Hey all, been keeping this on the low down till I knew a little more about what was going to happen
On April 15 not only did the Government run over me with taxes, a kid at work ran over me with a Honda Accord.
Yes, he ran me over and he was not even in the car, he left it in drive and got out of the car. The car needed an Alt and battery so it was running real bad he got out to when I ask him what was wrong. He said he jumped it off and it runs like crap! I said hook the jump box back up (not realizing the tires were facing me and the car was still in "D") so he hooked the jump box up and next thing I knew I had a 2007 Accord on top of my left leg.
My right knee slammed the ground and neither one has been the same since. So finally Tuesday I will get an MRI on my right knee to see what's going on. While the left knee still hurts they will only do one at a time go figure.
So please keep me in your thougths till I hear what's going on.
Thnaks,
Tommy

Wishing you the best Tommy.
-
Well that story stinks. BOth the taxes and the car.
Wishing you well
-
I'm in the same boat with the taxes Tommy! This whole "Feed the Pig" advertising the government has about saving money makes sense now... They are the pig!
Anyways sorry to hear about you getting run over. Keep us posted.
-
Best of luck, Tommy. You are in our prayers.

Thanks guys, bad thing this is the same knee I had worked on las December :-[
I was hoping I would make it through 2013 without surgery, but looks like I may not. :(
OH well, I have had something done every year since 2006 (2008 being the only one not to have surgery) so why should this year be any different ??? ??? ???
-
Good luck Tommy!!
-
Sorry to hear of this Tommy. I hope the MRI comes back with favorable news for you, and that you will be on the mend in short order! Good luck,
Gene

Best wishes for a good outcome and speedy recovery.
-
Hoping all goes well for you amigo.
-
Tommy, Look here, it's obvious what the problem is with the doctor only doing one knee at a time. You have an Auburn graduate for a doctor and they can do only one thing at a time. :( I feel for you. Dee
-
Had my left knee done x 3 ... seems to working well now
-
Got you in my prayers. Take care of yourself!

Sorry about your leg Tommy. Best of luck, and get well soon!
-
Tommie,
prayers are with you. this sounds like a workman's comp issue so make sure you get everything you are entitled to and they don't lowball or shortchange you on the level of care.
-
All the best, Tommy!

Tommy, I'm praying for a good result on the MRI. That hospital should be giving you frequent patient miles. Keep us informed.
-
Tommy, how are you doing these days? Have your MRI results come back? Hoping the best for you buddy!
-
Good luck and a speedy recovery. If there is something there, the MRI will show it. Hope that it is very simple and that you are doing high hurdles again.
Regards,
Ed
-
Well it's Sunday and still no word on the MRI. I hope to hear from them soon :( It's hard to work as a line mechanic with bad knees
-
Well, good luck for favorable news. I know what troublesome knees can do for attitudes at times. Football been very very bad to my knees. Heck, on some days my knees are more accurate than the barometer.
-
Keep us posted Tommy, we are all hoping for good news.
-
We'll keep you in our prayers Tommy!
-
Well, just got back from the dr's office. Looks like another surgery for me and my rt knee :( Don't know when yet but will keep y'all posted
They still got my left knee to look at. That's the one that was ran over by the car
-
Dang. Sorry about that buddy. Hope the surgery goes smooth and well..........and ya get better real fast.
-
Wishing for the best my friend. Your family is in my prayers.
-
Tommy, I wish you the best. But, I have to wonder who has the most "mods" - you or your cookers... ??? ;)
All the best, buddy! You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Hope it's repairable T, Will be thinking about you. A 16 year old in Volkswagen got me.. One of the screws holding me together is poking me in the .... right now.
I think it started when I read this... It's Sympathy pain Bro.
-
Sorry ya gotta have surgery Tommy, but the main thing is to get back to being you again. Fix the other knee if needed, and hell, you'll be good for another 100,000 miles.

I'm sure they could mod it with a tiny little pellet smoker while they are in there. Seriously, best of luck. My prayers go out to you and your family.
-
Sorry to hear about this. Best of luck
-
I have been kind of out of pocket and just now saw this. I hope the surgery goes well and you get back to normal, or at least as normal as Tommy can be. If you need anything I am just a couple of hours down the road.
-
tommy..what is happening with your MRI? I know your gonna live, hoping for all the best for you. HUGS Pam ;*))
-
What a bummer Tommy, getting hurt while doing a good deed! Hope all is fixed soon! A girlfriend of my wife's was showing her neighbor how to drive her mower, Lawn tractor, last summer. Well her neighbor ran over her and messed up both ankles. Take care! Don
-
Best wishes
-
Tommy, I think what is up there in NA (Northern Alabama) is a bunch of Auburn dropouts, which is rare since the entrance requirement are so low and academic standards are unheard of, who are trying to sabotage you. Dee
-
Dang Tommy that sucks!
Hope they're able to get you fixed up. I'll keep you in my prayers!

Hey Tommy
I just found your message to me on the Char Broil site. I have been working too many 60-80 hr weeks, so I haven't had much time to real the BBQ site. Give me a call if you have questions(this is Mike Smith) from the Char Broil site.
I noticed there were very few posts on that site even when I hadn't looked at it in a while. From the monikers and avatars, it looks like everyone moved over here!

-
Well, after waiting for over a week I get to go see a real doctor on Monday. I hope he will let me know what's going on 'cause workmans comp stinks when it comes to giving out info >:(
Once i found out what's going to happen to me i'll pass it along.
Lord, I hope this ain't a preveiw of what's about to happen to the health care in this country ??? ??? ??? ???
-
Best of luck big guy.....tell the hospital you want Pork, ribs & chicken & steak if they don't agree call me & i will bring down my tailgate grill ;)
-
Well, been waiting for a long time but finaly got the date set for the knee surgery. July 18th wiil be the date, so looks like i'm on track to get fixed up!
-
Good Luck with the surgery..I have one scheduled for a week later on the 25th. They are going to fuse 7 vertebrae in my neck after putting wedges of cadaver bones between them..thinking I should be taller when this is over
This is just the preparation for back surgery 2 months later..after annual opening week pheasant hunt to South Dakota of course..
-
Good luck Tommy and Mo Huka too! I need something but don't think they can fix old age! Don
-
Good luck Tommy!
-
Tommy, Look at the doctor's diploma and make sure it ain't from the vet school at Auburn...where they have one of the best bet schools in the county. Got a great dental school also because they get to practice on the teeth of the Auburn cheerleaders who try grazing on that astroturf at the football field. Dee
