Hi all,
I haven't been around much lately. I had car accident on 1/31. No, not in the Vette, in my Ford. The car's not too bad but I have 4 fractures in my lower spine. I'm not up and around a whole lot these days and on the net even less but just wanted to check in and let you know that you hadn't gotten rid of me... just granted a hiatus...
So far they're just saying that it's going to take time.
No Vette for quite a while though

Glad to hear you're getting better. Listen to the Docs and take your time.
I went through some serious stuff about a year and a half ago so I can relate to the healing-up thing.

I hope you are up and about before the weather breaks and you'll be out enjoying the vette when it does.
