Title: A Battered And Bruised Rustybus
Post by: rustybus on April 02, 2006, 07:21:14 AM: Thanks for the well wishes guys But like James said it was nothing serious. I still can't breathe deep, my right arm feels num and I have restricted movement on the right side nothing is broken. Just alot of internial bruising egp and other wise. I don't think I would have bin willing to go to the hospital even with the hard to breathe issue but all the cracking I heard as the car started to squwish me scared the crap out of me. As for work we will see what the family doctor say's monday

Thanks again
Chris

Post by: surgerypending on April 02, 2006, 10:40:31 AM: Man...all I can say is your one lucky guy! When I started to read this post it brought back some seriously bad memories for me. About five years ago I lost a very good friend when his Z-28 fell on him and crushed him. He was around the same age as me and had a wife and 2 little girls....very sad . We were close and we spent alot of time in my dads garage working on our Suzuki jeeps...he's missed by alot of people!.
Well, take care and get well soon Chris.

Post by: 68IIIbuggy on April 04, 2006, 07:48:05 PM: I feel for you, man.................lucky it wasn't more serious. I dropped a Chevy 1 ton on both my hands a couple months back. Didn't cause any permanent damage, but it sure made me think!
