OT Had auto accident all OK

Hello Friends,

Had an auto accident on a road called "Cherry Valley Road", just outside the town of Cherry Valley, Illinois. Was on my way back from a good fishing trip and a car ran a stop sight. I was doing 55mph thank God. Both cars are totaled and he got a ticket, he got a ticket for running a stop sign and failure to reduce speed. Both cars are severely totaled.

I had a broken sternum from the impact and air bag. A blood clot behind the sternum and some bleeding in the urine. I have had three separate neck fusions and my neck is severely sprained. I have to wear a neck brace for several weeks. The doctor said the sternum will react just like when I had open heart, sore for several weeks. I had no build up of fluid around the heart, just a little bruising. The other guy had surgery on his leg and hip.

I will be fine! If I feel ok I will post.

Hugs & God bless, Dennis & Gail

Keeping good thoughts for a quick and easy recovery. Listen to your doctors and do what they say. Make sure they keep an eye on your neck, particularly in light of the previous fusion work; don't want that to get messed up.

Hello Mirjam,

I left the computer of for a couple of days. I am doing fine. The fractured sternum will be sore for a couple of more days. I see the doctor on the 21st, I will have a second mri of my neck, this brace is not fun during the summer. The neck is feeling a lot better.

I will be fine in a couple of weeks Mirjam.

Hugs & God bless, Dennis & Gail

Mirjam,

It is very sore, just like having heart surgery again. It is hurting less every day. So, it will be alright eventually. My neck has had 3 different fusions, it hurt worse at first.

Thanks for asking. I hope your water and weather situation improves soon. Many good thoughts coming your way.

Hugs & God bless, Dennis & Gail
