OT Had auto accident all OK

Thanks Katherine,

I removed the neck brace today and I am doing fine. The other
insurance is taking %100 responsibility, that is hard to get in Illinois
with the "no fault insurance" law. I have replaced the car with a car
of the same year and I am happy with it, all is well.

Higs,
Dennis & Gail

Hello Friends,

Had an auto accident on a road called "Cherry Valley Road", just outside
the town of Cherry Valley, Illinois. Was on my way back from a good
fishing trip and a car ran a stop sight. I was doing 55mph thank God.
Both cars are totaled and he got a ticket, he got a ticket for running a
stop sign and failure to reduce speed. Both cars are severely totaled.

I had a broken sternum from the impact and air bag. A blood clot behind
the sternum and some bleeding in the urine. I have had three separate
neck fusions and my neck is severely sprained. I have to wear a neck
brace for several weeks. The doctor said the sternum will react just
like when I had open heart, sore for several weeks. I had no build up
of fluid around the heart, just a little bruising. The other guy had
surgery on his leg and hip.

I will be fine! If I feel ok I will post.

Oh, dear, Dennis, how terrifying! I am so glad that you weren't more
serioiusly hurt! I hope that his insurance will replace your car!

Higs,
Katherine

I have not been online for 6 or 7 days. I start 4 weeks of physical
therapy Friday. I will recover completely. I had a 56 mph impact and
had a minor fracture and a lot of bruises. Thank God for seat belts and
air bags.

I love you all so much!!!!!

Hello Mirjam,

I am doing better every day. I have been back to the doctor twice since
the crash. I am doing better every day. They said today they will not
tape my ribs any more. They would tape them for 2 days and go with out
for 24 hours. My sternum still hurts a lot, it may take up to a year to
heal completely, is what the doctor said. I hope not. The upper neck
and lower back is still pretty sore.

I will be fine.

Gail's respiratory system is getting weaker due to the ALS. We took her
to the ER 2 weeks ago Monday at 3 in the morning. The hospital sent her
home with a breathing machine, a cough assist machine and two other
pieces of equipment. She is doing better now.

Thanks for asking Mirjam.

Hugs & God bless,
Dennis & Gail
