Bruce's Journal

[goatgurl]

dang bruce, that's a bummer. so glad you are ok but listen to farmerjan about being careful about signing off on anything. I sure hope you can find another Prius that suits you. take your pain meds and muscle relaxers like you should cause today and tomorrow should be your worst days for stiffness. take care of yourself

 

[Bruce]

Thanks GG. I've seen that advice from several people and will heed it. The ER is sending me to the osteo group, I'm supposed to call tomorrow. They said something about "wedging" in my neck, don't know if it is new and due to the accident or old from something else.

 

[farmerjan]

Even if it is "old", the accident can have aggravated it... but for all practical purposes, if you never had an issue with it before, IT IS NEW..... Believe me, even though you are younger than me, at this stage of the game, any damage, injury, etc., gets harder and harder to deal with and since this was totally NOT YOUR FAULT, let that ins. co. shoulder the expenses. I am the poster child for saying "it's okay" and then down the road finding out that it really wasn't... or that the damage only becomes a bigger problem as you get older and joints etc., get worn out.

 

[Bruce]

Yes'm.

Dang @Bruce I'm glad you're ok and not seriously hurt.

I've totaled 2 cars, one my fault, one not. Either way, the car is gone. I hope you have no lingering injury. It sucks that your car is gone. Hope you can find the right one at the right price.

How are you feeling @Bruce ? I was not on BYH for about a day and a half, came back on do a quick check last night and read about your accident and now heard about Latestarter's passing.

Dang, Mr. @Bruce, sir! I am glad to know that you are OK, relatively speaking. I'm sure you will heed the voices of others regarding signing anything just yet. As for another vehicle, have you considered buying a vehicle that's more like a tank than a gocart? I mean that if you ever collide with someone else, unless they have a tank as well, they will suffer more damage than you would. If I am in a collision with someone while I am driving my F-350 dually diesel, more than likely I'll be OK while THEIR vehicle is totaled. If you buy a truck, you will be able to haul a lot more, and if it is four wheel drive, you'll be able to travel in bad weather better. Probably your daughters won't ask to borrow them. The downsides? Initial cost, operating costs, etc. I get the WONDERFUL fuel economy of 15 MPG. But I'd still prefer my truck over a smaller vehicle. Anyhow, just a thought.

Sorry but there is no way I'm buying a truck as my daily driver. Putting gas in that would put me in the grave. I have never owned a gas hog and never will. I realize just saying that might get me kicked out of the herd

I did have to rent a Chevy Silverado to return the splitter. Can't say I enjoyed anything about driving that other than the splitter fit in the bed. If I had real need to haul stuff regularly I would consider an old PU but I don't foresee that need.

Not sure that would do me much good, he died in 2005. Well, at least the actor that portrayed him did.

Woke up several times again last night, sharp neck pain. Still not real comfy today, neck and down the right side of my back. But, in theory, things should be improving tomorrow.
