PY member 77 trashcan was in a bad auto accident
 
Keep Jeff (77 trashcan here on PY) in your prayers. If you haven’t noticed, he hasn’t been able to post here lately, and it is because he was in a bad car accident earlier in July. Another car rear ended him at high speeds (60+) while he was at work. He fractured 2 vertebra in his back very badly. I think it was C6 and C4, he is lucky he wasn’t paralyzed from the accident. Quite frankly, he was lucky to survive the accident at all. It’s by God’s grace he is still here, and he is going to need some more grace to recover. He spent a few weeks in the hospital. Hopefully soon he is well enough he can give his own updates and go home soon. But right now he is at a rehab center trying to recover, and is really not able to give updates on his progress..

Jeff has always been very gracious supporting others here in the lobby that are going thru some tuff times. Not to mention his helpful efforts in the other forum sections. He has his own tuff times right now. Keep him in your thoughts and prayers. I am sure he would appreciate it.

I think the rehab facility he is at is a pretty top notch place. He seems to be in good spirits too.

Surgeon said you will be ok taketherapy. No operation. Therapist used weights pulling on my legs. Worked took about month of therpy.

fyrffytr1 08-13-2022 02:16 PM

Prayers sent. I kinda know what he is going through. I had to have two vertebrae in my neck fused after being hit by a distracted driver about 9 years ago.

That's unfortunate. Hope he recovers completely and soon.

Lightfoot 08-13-2022 09:09 PM

Hate to hear that. Getting rear ended has become my worst fear while driving, for the last decade.
Praying for healing mercies and comfortable bed rest for Jeff.

Wishing Jeff a full and speedy recovery. I’ve experienced life altering injuries as a passenger in a fatal wreck. You learn to roll with the punches and move forward. Hopefully Jeff can do the same. Get well soon!

Gary H 08-13-2022 10:03 PM

Hoping you recover from your injury quicker than Arnie Bestwick’s car in the 1/4 mile! Yikes, rear ended badly, a reminder not to text and drive folks. Drive safe.

This is terrible. Prayers for my buddy I never met ... May God please bless his physical and mental healing from this accident in Jesus name, Amen

77 TRASHCAN 08-20-2022 08:08 AM

Thanks again for great friends, here, and your prayers!!! I have been in the hospital now, for one month and one day. My C6 and T6 vertebrae were both fractured. The first doctor that examined me, told me it was a true miracle that I was in the condition that I was. I stepped out of the 2020 suburban that I had been driving, onto the lowered stretcher to be transported.

I had been test driving the suburban after repairing a tire. I was in the inside lane of a 35 MPH street waiting to turn onto the street headed back to the shop (only about 100 feet from my h[use, I live VERY close to my house). Just 3 a mall city blocks south of Route 66.

Google intersection of Watts street and Country Club road. El Reno, Oklahoma)..

I saw a flash in my rear view mirror of a Dodge Durango doing around 60-70 MPH, thinking,, what the....?

I did not loose consciousness, started praying right after impact, while dialing 911. Noticed smoke in steering wheel area. Got the door opened, thankfully, praying for that!! ( AIR BAGS DO NOT EMPLOY IN A REAR END IMPACT, ANYONE KNOW WHY? TOV.???)

Suburban was rolling southward, slower than a walk, came to a stop against the curb. I then call my boss, after I called 911.

The ambulance was at the scene in about 2.minutes or so. Thay asked me if I could stand, I said, yes they helped me take one step to the stretcher. Then to Yukon. Oklahoma hospital. They checked me over.

Half-Inch Stud 08-20-2022 08:21 AM

wow. Hope with prayer that you got good hospital care, and good back strength.

Brewster 08-20-2022 08:21 AM

Wow, just reading gives you the chills. Your here for a reason Jeff and God aint done with you yet. Keep faith and grow stronger with each day. Stay strong!
