I am a happy girl. 
Kenny surprised me with a Lexus RX300 yesterday afternoon. I had no idea it was coming. It was soooo sweet.
Here are some pics- |

I know what you mean. It's been a year and a half I think since the woman got in her accident and she still has back and neck problems/pain. I can't even count the number of visits to the chiro and it just won't stop.
I probably should stop punching her in the face though. I don't think it's helping like my dad said it would.  |

That Lexus is one of the best cars on the planet! I had a sedan in that style a few years back--never, ever had it to the dealer, except for the free pick up service for maintenance.
Not one fault ever with the car----the American companies can't even compete with the flawless Lexus.
Please take off that mask--I need some more HGW Girls. The rest of you works well.

I'm insisting she goes to the doctor, just incase this pain sticks around for a while. We're not interested in making a livelyhood off this (i hate that crap), I just want us covered if this problem persists.
I was in the car and said, "He's gonna hit us!"BAM! I'm fine and no problems. After seeing CP was fine, I was more worried about the kid.

Okay, I'm sorry for any deceptions I may have created. My real name is Chuck and I am a manager at Be-Lo and that is not my real hair.
I also like long walks on the beach and quiet dinners. I voted for Clinton and listen to Barry Manilow- again, I hope all the normal people on this forum accept my apology.

CP,
Sorry about your new Princess Mobile but very glad to hear that you and Ken are OK. Go to the doctor as Ken said, just so you are covered.

CP, you probably know all this being in the medical field, but I'll voice my opinion for everyones benefit.
If you've got anything more than sore, pulled muscles, such as pain, tingling, or numbness in limbs or digits, then you're best off seeing a neurosurgeon that does back stuff. Some specialize in vascular and other non-back/neck-disk issues. But most do work with injuries to the spinal column and specifically disk herniations in this type of accident.
They're do the appropriate type of MRIs and can see specifically what kind of damage there is to the the spinal canal and, if they're any good, can assess whether you can get by with steriodal packs to manage inflamation, traction to aid in repositioning of disks, and even surgery to trim disks that are pooching into the spinal canal, or removal and fusing if the damage is too great.
Of course, if the injury is minor, a good chiropracter who really understands the nervous system can treat you with physical therapy to help get a disk reseated. And there are good family practice docs that can do this too. But I think you're better off going to a neurosurgeon. They, like many other surgical specialists, are usually very proficient at reading the radiology films themselves, whereas a general practitioner is going to be relying on inferior [not bad, but not great] reports from radiology services that are often off-shore subcontracted.
That being said, these docs see TONS of disability related cases. So if you do go to see one for an accident related injury, try not to be whiny about it. They'll treat you, but they get really sick of dealing with the lazy whiny blame-other victims that plague our society.
DISCLAIMER: I've got a neurosurgeon in the family. I'm not trying to drum up business. I'm just trying to point out the added services they may provide over other types of health care providers. And having had some disk issues in my neck, having access to the knowledge and expertise of a neurosurgeon versus the info provided by general practitioners has paid off greatly for me.

Thanks GLBL and everyone
I love it. I was driving it around last night and it has those cool white headlights. It is just perfect for me- don't get me wrong, love driving my H2- wheeling it, RAAARRRRing down the streets, but this thing was tailormade for me.
The steering wheel is so soft- it feels like butter- really. It is really tight but not sensitive so it just kind of knows where I want to go with out effort. It really sticks to the road and it is so quiet. It makes me want to drive like an old lady- no rush, just pimpin' slow.
It is small so it is perfect for me. It is a lot nicer than I expected, I just thought they were cute and would be easier to park.
Kenny is so sweet. Having a car surprise in your driveway for no reason > than all. |

Don't see a neurosurgeon. All they want to do is cut. See a neurologist first and then get a referral to surgeon, if needed.
