Gotta watch out for those Japanese Zeros! :D (My little Dodge/Eagle has a Mitsubishi engine in it.)
1. I am encouraged with my progress & the doctors assure me I will be 100% in time.Quote:

2. No stop light, it is a dangerous intersection & there are wrecks there often.
3. I feel we get along very well & I considerer you a friend.
We had a bumpy start but I never let a bad 1st impression lock things in.
I have no hard feelings towards you at all & I enjoy talking to you.
4. Yep, Allstate treated me good & I'm glad I switched to them last year.
I was with Nationwide for nearly 30 years but when they refused to insure a house my wife inherited that we are trying to sell I got pissed & switched to Allstate.
I saved $400 on the auto insurance @ Allstate with better coverage than Nationwide.
Allstate also has accident forgiveness which means the accident won't raise my rates. :D
5. Nope the semi-driver ducked away & didn't even make a report.
He blocked our vision & was a key factor in the accident but disappeared just after the accident.
I have some words to describe him but let me just say he isn't on my Christmas list.
The young lady was transported to the ER for evaluation, she was treated & released.
Her air-bag deployed, so she got 2 black eyes & a scraped knee was her only other injury.
I'm glad she wasn't seriously injured, she could have been hurt seriously too.
6. I am having good days & bad days but the soreness is gradually subsiding.
Today is getting better as the day proceeds which is good after having 2 bad days of aches & pain.
7. I'm leaning to a Toyota pick-up but I plan on going used.
Once most people get a Toyota they hold onto them until they are worn-out.
If I'm lucky, maybe I can find a repo & their loss could be my gain.
F-250s are good trucks & I also like the late model Dodge pick-ups.
My dad had a C100 Chevrolet & I wasn't overly impressed with it.
8. It feels good to be back & thanks to everyone for the well wishes. :D
For now I am taking the Lortabs every 4 hours. (as directed)Quote:

I am aware Lortab is a narcotic & can be additive.
But for now I need them but I'm not abusing them.
I'm sure in time I won't need them. :D
When I had my spine surgery I tried to cut back on the pain meds a little too soon. Man oh man did I pay the price for that stupid move. Pain meds are funny things. They tend to not be addictive when you're actually using them for pain control. Only you know how much pain you can bear.Quote:

Well let me say it like this. The trucking world is vast and has many different style and variations of drivers; as pertaining to thier talents.However if you could possible rememeber the name of the company he was with-I Might just run into him and let him know how thankful you are he stopped to help you both out.It would be my pleasure.
The majority of us like bike riders feel an obligation to help anyone anyway we can without jepordizing our loads.I aploogize for his lack of moral commitment and hope you won't judge all of the industry on his lack of human compassion.
I am fairly new to this industry but in the 18 months i've been in it I've accuilated 1 million miles and learned how the real drivers like to be represented.
Thanks for the rest of your post.
I'm happy to read things will be just fine and you'll be back to normal.Good luck.
My wife's cousin's hubby is interstate bigrig driver.
He is a good buddy of mine & I agree most bigrig drivers would have checked on us.
He used to drive a gasoline bigrig & he often stopped to offer assistance when he came upon an accident.
I am convinced the driver realized he was a factor in the accident & didn't want to be involved.
Most truck drivers have strong values & they would have at least checked on us.
I also imagine most truck drivers would have stayed to be a witness & filed a report.
The truck driver couldn't be blamed, the young lady & I had the accident.
My insurance is blaming her & her insurance is blaming me, I'll let them fight it out between theirselves.
My premium is paid-up, so I'm covered either way.
I've got my check already, now I'm healing & in a few weeks I will be buying another vehicle. :D
I am definately thinking it's time I got me a pick-up. :D
I hope I never have another accident, this is the worst one I ever had & the 1st I was seriously injured in.
I will definately be a more safety aware driver & I won't be taking any chances.
My son is an owner/operator and you're right about most truck drivers, gentlemen. Old school drivers anyway. Joey calls the rude ignorant ones steering wheel holders.
Yup. Pickup is the way to go.Quote:
