purpoptart,

Thank you very much for the get well wishes for my friend. He's also my friend as well as the guy who was driving the vehicle, so I was pretty upset when I got the news about the accident. And like I said earlier, another friend of mine was involved in a car accident a week before this happened, so between this accident and hers, I've been a nervous wreck lately worrying about everyone & their car accidents.

I am very sorry to hear about your husband. Car accidents can be devastating, and I thank God that none of my friends were that severely hurt in their recent accidents. Incidentally, the back condition that I suffer with is from a car accident that I was in about 5 & a half years ago now, (I was rear ended at 45mph by an SUV when I was driving a smaller size sedan) and my condition is degenerative.

Looking back on things and knowing that I'm going to have problems from this for the rest of my life, I really regret not suing the person who hit me, but at the time my symptoms went away in a little over a week and didn't know that they would come back later on. The statute of limitations has ran out on that accident now, so there isn't a darn thing I can do about it now, but if I could go back in time, I definitely would have sued the person who hit me because of all the problems I'm dealing with now. I guess it's one of those things that fall under the "hindsight is 20/20" category.

Take care,

Eeyore
