maybe she should keep it down to a gentle chortle for now, until the bruised ribs are healed.

we wouldn't want her to laugh so hard she hurt herself more.

I'm very disappointed in Rickey's neighbors. Honey, if I lived near you, I would have sent Tim over there to help you, regardless of whatever we had planned. (I'm allergic to cats or I would come with him.)

Heck, I started laughing about it about 2 minutes after I realized I was alive.

The charge on my camera is too low to let me transfer my crashed car photo, however as soon as I get back from the doctor, I will post it ... or them.

Don't blame my neighbors. The Moons and the Millers are both super allergic to cats. On top of that, they both have company coming. Both of the guys are not able to lift anything very heavy. Even my usual cat sitter just had knee surgery and can't get around.

Poor Teresa got home from a 12 hour day at work, and just fell into bed. So, I did the cat boxes myself, and with the splint in place. The only thing that really looks bad is my left hand, which is rather puffy. However, I can do a little typing with both hands.

The only aggravation is that I can't get my iPhone to link up with my Wifi. Now that makes me nuts. No pain killers again until tonight. Have to go into town to doc, and then pick up scrips. Erk.

aw !

too bad i live so far away, i would go to the pharmacie for you and help you out with the kitties. i can't lift anything heavy myself though. i'm a small person and i'm useless for that.

Ricky you have not said what kind of car you were driving. To come out of the accident as well as you have it says something good for the car.

Your accident reminds me of an accident I had 30 years ago. I had a 912 Targa Porsche, it was in a head on collision with a large Ford pick-up, each car going about 30 mph. The other driver walked away from the accident and walked on home never stopping to see if I was OK. Fortunately some one saw the accident and saw were he went. The Police found him at home sitting in front of the TV drinking a beer.

My poor little toy was never the same but I was OK, but your brain can sure be shaken up good. And it seems if every muscle in your body aches.

We all love you Ricky.

I was in a Ford Escape. It turns out I made the front page of the Marble Falls newspaper.

I wouldn't have known, but when I went in to fill my Rx today, it was all anyone was talking about.

So, I went by the paper and bought a few copies.

It still hurts too much to type for long. I'm going to take some serious drugs and go to bed.

See photo attached. I scanned in the photo from the paper. I'll post the others later.

Seeing the pic makes it all the more amazing that you walked away from it with no serious injuries.

I just saw this thread for the first time.

Wow. I'm so sorry this happened to you! I'm glad you were able to walk away from the wreckage. I hope the friends you've been helping nearby, return the favor and make sure you're okay.

Be well. I mean it!

I don't know what you are whining about.

Replace everything from the drivers/passengers seat forward, and you'll be fine! The back tires look fine to me......

Some people just have to have something to complain about........

What a delightfully refreshing attitude to hear in this litigious society we live in today. My congratulations, Ricky, on your pragmatic attitude, and I hope that you fully recover soon and are back with us.

You should label that: See what happens when you let a male chihuahua in the same room as a Great Dane bitch in heat?

Glad to hear that the recovery is actually taking place, even if slowly...
