I thought I was going to come unhinged then they gave me a shot of the feel good juice. It was at that moment I could have fell in love with one of them. I must have expressed my feelings to the Life Flight crew because they put "Romeo1974" on my wrist tag and that is how I was registered at the hospital.

There are six broken ribs on the left side and two are clean breaks. My lung was partially collapsed, but that has been expanded back by the inconsiderate Pedigo therapy. He had the gift shop nurse deliver me a stuffed lamb. She was laughing at delivery and had the audacity to make me sign for it.

That's the last RIP thread I start. This karma crap is for the birds.

I called the hospital and asked the woman on the switch board what room you were in and that I wanted to send some luscious babe's up to your room, she hung up on me. I called back and explained that it was luscious babe's chicken.

Did it make it to your room? LOL

I wanted to thank everyone for all the well wishes, calls, texts, and messages that I have been getting. Pretty tender, but my crew chief is already reclaiming the car to be repaired. Gotta love a good crew chief.

My girls want to know where the stuffed animal came from and why I got one. I told them that Mr. Pedigo would explain it to them (this should prove interesting). It is about the perfect size for me to zip tie to the cross bar for extra padding. Unless there is a SFI approved small farm animal that I don't know about.

Again I appreciate all the get well stuff. It goes a long ways to help me recover. Looking forward to seeing you in the lanes!
