Actually good and bad.

I'm alive, back to work, try to keep the actual labor to a minimum and let my guys take the load. I wanted that anyway, to stick with paperwork and dealing with customers, but this was hard way to get it.

My left side is numb still, doc says may never come back. The actual hit broke six ribs in the back left side, two vertebrae had a "burst" fracture whatever that is.
The kicker is the "hit" tore the nerves, muscles away from the rib cage and chest on the front left. Doctors say the bones will heal in time, the nerves, etc may not.

But I am really happy to be the way I am, very thankful to be alive. I tell ya, I look back, and shake my head. It is really a wonder to be alive, and I really enjoy my life now.
Sorry for the long response,
But thanks so much asking,,

After my car is done, (if ever) I hope to take it to some of the national events.

I'm sure we'll hook up at one of these events eventually.

The keyword here is "may". It's a miracle you survived, so perhaps this will be okay, too. Stay positive!

Have some things in the fire right now. Plus moving in April so I may miss the Nevada event. Car may not be done by then anyway, but soon we will be able to take off. And take off is the right word.

Your right, this is a second chance.
