Default re spineys worst fear

Gary,
You are so incredibly right about "worst fear" ... for a long time I hardly drove as I was so fearful of being rear ended .. that was mostly when my back was much worse pain wise. However I have given up freeway driving (where that is probably less likely to happen)~ anyway I'm so sorry to read this has happened and put you back into a world of hurt! That's awful!!!!! And also sorry to read about your car tho way more so you!!!! Hope you'll heal well w/no invasive intervention... please keep us posted.
