On my way home from my mom and dads a few days ago, dad was in a bad accident, broke a bone in his leg in over 40 spots, during surgery his kidneys started to fail, and lungs collapsed, week before that mom had knee replacement surgery, so i go out there and cut up wood for them for their boiler and plow their driveways out...anyways so i was driving home on the main highway (Minnesota state highway 11) for those of you that know where that is...and yep the plow truck (74 Ford 3/4 ton 4x4) caught the edge of the road, down in the ditch I went, at 60mph, up over to the train tracks, back down to the btm of the ditch, plow broke completely off of truck and the mounts are all mangled, had to call mom to bring the dangerous handy man jack so i could lift the plow back in place and put a few bolts in, used a strap to hold the other side on where the welds broke so i could drive it home the last 30 miles...slowest drive home ive ever had thats for sure, but its all welded back in place now, so hope that dont happen again...

Your mom had knee replacement one week ago and she was able to bring you a jack?!!

That's what happens when you talk on the cell phone while you are drinking hot coffee and reach over to change the radio station while driving.

My cousin did something like that back in 1981 driving an Autocar straight job with a half loaded milk bulk tank. Southwest of Milaca, only he did not make it out. You are lucky

If you read it again...it states that mom had knee replacement surgery a week b4 dad had his accident...dads accident happened almost two months ago now, he still cant walk so that why I go out there and cut the wood up and help out...Bob

I also read it as tho he was still in hospital and that it was less than 2 weeks since her knee surgery.
