Thumbs up Update

Since I do most of my posting in the Florda forums, cuz were riding dirty down here in the South.....But I figured its about time to give you all an update on my condition.

I am doing much better now. My shoulder is really getting better, my back hardly bothers me anymore. I am still having troulbes with my left leg, although I will say its better than its been. I go to the doctors Monday, and Tuesday and the they will decide wether I need surgery or not. I spend most of the day sitting on the couch now. Getting sort of sick of watching TV.

Today is exactly 7 weeks from the accident. Hopefully things go good at the doctors and they cut me loose for work soon. I will make a post sometime next weed early to let you all know how it goes with the doctor. I am getting sick of being in a wheelchair. I only hope and pray that when they stand me things go good. I just don't wan't to lie and sit around anymore, It sucks to be limited.

Thanks agian to all of you that have sent letters, PM's emails...
The support I received here will never be forgotten.

Drive safe,
Mike

Car accident

Car pulled into my lane, hit them at 45 MPH. They were in a 93 buick roadmaster. Thats like hitting a sherman tank in a redline. 5000 lb car vs 2900 lb car.






Pre Crash

Damn man-you're lucky to even be alive. I'm sorry that happened but I'm also proud to see someone not sitting around having a pity party for themselves. Keep chuggin' and you'll do alright.
