Holy Smokes! So glad he is alive!

Did the girl who caused the accident live?

prayers from here.

And I would be willing to drive the Vette home until he can drive..

[timbrhuntr]

Dang that is a lot worse than it first sounded. Hoping for a speeding recovery with no lingering side effects !

[GLS]

Please, continue to reports. Hoping and praying....

[hookspur]

Dang...that's terrible! I sure hope he makes a speedy recovery, but it sounds like it's gonna be a prolonged ordeal. Please tell him I'll be thinking good thoughts and sending positive vibes his way!!

[Shooter]

Thank you everyone, for all your kind words. you don't know how much it means to me!!!
They just now let me come home. Yep, it turned out much worse than first thought. Have a busted liver, and broke ribs, along with all the other.
My chest and stomach are killin me, from the steering wheel, I guess.
the first few days, they kept me pretty sedated, but now I'm on pills, and they aren't helping much.
I changed directions 3 times in 3 seconds, trying to get away from this driver, but she was not having it. I heard through the grapevine, that she is pretty bad too. Lily was lucky, just a bunch of bruises, and sore.
they rebuilt my arm an elbow, along with my right knee, the best they could. Doc says my knee will never be the same.

here is a funny though. I didn't know they put a catheder in while in surgery, cause it was gone when I came to.
ya'll would have laughed your butt off, the first time I tried to take a piss. swear that hurt worse than all the rest,...lol.

here are a few pics of us and the car.

Wow! Lucky to still be here my friend. Those photos look bad. Can always be worse. Glad that you are able to tell your story. Heal fast, tommy.

After seeing your car, as bad as your injuries were, you were very fortunate. I remember looking at a car that had 2 fatalities, no worse than yours, that they were not wearing seat belts, and the car did not have air bags. I hope your healing process goes well, and there is minimal long term damage. Thankfully we still have you two with us. To think that someone's texting caused this is a level of stupidity that is hard for me to grasp.

Dang Tommy, looks like you had a rough go of it. Glad you got to come home, now get healed up so we can get on some turkeys next year!

[Grunt-N-Gobble]

Stay strong and get well soon!!!

Glad to see that you and Lily are home and on the mend. I know you have a long row to hoe, Tommy, but it could have been so much worse!! I pray that your recovery is swift and complete.

Holy CRAP........so glad you two are alive......praying for fast healing....remember y'all have turkeys to kill this spring.

[Johndoe]

Talked to Tommy. Seemed in good spirits. He called about my Pinky.
Doin physical therapy daily.

[hawglips]

Wow! Hang in there Tommy. Glad you are home!

[redarrow]

Good to talk with you Tommy. Praise God all mighty your gonna be ok.Continued prayers my brother.

[FullChoke]

I know that you are one tough cookie, Tommy and it will not break that spirit of yours. Get well soon.

I will say this about those photos of your truck, it looks like it crumpled perfectly and probably saved your life. The energy of the impact appears to have been dispersed and redirected through the structure and not straight to you.

Hang in there and don't get discouraged. You will come back from this with time and prayers.

You got that right Ma!! I noticed today while chatting with Red on the phone, that my yelper was not damaged in the crash,...lol.
I was tellin him of one of my nurses in the hospital, that has a boyfriend who turkey hunts. She said she learned to yelp with her voice, so she could call better than her boyfriend. I said, let me have it!!! she did a series, and said, whatcha think of that?? I said, that was pretty good.
She says, can you do it?? I'll give it a try, it's been a little while. I gave a series, and her face was hilarious,..
She goes, you need to be a pro turkey hunter. I say, I've thought about it once or twice,....

Yep JD, I may have lost my yelper a few weeks back in the season, when the Doc gave me new meds for my type 2, and messed up my voice, owling, an yelping, but she is back in force. Sorry for the confusion back in the season!!!

BTW, the Vette has been cancelled for the moment. Got too much other crap to deal with for the next little bit.
