Some Jack and Coke on top of the meds should get ya just about right.....

Then again, you shouldn't be driving if you can't get in your damn vette!What are you gonna do if someone rear ends you? Take it easy....

I feel for you man...I really do. I had a spinal fusion surgery a couple of years ago and it took about 6 months to recover enough to get around semi-well. I am sorry to hear about your accident, but very glad that you are not more seriously injured.

I have lived with constant and excrutiating back pain for the past five years. Driving my Vette is one of my very few pleasures in life and I try and remember that when I am getting in and out of it!

I would reccomend that you get some physical therapy, massage, etc. Also the therma care heat wraps can be helpful. Other than that, encourage yourself with the fact that you will still be able to drive your Vette and that you are not paralyzed or worse! My prayers are with you as you recover.
