My "little" stack!

redbeard · 28-01-2009, 02:20 PM

Gday all.
Had this little step off in August 01.
The Landy pilot drove from the bush onto the freeway and I went through it at 100kph!
End result was I had over 60 breaks,spent over 9months in hospital with 2 years off work!
The old ticker was jumpstarted on 4 seperate occasions and my right leg is still 70mm shorter than the left!
I'll see if I can track down some pics of the xrays and the hardware that held me together for a couple of years!

Cheers,Mick

Dasmn champ, thats a huge stack, good to see your still kickin and laughing about it.

Had a mate with the same sort of uinjuries as you, was in hospitial for 1 1/2 years, he still is in a fair bit of pain, but like you he grins and bears it and doesnt worry too much about the pain.

Makes you realise that your own problems arent that bad when you think about it...
