[Scrolling Steve]

[barb.j.enders]

[ChelCass]

OMG, so sorry to hear this.  Thankful it is just a fracture, you could have been crushed. Thoughts and prayers for you.

[JimErn]

Makes me cringe just thinking about it, you are in our prayers

[LarryEA]

Ouch... I said a prayer for healing and recovery.

[oldhudson]

Get better fast, we'll miss your creative projects.

[Foxfold]

OMG,  take care Dan, all our thoughts are with you

[dgman]

Take it easy and slow Dan! Do you need a good lawyer?

[Scrappile]

Sorry to read of you accident.  Take care, go slow and prayers are sent.

[bcdennis]

Prayers for a quick and complete recovery.

[Jim McDonald]

I worry about that EVERY time I jump on my tow motor.  Even though it is a small shop and I think I have checked everything, someone could walk behind me and lead to the same issue you are having.

Best wishes for a full and complete recovery.  In the meantime, listen to the docs and therapists. (Maybe even take some time to do design work)

Dan, so sorry to hear of this horrible accident that has caused you such pain and worse.  Fractured pelvis in 4 places!  Ouch!  I will continue to say prayers for your recovery.  Since it happened at work, make sure that you do all you need to have Worker's Comp Insurance paying.  I will miss seeing your creative projects and what you are cooking while you are on the mend.  I pray that you mend quickly and without lingering issues.

[RabidAlien]

Ouch.

 

Prayers said.

[wombatie]

Oh that is awful, so glad its only fractured.  Hope you are out of hospital soon and they have given you good med's for the pain.  You are in our thoughts.

Prayers for a speedy and semi painless recovery. I think back to some of the crap that I have done over the years on Fork lifts and other equipment. Just goes to prove my philosophy on life:  GOD WATCHES OVER FOOLS AND LITTLE CHILDREN.

[Tomanydogs]

Sorry to hear this Dan. I’ll be thinking about you. 

[Sycamore67]

Sorry to hear about the accident.  I hope that you heal quickly and completely and are not in too much pain.  

Take Care

[Dan]

Prayers on the way. Take care and heal. 

[Gordster]

Wow Dan,sorry to hear...sounds very painful...take care

[smitty0312]

Update......1st of all thank you for all the prayers & get well wishes....its 3:00 am  Saturday morning & still in the hospital......my right leg is useless right now, can’t lift it any & pain is excruciating in the groin/pelvic area when I try to move in bed, sit up or try to walk with a walker.......thank god for pain meds.....doc said I won’t be able to put any weight on my right leg for 4 weeks.....bp drops from time to time.....I may get to go home today.....how life can change in the blink of an eye.....I’m a very busy person & to have it come to a complete stop will be a challenge.....

You must be one tough cookie to have survived such a drastic situation!!! I,LL bet your whole life flashed thru your mind as the life or death situation was happening. Looks like you won the fight between the two metal objects. Looks like the laptop is eeeegoing to be your best friend for quite awhile now.life can change in the blink of an eye . Keep us posted on your goings one. Glad it was,not worse.

Sorry about you accident prayed for you!

[meflick]

Dan, thanks for the update. Again, I am so sorry to hear of this horrible accident and the pain that you are in and how long you will be laid up. Please know we are all praying for you daily and hope that your recovery goes smoothly for you. My husband is like you, having to be laid up unable to move would drive him crazy too. I hope that you can find things to do to occupy your mind. Keep that computer or phone, or iPad close and visit here and keep us up to date. Use it to find things online, look for projects to do when you are better, videos of projects and plans you can learn, etc.
