That sounds pretty nasty and scary..I've never been in a life threatening car accident before.

What'* up with your leg, O' master of the parts locator?

I fell off a cliff, they were going to amputate it but they kept it on. I just have no feeling in it below the knee. Lots o metal in there to hold it togehter, 2 surgeries done, 2 to go.

Great(?) story, Troy. Glad you are still around and found us to tell it. Bet you buckle up now, huh??

I was a cop, and had to see too many people that didn't.

Thanks.... You are 100 percent correct, Sir! There'* not a moment that I'm in a vehicle now without one on.... front or back seat. I'm pretty sure I would have had a face full of iron after being ejected through the windshield if I hadnt been wearing it. Either that or I would have snapped my neck on the airbag.

Oh man...... I'm hate to hear that. So how long has it been, what have they done so far, what'* left to do, and do you have a chance of getting the feeling back?

I've got numbness and muscle spasms(it'* twitching as I type this) in my lower ankle and foot..... dont know what I'd do if it was all the way up to the knee.

As said above...... tolerating this is nothing compared to the alternative.
