My son is fine. He was walking and back to work on a light schedule in four months; back to work fulltime in six months.
He still has residual pain from the accident but he deals with it. He landed on his hip, good thing he had a fat wallet! He had to have a rod inserted in the femur, like Gov. Cozine. Fortunately, he was wearing his helmet, so he avoided head injuries. His chest was not crushed (being on a motorcycle) but the blood loss was great. They almost lost him on the table, but TG, they were experts.
The worst thing he recalls were the fentanyl nightmares. His screaming almost woke up the dead down in the hospital morgue. The nurses were super. They watched him like eagles 24/7. I still can’t express my gratitude enough. And my amazement at the capabilities and skills of the docs. One doc wanted to amputate the leg—it was in such bad shape. A young doc said, “Hell, no! I’ll save that leg.” and, bless him, he did.
Everybody, please wear your seatbelts when in a car; please wear your helmet when on a motorcycle.
And show appreciation for the docs and nurses at your local hospital.
BTW, my son was struck by a drunk driver. :( So please don’t drink and drive...ever.
