Give your loved ones a hug
bjrogg:
Thanks Andy. You can give Sherl and Wyat a hug for me to. Safe travels to you and yours.
Bjrogg
I think I got the names right. Was great meeting you all at Marshall.
Pappy:
Glad all is well, cars can be replaced but not love ones. I tell Miss Joanie everyday, stay alert it can happen in the blink of an eye. :)

Glad it was no major injuries. I've suffered broken ribs on more than one occasion and I feel for her pain. Wish I could tell you something thst helps, but there's not much. Sometimes a compression bandage helps a little and sometimes ice. Just keep her away from anyone with a cold or flu for a while.
First time I broke a rib I caught a cold and every sneeze or cough was like being punched by a heavy weight boxer. You feel the cough come on, and you just brace yourself for another round of torture. But the alternative is holding backnthe coughs and getting pneumonia. My doctor didn't want to give me any narcotic pain meds and the OTC stuff wasn't cutting it. My wife was recovering from her breast cancer surgery and had a big bottle of them. So I sent doc a pic and told her one way or another I was getting pain relief, we could do it under her supervision, or I could go it alone. There was a paper script waiting for me st the front counter 30 mins later. I have a pretty high pain threshold, but broken ribs with a cold was up there with my kidney stone on the pain scale.
bjrogg:
Yes Pappy so true.
Dieselchesse anyone who knows my wife, knows she loves to laugh. Once you get her started she can't stop. Really, seriously, she loves to laugh. Not so much right now.
I will tell her to avoid anyone with a cough.

Can't believe I'm only just seeing this BJ. I'm so glad your loved ones are okay. I worry about mine all the time, especially at this time of year. I'm gonna take extra care out there on the roads and give extra hugs and kisses each morning after reading this. Thank you :)
