A day. It seems that when someone makes a left turn in front of you and then floors their car to get by you before you hit them at 45 MPH but they are unsuccessful & you hit them, the forces twisting your body (even though you tried the breaks & turning in the direction that they were going in the nanoseconds that you had before impact) are not good for you.Why would doctors fuse your vertebrae together? How long where you in surgery for this?
My WIFE's (I had gone to fuel it up so that it would be full went I went to pick her up at the airport after she had been over seas for 18 months) 2012 Lexus that we had imported from Guam (where she had purchased it new [which only had 48,000 miles on it at the time of it's destruction] {which happened March 25, 2023}).
My neck is now fine.
But tendons were torn, muscles were torn from their mounting points and I still cannot walk a 1/4 mile (or be on the computer a 1/2 hour) without going into excruciating pain.
I am about 60 percent better than right after the accident and through physical therapy, masseuse, walking & doing stretching exercises in the 5 feet lane at the pool in the gym every few days, I still have not been able to work or mow my own lawn (& I have a 50" riding mower).
It's a slow, slow process for something that happened so quickly. But, every 3 or 4 weeks, it seems that something gets back to were it should be & I move a bit more freely & am in less pain.
