That sucks!!! I have had chronic back pain for awhile. It ain't no joke!!

I need surgery, but I had to change jobs when my plant closed so I can't be taking off for 10 weeks right now. Way too soon on the new job. Hopefully, you will have a speedy recovery!!

You know that's got me to thinking.
When I drive defensively and "potter" around and let people out of junctions and have my "chill out" head on etc etc, I seem to get in SOOOO much trouble and have soooo many near misses.
When I drive more assertively, please note here not aggressively, things just don't seem to happen like that ???
What gives?
I'm an emergency Paramedic and drive to blue light standards, having what I would say as better than average driving skills.
Al.

Hopefully it all gets cleaned up and you have a safe speedy recovery. At the very least, you have 1 month or so recoup time and when you are all healed up your truck should be too.

yeah reason i got my ram is my car i had before it was t-boned. had it fixed (took 3months at the dealer mind you) and it never drove the same again. so one day i said F*** it im getting something bigger. i had someone hit me very softly about 2 weeks ago. me and my girl were at a light talking and she goes i think someone just hit you, i was like are you sure i didnt feel anything. so i get out and look at the car behind me and the guy is driving a slammed honda accord all yelling and pissed. i had my drop hitch on and he hit that and went right through his grill and dented his hood real good. i was like you shouldnt have hot me and you wouldnt have this problem. i had no damage whatsoever. thats why i love the drop hitch haha. but it sucks when you get hit hard and does damage to your truck too.


good luck in the recovery of your and your truck. after you get your truck back inspect the whole thing over and make sure its good to go. DO NOT TAKE ANY CRAP FROM THE DEALER.
