Hi All:

Just spotted this. I have been lurking a bit here and there but not really posting much lately.

It's not as bad as it sounds. At the same time as people were on here posting about celebrating St. Patrick's Day, I was over in Northern Ireland visiting a friend. On the way from Belfast Airport to my friend's house near Strangford Lough, her car was hit at high speed by a big white van, driven by someone who was over 3 x the legal limit (so drunk he had been kicked out of the pub, in fact). He came out of nowhere, driving at about 40 mph down a one-way street (the wrong way) and slammed into my side of the car. Luckily, he hit the engine compartment, which was completely smashed to pieces, otherwise it could have been a different story.

Anyway, long story short, after being strapped up and taken in an ambulance all the way back to Belfast to A&E (what an experience that was - welcome to NHS Northern Ireland style), I was discharged the next day and have been recovering since. No major broken bones (except a few cracked ribs), just what you'd expect from a high-speed collision (neck, chest, ribs, head, etc. felt like they'd been kicked by a horse). The main thing is that after 4 weeks I still get splitting headaches most of the time and get a right crick in the neck if I sit at a computer for too long. Few other things but thankfully my good looks weren't damaged - thank goodness the 13-year old air bags and seat belts in her car worked. ;)

Anyway, I was a bit surprised to see this thread but appreciate all the kind comments. I'm back at work and will try to post a bit more on here again once I can dig myself out from the huge backlog of emails!

Re: Get well soon Dunroving...
 

What an awful experience - hope you feel better soon and the headaches subside.

Re: Get well soon Dunroving...
 

Oh goodness, dunroving, that sounds awful! Glad you are recovering but it is obviously going to take time. Take care.

Re: Get well soon Dunroving...
 

Sorry to hear about the mishap, hope you continue to mend. I was going to suggest McCallan single malt is very good for aches and pains, recommended to me by a barman in an Edinburgh hotel. But as you are getting headaches perhaps not.

Re: Get well soon Dunroving...
 

Hope you mend quickly, Dunroving! Including your poor head--headaches are awful! Get lots of rest (if possible)....

Re: Get well soon Dunroving...
 

Oh dear, just saw this posting about your accident. Glad you are on the mend and hope the headaches sort themselves out. Speedy recovery!

Re: Get well soon Dunroving...
 

Happy to hear it was not as bad as we were imagining. Best wishes for your continued recovery.

Re: Get well soon Dunroving...
 

Hoping you are well on your way to recovery! Best wishes.

Re: Get well soon Dunroving...
 

Good to hear from you Dunroving. Sorry to hear you are not 100% yet but :fingerscrossed: that the pesky headaches go away very soon.

Re: Get well soon Dunroving...
 

I just heard about your accident and then fortunately saw your update before I really started to worry. It sounds like a terrible experience but I am so glad that you're mainly OK. Hopefully the headaches will fade with time. Fingers crossed anyway x

Re: Get well soon Dunroving...
 

Dunroving, you are very lucky. I can't believe yours was also in Northern Ireland. Were you taken to the Royal Victoria A&E? That's where I was taken. My immediate care was top notch with a broken neck, shattered shoulder blade and four broken ribs. CT scans and multiple X-rays. It was the after care at the fracture clinic, that was so awful. I was in a wheelchair with a neck brace, sling and had to wait as long as four hours past appt time to see a physician. Always registrars, rarely consultants. This was part of my reason for coming back here for a few months.
Take good care of yourself.

Re: Get well soon Dunroving...
 

Yep I'm just glad to know you are okay. only realized few days back you had not been on board for a while. Look after yourself.

Re: Get well soon Dunroving...
 

Glad you are on the mend, hope the drunk twat driving the van gets what he deserves!

Re: Get well soon Dunroving...
 

:goodpost:

Couldn't have put it better myself.

Re: Get well soon Dunroving...
 

Wishing you a speedy recovery. I once experienced a similar impact, and as you say, if it were direct to the passenger area, it would be a different story.

Re: Get well soon Dunroving...
 

Oh dunroving what a terrible experience, I do hope you heal completely, but Im thinking that you may have problems with your headaches, well you, and your friend who was driving the car have an open and shut case for suing the drunk who caused this accident, I hope you retain the services of a good lawyer, you deserve serious compensation for your injuries, how bad was your friend hurt?
Take care of yourself,

Re: Get well soon Dunroving...
 

Sorry to hear about your accident Dunrovin but glad you are recovering.

Hope that jerk gets whats coming to him. What a bloody idiot!

Re: Get well soon Dunroving...
 

How did your friend do in the accident. I think some nice warm weather will help a lot and once your body starts to heal your headaches hopefully will disappear. As you are back to work it seems you are much better....

Re: Get well soon Dunroving...
 

Hope you feel 100 percent soon - up to and including plowing through all the email!

Re: Get well soon Dunroving...
 

Good to hear you are recovering. Take care, and very best wishes. Rosie
