You\'re not going to believe THIS!!!

Hi All,

So the end of Y2K kind of stunk since I've had some pretty hairy eye surgery and my X-wife keeping me in court all of the time. So when 2001 rolls around and my eye is doing better and we finally managed 2 get some court stuff figured out, I'been feeling alot better and have had an awesome attitude regarding this year. I had pretty much dealt with the fact that I couldn't race this year and had made and alternate plan that looked pretty good.

UNTILL...(sarcasm) this Thursday night when I was playing poker with my buds and to make a long story short, I startled one of my friends while goofing around and he responded by giving me a super-magga-woofer WWF body slam to the floor. He only (more sarcasm) weighs 270 lbs and is all muscle. Needless to say this kind of shocked me and I soon realized that I could hardly move since I'm was having so much pain. After a while one of my friends takes me to the emergency room to find one broke collar bone, one broken shoulder (scapula???), three broken ribs, broken left arm, and azillay nerve damage to my left arm! ***?

Dr. says no casts can be used and I'll just to heal on my own time. It's all that I can do to get dressed and the medicine they've given me makes me see blue plymouths and pink Vipers, orange chargers and so on.

I KNOW that my friend didn't mean to hurt me he just doesn't know his own strength. All I know is that it looks like I'm out of work for another month or more. *** happened? Since I'm at a complete and stupendous loss for words (and typing with one hand) I wondered Whaddya make of this?

(No brake installs for a while.)

Regards,

I'm not an advocate of frivolous lawsuits but if someone does that much damage to my body and puts me out of work, I don't care who it is, I'll see them in court. $$$

Hope you feel better. If you are seeing pink Vipers it sounds like you can't be feeling THAT bad!

Hey Big Jim,

That's what's so wierd about this! I'm in perfect physical and am extremely strong and flexible. I can do the splits with ease and 6 to 7 years of ******** martial arts has brought alot of hits from some big guys. I can easily say that this was THE HARDEST HIT i've EVER taken. He had momentum from both of us (me 180 & him 270) and the blow was focused directly into my chest. After the initial shot he "bear hugged" me and then I felt my shoulder break. I can barely move my torso.

Dave, be sure to let us know if any of us here in the region can do anything at all to help you out. I know it probably hurts to even move a finger to type or click the mouse with those bad ribs, but post on the e-group if you need us.

Re: You\'re not going to believe THIS!!!

I wouldn't worry about it until that pink Viper started growing on you. You get a hit like that at the track you chalk it up to grins, but at the table?! I'm hoping for your speedy recovery David, it'll be too darn quiet at TWS without you.

Re: You\'re not going to believe THIS!!!

Hey Dave,
WOW, sounds like your buddy ought to consider a professional wrestling career. Ouch!!!, just take it easy. If you want my advice, I'd see a specialist about the axillary nerve damage in the left arm. You said that arm was broken, so I suppose it's difficult for you to actually assess any change in movement or feeling at this time in that arm or hand. But don't mess with it, you might want to consider seeing a Neurologist. As for the "friend" maybe you could be his manager

Re: You\'re not going to believe THIS!!!

Ouch, Dave it must hurt almost as much that you can't drive your Viper at the moment? Hey if you need nurse...I'd be willing to offer my services, in return to be able to drive your Viper? (I can't drive mine as he's still off-road while my exhaust is being re-fabricated, and it's killin' me!!)

Re: You\'re not going to believe THIS!!!

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the well wishes. I appreciate them.

So, Nadine, how are you with a sponge? LOL

As far as suing my friends, I don't think that's an option for me. Yeah, I'd probably win some money. But at what expense? This was an accident and I genuinely doubt that it ever occured to him that he could hurt me. Maybe it should've, but I don't think sueing him (or my other friend's insurance) would make things any better right now.

True, I'll probably be forced to sell my cars where before I had a choice, but hey, I made the money once and I can make it again.

So, anybody need an awesome Z06 or 2000 GTS Viper?
