JohnD1956 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Don ( a/k/a/ 4 Bufords ) is on the mend from a broken right leg. Apparently 4 weeks ago while letting his 57 Super down from a floor jack the car rolled into him and broke his leg. He said the paramedics rushed him out of there so fast he didn't have time to put the spark plugs back in the engine! He is in a re-habilitation facility and pushing himself hard to recover and get out in time to try and get to Charlotte. He can still monitor the forum and so I hope you'll join me in wishing Don a speedy recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serb Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Don,Remember, keep one foot moving, this is not a flop house. or....Shake a leg. or....that is enough of that.Get well, we all hope that your pain is manageable. Don't push it, it sounds like you probably did quite a bit of damage based on the 8-10 weeks for weight.Get well.Stevo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smithbrother Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 SHAKE A LEG, wow, long time since I heard that. My dad used to holler at us kids, he would say, "YOU KIDS BETTER SHAKE A LEG AND GET TO DOING YOUR CHORES".Sorry to hear of your leg, I do wonder WHEN YOU PLAN ON INSTALLING THEM DARE SPARK PLUGS? hehehe.How did the paramedic's know to come get you, did you have your cell handy?I wish you well, FOR SURE!Dale in Indy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
