[QUOTE="Star*, post: 406320, member: 4964"] My sister wanted to send her thanks and amazement that my friends were so involved in her life. (Told you we are not so close) However - she was taken to tears and truely touched that so many people were praying for her and my niece and said to extend her thanks and appreciation for your kindness even though you don't know her or her daughter. She was very touched and wanted you to know that she sent her thanks. As far as the car? Ahhhhhh yes, well - (exhale) I have been in seven crashes by drunk drivers hitting me and two other wrecks not alcohol related where I was not at fault. FLYPAPER for freaks. Told you. I've rolled, spun, had to be cut out of cars, et al. Not fun. I could not go to the car and when offered pictures did not immediately look. It took a while to say "Okay." And only at my nieces urging. After I saw it? Made me want to run out and buy a lottery ticket, rub it on the car or something. I've been a Ford person nearly 20 years. I belive I shall continue - even the 'stolen' car (ahem) is a Ford. (sigh) oh that's right - 2010 purchase - we are in 2011 luck right? Right. As far as the artery? It is something - and Marg please forgive me I am no medical especial and lack even rudimentary speaking skills, so bear with me, but in the back of a vertebra there are arteries (okay you got me there) and apparently this one artery was crushed or pinched. It wasn't life threatening, but damaged enough that they needed to un-pinch (oh I could see the look on my sisters face too when she said un-pinch) it. Anyway they took cadavar, cadaver,(sp) -you say cadavar, I say dead person......bone and fused it to a vertebra or vertebrae (sp again) in her neck then they took rods or plates and I'm guessing screwed them into the other two or three bones and fused them to the other one, and voila (that's my word not hers) neck better. Believe me - I got lost after 'my incision' to the ------actually?
