yea that too.

i did a 2 week follow up yesterday, got to see the x rays, they look horrible to me.. on a front view my one side is all flattened out.. and the doc pointed out to me that below the 3 broken ribs are 3 more cracked ones nobody told me about. he said that in another 4 weeks we should see the bones fusing back together and that the pain will gradually go away as they do.

right now it can still be pretty bad. this is my first bad accident, i know u went through a doozy yourself.. but the stuff they give me doesnt get rid of the pain, i only can tell to take more when i start sweating

damn....man my ribs hurt waaayy worse than my back did. Now my back hurts daily but of course the ribs are fine. After something like that, you really realize how much you took your health for granted. Oh and to help the medical bills...i'll give ya a 100 bux if you can do a pull up I tried to pull myself up into my truck soon afterwards and damn near cried If it had to happen, this was a good time while your car was down. I couldnt drive a stick for awhile because of the pain. My best story was sitting on the can after some of the initial morphine wore off......I couldnt get up by myself...lol....it was very humiliating. My *** went to sleep before I finally faced that I wasnt moving by myself and yelled for help.
