Awesome stuff, as always, Gypsy! You are a hero to this forum and I'm sure to others out there! Stay safe and alive!

"Doctors had their work cut out for them". No pun intended, right? LOL.

Of course pun intended. If they can't keep up they can go home!

The one in 2000 was getting clipped by a dually & twisted my leg backwards. Would have torn it off mid-shin without good boots. Again... Hard to kill.

Gypsy...you are one person here that I have the most admiration and respect for. If your story can't inspire others, then they're lost. I wish I could meet you!
