Any one ever being in a car crash??

I believe the term the doctor used was "De-Gloving." The Achilles was torn, but not all the way through, or else it would have been a lot worse. Bones were fractured, but not shattered. Took me six month and several surgeries to get out of the WTU and back to a regular unit.

Someone actually asked me once "Did you get a purple heart?" to which I said "No, you only get that if the OTHER GUYS hurt you."

That stinks. I don't think people realize that driving tired can be just as bad or worse than driving drunk. :P Glad it healed up mostly ok.

I have been in 3 car crashes. Two of them my mother was driving. The first instance was, if my memory serves me correct, we were backing out from a place on a busy street when it happened. I basically got out with nothing but my mother got whiplash and my brother got a bump on his head. The second was and old lady did not stop in time, but thankfully not damage besides the car was done. The time it happened when I was driving it was wet and I was going too fast for the conditions, but I was doing the speed limit but I rear-ended the driver in front of me, who really should not have got over, but the only damage was to my car, thankfully.

A couple of fender-benders, but nothing at speed fortunately.

Glad to hear you are alright, gaelic.
