Anyways,, thanks again all. i really needed t he pick me up this morning too,, the last surgery hasnt ben real easy to bounce back from,, was getting kinda ready to tell drs to sew it back up even,, lol,, but you guysa reminding me there is a reason. i foiund the boards quiet by accident a while back while we were looking fort refund info as ew were trying todecide to t ry and make the trip to wdw or not,, we h ad booked a week in july back in january when drs thought we would be done by now.. we had to cancel that trip,, but i know i'll get back down in a year ort 2,, just gotta get the face back on right first..lol...thanks all.

Thank you for sharing your story Froggy. I always buckle up but I hope that by reading your story it will persuade others to always use their seat belt.

I hope all goes well with future surgeries.
 
Thanks,, we know at least three more MAJOR operations are coming, right now they have a tissue expander ( fancy water balloon) inserted under my face to stretch it enough to get muscles and skin to move into place to expand whats being used to build eyelids,, i'm starting to think that eye lids are like interstate highway,, once you start working on them you never get to stop..lol As for the sense of humor,, its better to laugh than to cry,, after 13 trips to the o r in 8 months, there is a lot to laugh about. We lost track of stitches at 475,,, lost track of the staples after 55. We really not sure how many now. we know my fore head as had this one scar line cut open 5 times now,, at least they keep doing scar reduction each time they open it,,, theres one spot on that scar that has not been healed completely since the wreck,, every time it gets close they open it back up. Too much to try and tell on here anyway,,lol,, i really should drop over and build all this into a geocities page huh..lol...ok nuff rant for now.. thanks again,, Froggy
 
Such a tragedy. Your are very inspiring, Froggy. I wish you the best in your future surgeries.
 
Hope we meet up some day, Froggy, you have a great sense of humor, in spite of some lemons thrown your way. Neat.

Froggy, You truly are an inspiration. I think it's wonderful that you plan on using your tragedy to get the point across to others. I wear my seat belt no matter what and always will.

Thank you so much for sharing your story and good luck through all of this.

Was actually kidding dan, but am considering maybe toward end of summer early fall maybe trying to put together a cpl meets here in arkansas,, One for our yahoo chat friends and maybe i can pull off one for disers as well.. am goin to try and get info on places in hot springs, the original Gangsters resort of the south...lol.. really al capone had several places there, and natural thermal springs lovely mountains beuatiful scenery,, etc, even a coaster or 2,, ( no big mice though) and see what i can do,, if nothing else we could all always just storm the area state parks and camp grounds..or just take over downtown resort hotels,,lol can just picture a disney fest on central avenue amongst the bikers and the other tourist traps ( down town hot springs is ussually site of several bike runs every year). ya know last summer there was even a lime green amphibian bus tour up there... and the troly trim was green too... hmmmmmmmm we'll have to see, may already be dis folks in town..lol.. we'll see how the surgery and stuff work s out and set up something..lol.. later
 
Hey Froggy, just wanted to say that I've read your story and I am sorry for all that has happened to you. Sounds like God has big plans for you though. ::yes::
Am actually a native Arkansan myself...noticed you are from Fordyce. One of my good friends from college was from there, only a few years younger than you, but I won't put her name on the internet for all to see. lol
Anyway, big hugs to you. I'll say a prayer for you.
