It was easy, as I didn't want to be the one my kids picked it up from. Now that they're adults, I rarely hear any from them either.

    I hope all is well with Collin. I wanted to share my dads story. In 1977 my dad was in accident that severed his arm off just above the elbow. When the first responders came he asked them to bring his arm. At the first hospital they told my dad there was nothing they could do. Two weeks prior my dad read a story about a Dr. Reeder ( I think that is how you spell it) who had developed a technique for limb replantation. At the time he was at Orthopedic Hospital in Los Angeles. My dad asked if they would call and see they would take him, Before he knew it, my mom, my dad and his arm packaged in ice between his legs were in a helicopter off to Los Angeles. Historically, my dad is the 2nd limb replantation patient. At the time, he achieved 35% use of his arm. When I see stories like your sons, it always moves me. My dad is such a resilient man who takes life in stride. They learned a lot of from dads experience. Somewhere in your sons success is a little of my dad. We don't always understand why bad things happen in our lives. One thing is for sure, God can turn anything bad and use it for good! Praying for a quick recovery for Collin!

    Best of luck and sending prayers for Colin. Our oldest broke his lower leg in high school football. Numerous surgeries, two plates (one broke and one bent) , then finally an external fixater (a 3 ring halo) to straighten the leg. He just turned 36 and it still swells and bothers him. But it doesn't slow him down. He hunts, camps and works as a maintenance mechanic where he has to climb 40 feet up feed mill equipment. So Best of luck to your son. He'll be fine.

      You should look into the story about the time a buyer for Subaru bought brake peddle switches that turned out to be counterfeit and they installed them on many cars. An investigation found they had been compromised by the fumes of a workers purfume that melted a seal made of the wrong material. I knew "au de grandma" was strong but that's rediculus.

    I feel for Colin! I was in a motorcycle accident when I was 17 and almost lost my leg below the knee. Compound fractures of my tibia and fibula and the skin at the impact point was damaged beyond healing. I had a "cross pedicule flap" which means they grafted a large chunk of skin from my left leg to my right leg. They brought medical students in to see me as I was only the third person to have this surgery back in the 70's. I was in the hospital for 2 months. I took multiple operations over 5 years before I could walk on my own 2 feet. They had put a steel rod through my tibia which I had to have removed 40 years later for a knee replacement (probabaly long term damage to the joint?). WIll keep Colin in my prayers for a speedy recovery from his surgeries.

    A few weeks later I had a helping hand so I could replace the old sensor and bleed the brakes. But the new switch immediately started leaking while bleeding the brakes. So, a tossed it in the trash and put the old broken but trusty one back in. The cable tied mechanical sensor did not let me down yet! Maybe one day i will acctually build a bracket for it... :D
