Car Forum / Jeep / April 2004Mike Romain
Hey, it just occured to me. I havent been here in quite a while and when I do come, I browse through really fast so I miss stuff. I was just wondering, how are you feeling? How is your recovery doing? I hope you are doing much better. This summer will be a year right? How is your ground strap? ;) KH Hanging in there thanks. Not a real happy camper though.... Impact damage is nasty, I am losing the sight in my right eye, it has gone badly double vision all by it's self and is getting worse, the left eye seems ok. I did have one stroke from bouncing off the door frame and I just had a second MRI to make sure I didn't have a second one when the eye went nuts. Got those results last week. The eye surgeon figures the gel center of my eye got knocked loose and it isn't healing nice, it is pulling on the macula or vision center. At least my neck is holding stable and I can handle 2 or 3 hours of light off roading without being in too much pain. It has been a long year.....

Im glad at least you are still here :) KH > Hanging in there thanks. > [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > > > > KH Hi Mike: Sorry to hear that you are still having health problems. Our prayers are with you for a good recovery. Are you taking vitamins? I am a strong believer in a GOOD QUALITY multi-vitamin and mineral tablet every day, plus extra vitamin C, and other vitamins daily. When I say good quality, I don't mean a One A Day brand or similar multi vitamin. Go to a local health food store and check into high quality, high potency multiples. I'm not saying that extra daily vitamins will "cure what ails you," but they will help promote overall good health, healing, etc. Hope you feel better soon, Tom > Hanging in there thanks. > [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > 86/00 CJ7 Laredo, 33x9.5 BFG Muds, 'glass nose to tail in '00 > 88 Cherokee 235 BFG AT's snip Oh ya, I am trying to be a good boy with diet and things. Even quit cigarettes back before xmas.... It's a strange feeling being able to breath clear again, LOL, really strange.

(G= 'Government' P= '80 inch wheelbase') A small general-purpose motor vehicle with 80-inch wheelbase, 1/4-ton capacity, and four-wheel drive used by the U.S. army in World War II. (Please remove the OBVIOUS to reply by email) ___________________________________________________________ Yes I do, very much so! That was a text book case for a top side air bag. My knee would still have got smucked up likely, (I am tall, no place for my leg to move to so it was against the door and dash) but the side snap of my head wouldn't have happened maybe. I have ended up with the neck vertebra from C-3 to C-7 compressed which is raising hell on my left side seizing 'all' the muscles including the ones I breathe with if I move wrong. I wouldn't have hit the door frame either. That gave me a stroke and likely messed up the eye. I was in a Saturn Car.

Mike was the passenger and T-boned. God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O mailto:LWHughes3rd@aol.com http://www.billhughes.com/ > Sorry to ask mike...but what happened? I had a chunk of dirt scratch my eye so the local clinic put a patch on it and said don't drive, back last June. A friend who owns a Jeep, but had traded it for a Saturn car with his boss for a couple days (divorced boss, had kids for weekend, wanted Jeep) offered to drive me to the beer store. We got back and he was turning right into the driveway when some fool in a Honda came flying by on the ditch side and T-boned me sitting in the passenger seat. The street is only 9 houses long and is sand seal with ditches. My knee got messed up from the front end coming through the door, the seat belt popped a couple ribs out of place, my head hit the door post causing a stroke which messed up my sense of smell among other things and put 4 neck vertebra into compression and messed up my sight in my right eye big time.... Oh and then I got the freaking Mumps from the doctors office just before Xmas and got quarantined for the holidays!!!!!! The whole damn holiday season! I have had a shitty year... It's getting better! I can cruise trails now without being in pain as long as I don't push it! Physotherapy even agrees and recommends it. I only use a lap belt on the trails and the no impact twisting and turning helps my back. Mike > Sorry to ask mike...but what happened? > [quoted text clipped - 31 lines] > > > > > > KH 1. Glad you're getting better. 2. I hope they hung this guy up by his toe nails. 3. I hope you're getting some $$ from this so you can handle the loss of work, etc. Bill > I had a chunk of dirt scratch my eye so the local clinic put a patch on > it and said don't drive, back last June.

I thought of you today, Mike. I was under my Jeep scraping mud away from the fill hole on my rear differential when some dirt dropped down into my eye. The first thing I thought was "I ain't gonna let anyone drive me to/from the beer store to get beer if my eye is messed up!" SERIOUSLY! I thought exactly that! Get better soon, dude, and thanks again for all of your advice and help! I have an intense fear of being a passenger.
