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: > [@](#): > > I’m up to my eyes in extended family. My son had been taken to a rehab place after his surgery to stabilize his neck. They have taken him to Knoxville, Tenn. > We’re trying to figure out a schedule do people can visit some so he doesn’t feel abandoned. > It’s been a very scary time for us. My own scary health didn’t affect me so. > Tell every hey on the Dope. I miss you guys. ---

**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…” ---
