Get Well Post for Rexruby
I talked with John today and he told me about a little run it he had with a oversize mirror this past Tuesday.
In the process of dismounting it from a wall the F*#%*# broke in-half and sliced his arm up pretty good. Seems it cut a few nerves but it didn't get the bone and he should be back in shape shortly.
Just wanted to say get well soon!!!!!!!!

Hey John, hope you get better soon, in the mean time, if you need me to exercise the Z for you, I'll sacrifice my weekend to drive it around for you.

Thanks Will and everyone else
Sometimes we think we are indestructable. I had no idea that the mirror would split like that. When it split the top part came down on the underside of my right forearm, severing an artery and 2 nerves, creating a horseshoe shape filet on my arm. Thank God someone was home to help me and keep pressure on it. Once in the ER I underwent surgery by an Orthopaedic for 2 hours. Unbeleveabily I have very little pain probably due to severing the nerves. Fortunately the nerves will grow back in 6 - 10 months. The doc said I can shift so no automatic is in my future and MOJO thanks for the offer but I can still drive the Z!
ANYONE removing a mirror should have a glass company come in to do it!
