Well my friends. I still am doing the Vanco drip for my staph infection. On 10/16/05--my firest real day out since the 15th of septemeber. My niece had a baby shower and I was called to help bring stuff home since i had a big SUV. I left the hall, and drove half a block and had a green light--and a LIMO ran the red light and hit me. Thnak god no kids were in my truck. I was taken on a back board by ambulance to hosiptal. This is 1 month after all that surgrey. I still had the vanco drip in my arm--no it was not going at the time. The limo driver was drunk, had bad stickers on the car. His limo was totaled and so was my 2004 Envoy. I went to the dr yesterday as my neck was hurting and I have not been able to sleep. I keep replaying the whole thing in my head. I also thank god that I had three witnesses that saw the entire thing, and the police report says he ran a steady red light.
In the ER that did give me a prec, he wanted to give me 2 I declined--he also wrote a script for 25 which I gave to my sister.
I will never forget the sond of inpact, and the airbags hitting me. Thank god I had my seat belt on also
I am not looking to make money on this, I am so thankful that I am alive, and that no one was killed--I am pissed that because he was drinking that I now am without a car--but that can be replaced.
Why I am trelling you this is because had it been over a year ago--I would have been on something--god is really working with me , I think he is telling me to make every day special. I do have a few more DR's to see--I go to my back DR next Thursday. I hope all is well there.
So 2 surgreys, 1 totaled carand I have not abused PILLS---THANK YOU LORD.....
Mike
oh, you poor baby...take the sucker for everything he's worth...you deserve something for pain and suffering...i'm sure that limo company is well insured and hopefully they have fired the drunken idiot....if you don't want to sue now you have up to a year to file suit...i'm sure your insurance company is going to want to go after them anyway
Mike
I'm sorry about your car but like you said, that can be replaced. It sounds like you could have been a lot worse. Sounds like you're doing all the right things Mike. Stay strong and don't be a stranger. I think about you all the time. I hope everything works out for you and yes, thank God this didn't happen while you were using.
Take care big guy

Mike:
Your gratitude shines through on everything. You are an inspiration.
Hey Mike,
Dang, just never ends for you huh?
Dang, just never ends for you huh?
I have had more people say to sue--but I am just not that same guy I was before God came into my life. Sure I was scared as hell, my whole family was there--the looks on their faces--to see them crying--that hurt me the most. It also in a funny way showed me that all this time I didnt feel love, yet I seen through there tears that they did love me. They all came to the ER with me, and all I could say was dont cry--I am ok--dot knowing that I was. I was not sure what damage I did to my back--because of all the problems I had.
I am angry that some drunk driver hit me, but I also forgive him--which is weird. I want nothing bad to happen to that guy. Maybe this was his wake up call. I feel that my will is being tested everyday. Since the 14th of Sept with my first surgrey nI have had more chance to score pills---more then ever and have mot taken them. God is showing me that life will deal cards that are not the best, but with him by my side---I can do it.
Please dont think I am a Bible belter, but I have to think that with all that is going on, and that I have had set back afterset back---and not fallen into the trap of pills---but insyead God---there must be truth that if you let go, and turn it over--you will be taken care of.
I turned 41 toay, lucky to see this day---and I feel like my life is just starting !!!
All of you have a greta day and please take each day as a special day--dont fight, dont be angry, just enjoy life and each other.

To say you have been tested is an understatement, Mike. You have always been my hero, and you keep impressing me with each new incident. I am not a bible belter, either, but would have to say, God is looking out for you.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Have a good day today, and a wonderful 41st year!
Mike, good luck with everything your doing awesome and Happy Birthday you geezer.

I am so happy that you are okay. You will lose that one - against a long limo.
You are so positive, I'm sure that will help you and I am so proud that you have made it through all w/o pills - when like you say, they are willing to hand them to you now.
An inspiration to all,
Love, Jean
