back....

well... after a week long stay at the hospital i'm back....

story: at a 7-11 there's a washateria connected to it, where me and my wife go to wash clothes, usual routine we go put our clothes in and walk to the 7-11 next door to get something to drink, however this day becomes far more than routine.

so we get our drink and walk out, as we're walking back (on the sidewalk) a black car, driven by an obviously intoxicated person, pulls into the parking lot. she jumps the curb, and 'bumps' my wife, but instead of slamming on the break, she slams on the gas, pinning my wife's leg between the bumper of the car and a brick wall.

long story short my wife's upper leg was broken, right up near the thigh and we just got home last night. she had to have surgery and a rod put into her leg.

to my friends here, please don't drive intoxicated, there is no excuse, you may think you're safe to drive and you're fine, but even that split second could have been the split second to trigger which pedal to slam on sparing my wife from the pain she will now endure for the rest of her life.

you been gone way to long. I would be so fucking pissed if someone got themself that shit-faced then jumped in a car and smashed into my wife. If he just pushed the pedal a little more when coming to the curb it would have been easy to kill her.

I rag on people that drive drunk worse than theyre mom could

Welcome back.

dude im sorry to hear that. glad your back tho

Yes, very glad to see some legendary blood among us once again.

Are you getting a big settlement out of all this? Fuck, I know I would if some drunk hurt me or someone I loved. Take her for all she's worth, eh?

Love ~

sorry about what happend, i agree alchohol and driving is very dangerous and we should incourage others not to drink and drive, welcome back though

Best wishes to you and your wife.
:thumbsup:

Hey that is fucked,,,sux to hear that... wishing a speedy recovery to the misses...

we have one of our area's best attorney (terry bryant if you know him), and she had progressive insurance... so i have high hopes, attorney is gonna try to get me money for having to see that (1 more step forward and it would have been me, and i truley wish it had been me)

as for the pushing the pedal, they slammed on the gas instead of break, only way it was going any further down was if she pushed it through the floorboard. the bill we've got so far is nearly 10,000

Im so sorry to here about your wife, I wish her a speedy recovery

slip,

Ive pulled the keys away from at least 3 people who were hell bent on driving after drinking way too much.

Get this.

A girl I used to know killed a man while driving drunk. He had three puppies he was bringing home to his 3 daughters.
Thanks to her dumbass that man died in a car wreck after she collided into him.

Whats worse is that several years later she attempted to get behind the wheel again............drunk.

Ive taken the keys away from at least three people too drunk to drive and it always ends in a major fight.

I wont hestitate to call the cops ahead of time.

I dont drink myself. Last time......5 years ago.


Have a good one

Well, hopefully the drink-driver is rich and you can squeeze him dry of every single dollar he has. Then you can buy a washing machine :thumbsup:

at that point protective instinctis kicked in, if i hadn't had to of hold my wife up til the paramedics came.... well lets just say their injuries would have been far worse... in my head, after i was at the hospital watching her lay there in that pain, the thought played through my head of slamming their heads in the car door til incompacitated and then running THEM over, lets just say they're lucky i had to be there for my wife... DAMN LUCKY, i don't put psycho in my name for no reason, i really am psychotic, and i wouldn't have hesitated, but my wife needed me more then those assholes needed to be taught a lesson.... i hate seeing her this way, it tears me apart, it's probably equivelant of just watching your child slowly die and there's nothing you can do....

Jeez, SlipKnotPsycho, I'm so sorry y'all had to go through that. Please give BabySnookums my love and best wishes for a fast recovery. I hate it that that happened to her. Is she still in the hospital? This sucks, and you two are some of my favorite folks on this board.

Glad you've got a good attorney. He'll go after the truly deep pockets in this situation, which is the drunk's insurance company. They'll, of course, say they're not responsible for covering their insured since he was breaking the law and will drop his policy like a hot potato. And any good attorney will simply keep on keeping on. With continued hassles and threats, they'll eventually settle and cover Snookums' medical, pain and suffering, and plenty more just to shut y'all up and get y'all off their case. Good luck with this!!! Again, many best wishes for a speedy recovery to Snookums.

we're home now, thankfully.. the hospital was a joke, you ask for medication it takes 2 hours, you ask for a nurse and a bed pan it takes 20 to get there, you ask to get off it (instead of staying for something that takes 3 mins max) and it takes them 45 mins. and i know htey weren't busy thorugh all this i picked up smoking again, and i'd often go smoke, and see the nurse in charge sittting there, sometimes just talking instead of doing their job...

i just hate having to sit her watching her in pain.... that's the worst part.

Glad you're both home and sorry the hospital was so lousy and its staff so lazy. I'm afraid a lot of them are like that. Sounds like you've been a good and devoted husband and a good nurse even if the whole adventure has driven you back to cigarettes. I'm going to see if Snookums is online and give my best wishes to her, too.

she's not, she's rarely on, she basicly only shadows my posts, eventually she'll find this, but yea...

Sorry to hear that SlipKnot.

People who drink and drive really piss me off. At least of the courtesy to save someone elses life if not your own. Assuming they'll crash at some point.

I wish her full and fast recovery.
As for that drunk driver, leech every penny she's got.

im so sorry
that was terrible
i wish ur wife a speedy recovery

Drinking in driving is dangerous and stupid, period.

I'm sorry to hear about your wife. I'll pray for the best.

I gotta say amen to not drinking and driving. I never drink, and when I do, I never drive, because it doesn't take much to get me shitfaced. I wish your wife a speedy recovery, and just think about how nice of a washing machine you can get now.

I was wondering where have you been

I haven't seen you in ages

I'm sorry to hear about what happened

I wish your wife a speedy recovery and I hope you dry that fucker out of every dime he has

Drunk driving is one of the most fucked up things I know of

People fail to understand that not only can u hurt yourself but you put others in danger

I can accept anything a person does but not if can affect another person/people directly or indirectly in a negative

dude that sucks man, u need to come back here more. Im sorry to hear that though, i hope your wife heals quick.
