Thanks You Guys

[OverKill]

As many of you have heard on 3/18/07 I was involved in an vehicle accident that left me temporaraly unable to walk. In a nut shell I was going home here in Queen Creek Arizona. I was driving in a 25mph two way road while being struck by a DRUNK DRIVER at speed guessed to be near 70 mph. I was told with that kind of impact I should not be alive. In fact the driver driffted off his side of the road and over corrected and hit me head on.
I can't thank the medics and fire department enough for cutting me out of a ball of metal. To the extent of my injuries Well lets say it like the Doctors did, my feet were in the shape of steping on two land mines ( two BOMBS). I now have a Titanium rod running through my left femur holding it together, and a titanium rod holding my left for arm together along with 4 cracked vertebre. I must say as painful as it was/is, it could still have been worse.
It is unfortunite the individual that hit me died on inpact. From what I was told he had no air bag and the steering wheel crushed him to death. He did in fact test to twice the leagle drinking limit. I in fact had both, airbag, and seatbelt that saved my life. I was knocked out for about 5 seconds by the airbag and because of me blocking my pretty face with my arms, the airbag is what broke my left for arm. Oh and if you have any loose items in your SUV/car put it away. I left some jumper cables laying in the back and by the suddon stop they swung and cut the back of my head open.
I have now already had 6 surgeries and am expected to make a full recovery. Im told I should be hobbleing around in my walker in about two months. I guess then I will be back on the water.
So I really want to thank you all here on ***boat for all your post's and concerns. I want to give speacial thanks to Squirtcha? and family, and TAF for your visits at my dull low moral hospital room.
Thanks again
OverKill (James) :D

After one beer (and no food fer 4 hrs.) poor James realize he shouldn't try to finish his second beer. Sorry James that you couldn't have made it to the boat drags. How'd yer latest surgery go? Just as painful as the last...I hope not. Everyone from HB at the boat drags asked about you. I went to call you when Somkindamonster was ask'g fer yer phone # again but I got busy work'n on the boat. You going to be home Fri.?:idea:

wow is right! I, too, am real glad to hear you're going to make a full recovery!
does anyone have one of those truck bed hoists? maybe it could be hooked up into your boat and you can be a little more self reliant ;)
As I said, it's real good to hear you're on your way to recovery!
