Samuel Dravis Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 So yesterday I hear that someone I know had a wreck and her truck rolled over several times. She is going to live, but her back was crushed pretty badly (apparently it's being held together with a metal pin) and it might be a year before she can walk, if at all. She'd appreciate it - I'd appreciate it - if any of you said a prayer or had wellwishes for her. Thanks.
The Seeker Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 Oh man, I'm sorry to hear that. She'll be in my thoughts and prayers. I hope she gets better soon.
Black Knight of Keno Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 I'm not the one to pray, even in my weakest mind of state, but I wish that she'll have a quick recovery
BongoBob Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 ****, it seems like that's the way everything happens...something awsome happens (win tickets), and life kicks you in the nuts... Serously, I hope she get's well soon. She's in my thoughts. *is not emo*
Writer Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 D'oh! Ouchie... prayers will be heard from me this night.
Lady Jedi Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 Ugh. Not good, indeed. It sounds awful for her, and, certainly, all the people that know her. She's in my prayers. I'm glad it wasn't any worse, but it's still horrible. Some things to keep in mind: 1) Doctors are full of crap a lot of the time. Everything is so 'worst case scenario' with them. 2) She'll walk again. See #1 3) I hope you all pull through this. Let her know we're thinking of her.

topshot Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 Ouch. I hope she gets gets strong enough to walk again!
narfblat Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 Ugh. Not good, indeed. It sounds awful for her, and, certainly, all the people that know her. She's in my prayers. I'm glad it wasn't any worse, but it's still horrible. Some things to keep in mind: 1) Doctors are full of crap a lot of the time. Everything is so 'worst case scenario' with them. They sort of have to be that way. An optimistic prognosis that turns out to be wrong could lead to lawsuits. Crazy sue-happy society. I wish her a speedy recovery.

El Sitherino Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 Everything is so 'worst case scenario' with them. The phrase "mal-practice suit" comes to mind. There's a reason you can't give people blind hope for the best, because there's always the possibility that something goes wrong and you get sued by dumbass family members. Anyway, you have my best wishes to send to her.
Samuel Dravis Posted March 4, 2006 Author Posted March 4, 2006 Let her know we're thinking of her. D'oh! I should have thought of that today. I'll tell her tomorrow when I call her. Anyway, she's doing better than I thought, and that's a very good thing. She's even started therapy already, so whatever you're doing, keep doing it. Thanks everyone.
jebbers Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 yea that is tragic...my folks were in an accident but they are all right...some of you may remember my brothers wife..who was in an accident...and totaled the mustang...winter can be a b*tch sometimes....and at the same time fun with the snowboarding and sledding...but hope your friend recovers fast...
Darth_Malak02 Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 some of you may remember my brothers wife..who was in an accident...and totaled the mustang...winter can be a b*tch sometimes OMG...my mom did the same thing...mustang even...anyway, sorry about that, how is she recovering, keep us updated...
Lady Jedi Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 D'oh! I should have thought of that today. I'll tell her tomorrow when I call her. Anyway, she's doing better than I thought, and that's a very good thing. She's even started therapy already, so whatever you're doing, keep doing it. Thanks everyone. Awesome. It really sucks to be hurt like that, I'm glad to hear she's doing better. I think that when somthing like this happens, when somebody gets hurt, some dies, or something we all should get together and make a get well card and we all could sigh it and/or add a little message or something. I think I remember us doing something like this before or something....so, you guys think we should do something like this for Sam's friend just to help show her that people are thinking of her and that we do care? Yeah, we did that for Gothix when he was hit by a car... It's a good idea. Someone has to make the thing, though.....
Darth_Malak02 Posted March 4, 2006 Posted March 4, 2006 would this be a real card or an e-card...I could do an e-card, and I'd try to do a real card, but it would have to be sent to me...

Just an image would be fine - I can print it out and give it to her. Strangely enough, she doesn't give a flip about compys(!?), so that's probably what I would have to do anyway. EDITS: Forgot to mention her name if anyone had wanted to personalize the card if anyone makes it; it's Liz.
Joe© Posted March 6, 2006 Posted March 6, 2006 I am glad to see she's on the mend. I will still pray for her.
