Title: I'm back!!! Hit head on by a drunk driver.
Post by: SamoanIrishman on September 12, 2007, 10:27:13 AM: Buddy and I (passenger) was cruising down a street downtown at about 35mph and a drunk swerves in our lane, friend tried to avoid it but the drunk ended up hitting our truck with his truck on my corner and proceeded to slide down my side of the truck causing my head to hit his hood.

Air bags (front only) did deploy I got 2 facial burns from them..healed in a week, no scar. Two dislocated shoulders (minor..done it 7x before and can manually do it if I relax enough..yes I have an MRI scheduled and know I need surgery..eventually), 1 minor fracture to one rib, minor bicep tear and both knees were bruised and skinned.

Funny thing is...it's been two weeks and I just barely am feeling the headache or shoulder pain anymore. Both knees are 100% and my rib only hurts if I cough hard or stretch hard.

I've worked out the last two days and found that I kept most my strength, body fat levels are the same and I seemed to have healed so fast my doctor wanted to know what my diet and supps where.

He stated that there recently was a study that surgery patients given Whey protein at a higher dosage than standardly required daily for two weeks showed 40% faster healing...any heard of this? Think that is why I healed so fast?

I feel almost 100%...just thankful my wife and / or kids weren't with me or I would have dragged his unconscious ass out of his car and beat him severely.

Post by: SamoanIrishman on September 19, 2007, 06:55:42 AM: I think all of us, especially when in the young 20's had and instant or two where we drove home thinking we're ok and then waking up the next day thinking "I don't remember driving home, that we f**king stupid" type moments...me included. But I swear after the time where I didn't remember driving home, I never did it again.

This guy is a habitual drunk driver and is old enough (40's) to know better. Not that there's ever an excuse regardless of age.
