I'm going ok, the ribs have healed, the 3 vertebrae are showing 60% healed ( last mri 14 days ago) bruising has all gone. Saw a couple of pics of the scene and had to smile, the exfire truck was sign written "Dick heads safety training"

I imagine that seeing / posting those pics was quite confronting for you. The event must have been dreadful.

Hope your recovery continues. No shame in leaning on people and asking for help. You have been through a lot.

Funny thing is I don't find it confronting , more interesting, and a lot of pent up anger against the truck driver for being such an idiot . ( and a lot of the farkwit word)

Very lucky to get out of that judging by the looks of the car and glad you were on your own as i don't think any passengers could have survived that.

 Off to Manheim in Altona tomorrow to retrieve my property from the van. Might be a bit of a bunfight from what the insurance company told me.
