Wow Vansnxtweek, just wow.
Glad you both are still with us even if you have some healing to do.
Here's hoping for a speedy and full recovery for you both.

Wishing you both a quick recovery. I broke my back a year and a half ago and was saved from permanent paralysis by a spinal fusion as well. Still a lot of numbness and weakness in my legs but it sounds like your spinal cord was thankfully not pinched or cut. Life can change in the blink of an eye, and glad to hear you both are safe!

Jeeze, ejection thru the sunroof and seeing the shape of that steering wheel, amazing cheat of death for you guys no doubt. Best regards on recovery.
