I received an email from Esso (Jim) this morning. He was involved in a very serious car accident last night. It was a head on collision. Jim's car is totaled. He sustained a fractured sternum, lacerated spleen, the doctor's suspect heart damage and internal bleeding.

Jim is one of the most unselfish, generous, good hearted men I have ever met. I think the world of him.

Please think healing thoughts or prayers of a speedy recovery for him.

I've been absent so I was late getting the news but, thank you, chris for alerting us (and me) about the accident..

And, Jim, having re-broken the same poorly knitted rib three more times in twenty years and having it nick my lung and result in a nasty infection the last time, I can only sympathize with what must be considerably more discomfort than I endured. (It required surgery to clean out the messy 4-inch thick infection hanging on my lung and finally repair the rib)

The worst part was waking up and discovering that a balloon catheter was inserted after I went under. (There were only women in the super chilly OR!)

But, seriously Jim, I have two things to recommend; OXYCONTIN and COD LIVER OIL. The injury to your sternum will require heap big medicine so you can sleep, and the CLO will greatly minimize the constipation that narcotics often cause.

The new (brand med) OXYCONTIN contains something to minimize off label abuse, i.e., crushing and shooting and/or snorting and I've been told that some people have complained about the pills passing through without even dissolving. When I took the original compound they were the most effective oral med and you could have cut my head off with a chainsaw without me feeling much. And, they ain't cheap even with prescription coverage, but at least try them if you require serious amelioration of any pain.

Please don't be afraid to ask your doctor for what you want. All MDs are so gun shy these days (thanks to the FEDs who would rather shoot pain patients than permit the freedom to self medicate) that you'll end up seriously under-medicated (with 5 mg Percocet) if you don't assert your need for relief.

Managing our health in general and moderate to severe long term pain in particular is a partnership and there's no reason for anyone to suffer when relief is readily available. (We aren't sheep and we don't seek treatment from Vets)

If the med you have ain't makin' it then call the doctor immediately! Don't wait until it's time for a refill.

I am so sorry to learn of your accident and despite the fact that it could have been worse, it's not unusual for soft tissue injuries (i.e., neck and back muscles) to manifest days or even weeks after the initial trauma. And your sternum injury may granulate fairly slow and not without regular reminders not to roll over,, roll your shoulders forward, breathe, etc.,.

I'll feel better if I know that you or better yet an assertive advocate is seeing to your needs. And, you may want to use a driver and protect yourself with a large, firm pillow when riding shotgun in the unlikely event of another airbag deployment.

Please take care.

Please think healing thoughts and pray for Jim. He wrote earlier to let me know that his condition seems to be worsening. He's scheduled an emergency appointment with his physician for morning.

I just spoke to Jim. The good news is that the internal bleeding seems to have ceased. His red blood cell count has stabilized. The not so good news is that he does have a concussion. His doctor is sending him for brain and spinal MRIs next week.

All in all, Jim sounded much better and more positive this morning.

Keeping him in my heart and prayers. Recover swiftly Esso. And remember, God loves you :)

Maybe, but Odin sure seems to be pissed off at me.

I swear this is true.

This last Halloween about 11:00 PM some young lady ran through my neighborhood screaming ODIN repeatedly at the top of her lungs. As near as I could tell, it went on for about 15 - 20 minutes.

It had not happened before or since.

Any thoughts?
