I sent Beck a PM earlier this afternoon, just to let her know that I was thinking about her and her son – for those who did not see it mentioned in another thread, her son was in a rollover accident in his truck a week or two ago, and suffered numerous injuries, including a neck fracture.
She sent this reply to me, and gave me permission to share it on the SDMB:
It sounds like your son is in excellent hands and is, thank heavens, doing OK. Please continue to take care of yourself while others are taking care of him. He needs you, and so do we.
Thanks very much for the update; and yes, know that you’ve got a large pool of good wishes over here; but put your energies where you need to put them.
Kenobi , you can decide whether to say this, and whether Beck is ready for any humor (though I’ve never known her not to be)…
Beck, we’re sending you and your son healing vibes. And you know what would speed that healing? If you (or hubby) dressed up as a Bigfoot, stuck your head in his hospital room after dark and said “Son-of-a-Wrek… you’llll surviiiive this. I belieeeeeve in youuuu…”
I am so sorry to hear this happened. I am wishing all the best to Beck’s son, and strength to Beck as she supports him and her family. I hope we see great news about his progress very soon.
