My Ride: 2006 525XI, Jet black on Dakota beige. Premium and winter packages. I consider myself a purist and intend to keep my car absolutely stock and shiny. 2008 328I Convertible, Sapphire black on beige interior. Premium package, NAV, iPod adapter. Retired: 2002 325I, Titanium silver on black leather. Premium package. Absolutely stock and proud of it.

Anyway, just saying, I know how it feels. Be safe! Glad you're okay, bud

Now, go slap that sexy nurse where it jiggles

Ouch, brother. It hurts just reading about your injuries. Glad you came out alive and with a war story to tell. To be honest, I don't have much of a war story to tell, compared to what it could have been. Is it normal for bruised ribs to get worse before they get better? Today it hurts a little to breathe, but the rest is OK.

Funny story, I told the nurse that I needed to pee. She didn't allow me to stand because we were still waiting for x-rays. So she wheeled me into a room, gave me one of those urinal bottles and said: "Do you want help or would you prefer privacy?" I had to think hard about that.

I chose privacy. Maybe I should go back now and ask if the offer still stands and then slap where it jiggles.

Thanks for your word of encouragement. I really appreciate it.
