I hurt guys

hi...need vibes please

got out of the hospital today...in a shitload of pain.

Got in a wreck...dude hit me head on at like 45 mph and I was doing 20 or so....really bad shit...lucky I'm alive.

All 8 air bags deployed....cops said they found me walking behind gas station.....don't remember.I don't even remember the wreck.I was passing blood fast I guess.I hurt bad.was in ICU for 4 days.

Kind of funny...the cops said they had to chase me down and tackle me...to take me to the hospital

I'm fucked up...need some vibes.

You're probably in a lot of pain and possibly still in shock so take it as easy as you can.

Hope you recover fully and that others aren't badly hurt.

In any case, try to take care, and if anything I guess unusual happens, call your doc.

Try and wean yourself off the drugs as quickly as possible. I f you take them for an extended period of time chances of additional problems developing are huge....

I am so sorry to hear this awful news...

Please take care of yourself, and give yourself time to heal. You WILL be OK, but it will take some time.

ICU for 4 days is no joke.

Major, major vibes for healing and being pain-free...

So glad to know you're at least okay enough to let us know. You really shouldn't be alone during this, will need help with your meds and feeding you and your dogs. Is there someone you can get to be there, or is someone else already there? You know that DUers are thinking of you and would be more than willing to help, if only we were near enough. Please let us know how you are...

p.s. Your Secretariat thread is just fine. I K&R'd it, am a huge Secretariat fan, too.

My father has been in the ICU for about a week, ho got out this weekend, and is headed to a care place for a while now.

I suppose you can be forgiven for the lack of a comma this time...

Take it easy. Have patience, it will take a little time for your body to right itself again.

for your speedy recovery. I hope someone is taking care of you and the dogs!

And I hope there is no lingering effects after your crash. A lot of you pain might be because the police had to tackle you. But if your were moving around after the crash maybe there isn't too much damage. Just pain from you're body's shock and having to be tackled.

Hope your recovery goes well. Listen to your doctors and health providers. Get off the pain-killers ASAP. Do rehab. And FIGHT like hell to get your life back. Do not give up or get discouraged, no matter how hard it is. FIGHT LIKE HELL.

I speak from recent experience!

28. Soft tissue damage needs extra vitamin C.
Mon Apr 8, 2013, 12:05 PM
Apr 2013

Don't just make sure you take the recommended daily allowance, but when you are sick or injured you need a LOT more vitamin C. Vitamin C is quickly excreted (hard, but not impossible, to overdose on it), so take a slow-release form, or else take it more than once a day. This is a really simple and easy way to help yourself when you are healing. I wish you well!
