It was the saddest day in my FSJ life and Em and I are grateful you and Flint are ok.

Indeed. I cried the first time I read this. It was the saddest day in my FSJ life too. We are forever grateful we are ok also!

The body damage/blown out broken glass and blood stains....it really is a miracle you two walked away from this, no more injured than you were. If you look closely at the 1st pic you can see a FSJ angel on the roof rack.

She definitely stayed with ya'all during the tumble.

YES, we were protected by amazing grace.

In my mind, I sometimes imagine what amazing grace would paint as a self portrait. I do believe it would look something like the sunrise this morning.

Wow. I have been under a rock. Krista and Flint, glad you are both alright and that Luna made it home. Poor Phoebe.
Awesome sunrise Flint.

We got MRI results finally = torn ACL. Got appt with the best ortho guy in the region on Jan 4. He will be able to give us details. Looks like I wear this knee brace for a while. And now for something totally different... If you have a Full Size Jeep, go outside and hug it now. It could save your life some day.

Haven't been on in awhile and just saw this thread! Very glad you guys are all ok. Sorry to see the vehicle you have worked on so much get crunched.

Now you need a parrot, a 3 cornered hat and a cane so you can limp around work and go "Aye Matey and AARGH".

Dang Flint, I got so many smart alleck comments floating in my head but I just can't post them because I'm so dern glad you and Krista and the dogs are ok. Jimminy Jumping Jack Christmas! Don't do that no more. Keep the rubber side facing dirt, and keep your people juice on your insides where it belongs!

And don't be too quick to chop up that body...looks like all the parts I need are still there...TO BUILD THE CHEROWAGLADABEGO!

We are counting on Matt to pull this together.

Thanks! We are very fortunate it was not worse.

I called to get some details on the knee damage. There is a partial tear in the ACL, a longitudinal tear of the lateral cartilage meniscus, thickness defects in other cartilage I can't remember the name of and an incidental discovery of a small cyst in the joint. The cyst is probably from previous injury/repair from 19 years ago. Until a plan is established, I need to go easy on it and wear the brace.

Something else I have almost mentioned a few times, but have held back. Because of this event, Krista and I have truly realized that we have some great friends who care about us through this cyber connection. We have met many great people through the Ouray Invasions and other gatherings of FSJers. There are many more on the forum we have yet to meet. So, we have felt humbled in this realization.

Another thing. To Everyone who was on the trail ride that day... Not only do I thank you for the actions taken immediately in and throughout the crisis, but I also feel for the emotions that were stirred up in you all as you responded. If it had been me in response, my head have been rocked.

Oh yeah, that ride out to the ER in Ralph's GW, boy was it fast! I think we only hit about every third or fourth bump in the trail.

Thank You All

Blessed be the righteous...

Having followed Ralph on the trail I am not surprised!

Today I had my 4th set of Xrays done on the right side ribs at the chiropractor office and finally got a view of a clean break in the right rib on T11 about 1.5" from the vertebra. Looks like 3 months for healing. The spine above T11 is also S shaped from the injury.

It ONLY took a month to get a clear diagnosis.

This whole thing has just been crazy people. I think I should just hibernate this winter to heal.

[bigun]

OUCH!!!! While I have never broken a rib I have cracked a few and I can tell you they ain't no fun. Sounds like you need to have Krista put you on the rack and straighten every thing out!
