I was driving my patrol car down the road and some moron decided to change lanes...He wanted the one I was in. He sideswiped the drivers side and pushed me into a fire hydrant. I had to crawl out the passenger side as the other guys car was lodged on the drivers side of my car.
While making my escape my right knee popped and started to burn. Then the swelling started. The folks at the ER immobilized it and sent me home. I follow up at my physician tomorrow.
It could have been worse...
Good grief, Ken. Glad to hear you're relatively unscathed.
Hope you recover soon Ken, prayers your way tonight bro.

Yep. Glad to hear you're relatively ok. Thoughts and prayers your way.
Will
Prayers are with you brother.
Ken, glad to know you are OK in the grand scheme of things. Prayers and well wishes sent to you for a safe and fast recovery.
Sounds like a day on the roads in AZ.
Glad to hear your ok and hope for a speedy recovery.
OUCH:smiley19:
sounds like the driving around here. "nothing like playing bumper cars with real cars"
Ouch bro! I'm glad to read your ok and at home. Prayers sent your way!

Sorrry to hear! I thought we had all the idiot drivers in FL. Guess not..
Thats got to hurt.....did you get to write the ticket?
I hope you recover quickly and am glad to hear you weren't hurt any worse than you were. Bed rest with some of your favorite cigars? :smiley37:
Hope it's not an ac or mcl problem. Driving like an idiot is one thing, but to do it with a police car on the road, that's an whole other level of stupid.
Nope...I was too busy limping around in the 95 degree heat. :smiley2:Quote:

I recommend as many as you want of good cigars and something from the top shelf.

I'm glad you ok. Hope the knee doesn't need a knife to fix it.
I say write the guy up. Besides, he's gotta be expecting it seeing he ran a cop off the road.
Sorry to hear about this. I've had lots of knee problems in my younger years and was more active. It's something you don't think about it until it happens. Hope all ends up okay.
Maybe the other driver was distracted by the delicious smell of that acid you were smoking:smiley2:
Best wishes for a speedy recovery! I had the knee give me some issues a while back and know what a bummer it is.
Hey Sarge, glad to hear you're "relatively" unhurt; hope you're back on the job soon.
Knee injuries hurt like a bitch!! Glad to hear that's the worst of it. I second DG's prescription :smiley20:

Just last weekend I was watching an episode of Horsepower TV on the Spike channel. They were featuring a Roush Ford Mustang converstion and ended up testing it at the Jackson, TN PD driving/pursuit training course. I saw some shenanigan's going on and I hope that's not how you were trained... :smiley2:
...but seriously - you know that means you cannot have cigars for a while because it will affect the healing process. That is - as long as you're not trying to gold-brick this injury... :smiley15:
Take care of yourself, Ken. :smiley20:
Well things developed a bit more. I got up this morning and my head and neck hurt like hell. I went to the doc. She x-rayed my neck and head. In her exact words she told me "my neck looked like shit". She also said I had a hemotoma on top of my head. Just got back from a MRI for that. Follow up with a nuero guy for my neck and a ortho guy for my knee.
Got plenty of cigars and pipe tobacco for the long haul.
I heard about that...We don't train with those guys. Every time they pit a car something bad happens.Quote:

Welcome to the icu unit of the forum. Glad your injuries were not too bad. Welcome to recovery, I hope you heal well and my prayers go out for you. Roger.
Damn Ken. Some people are just so fucking oblivious. Prayers sent for a quick recovery. I hope that ass gets what he deserves.
Hey Ken, I just read this. Hope you're feeling ok. Those kind of injuries can linger for a while.
Take care of yourself. Hope you get back to normal quickly.
Hope everything turns out ok in the follow-ups. Praying you don't need surgery.
Still waiting for the OJI folks to approve further treatment...
Keep us posted brother.
Just left the Bone and Joint Clinic...The doc thinks I tore my meniscus. Looks like a MRI is the next step along with physical therapy for my neck.
eeek. I hope you dont join the zipper club like I did.
Best wishes and prayers Sarge.
