It's always bad to hear about someone hurt in a car crash and even worse when it's one of our members.

Hope you make a full recovery Darrell.

Hey ho guys.

Thanks for this, it is appreciated.

Will have to keep it short as typing one handed sucks.

quick update.

I managed to spin the big old 300 E class bus and go backwards into the trees. For this reason it was my side that took the brunt of the impact. Took the brgade 2 1/2 to cut me out. Think there was half the force of 2 counties there. Seemed like a lot anyway.

The injuries are.

Broken left ankle, dslocated and fractured left shoulder, boken nose, craked a couple of ribs, broke my right leg just above the ankle abd also just below the knee, fractured and dislocated my right hip. The worst bit though was a slight tear in my lower intestine which had to fixed before all rest could be.

I have now been operated on twice to repair legs and hip. Good news is that it was my bad hip that i injured so i have probably jumped the que for a replacement by 20 years.

Have finally got a laptop to use from work so i will be able o come on more often.

Cheers again guys.

Darrell

Thanks for the update mate. I am pleased to hear that all is progressing and I really hope you are up and about as soon as is realistic.

I know from threads related to damaging cars that there is one suggestion that always seems to come up so.....

Any plans for any upgrades during the repairs.

All the best buddy,
Martin
