[Shotimes] Wrecked the SHO!

[Donald Mallinson]

Timothy,

some on the list have heard this before, and I hope they 
don't mind me posting it again.

Get your neck looked at ASAP by a doctor and keep having it 
checked for quite a while.

I was in a roll0ver accident almost 30 years ago.  At the 
time, I wasn't hurt, but my neck was a "little sore" and 
that went away in a day.

Now 30 years later (actually discovered the problem about 
12-15 years later) I can't turn my neck more than about 60 
degrees.  Most people should be able to go 110 degrees or 
more.  I have two fused vertibre in my neck from that bit or 
soreness so long ago.  If I had known to have it looked 
after, I might have been able to do exercises or get 
treatment to prevent the loss of motion.  I can function, 
but I risk a broken neck from a minor accident now, one 
doctor told me I should wear a neck brace EVERYWHERE I go to 
prevent that, but I can't live that way.

Get it checked.

Glad you and the car weren't hurt more.  Now get some real 
winter tires and slow down!  :)
