Bennie involved in accident

Post by Mud Dog »

Guys, I've just recieved some distressing news from Cassie (stuck in traffic). He was informed by Charmaine (Charming), Bennie's wife, that Bennie was involved in a serious motor vehicle accident and that he is lying in hospital. Cassie was unable to elaborate on Bennie's condition since the details are still sketchy.

The reason for the call was for me to post this on the forum, since as most of you are aware, Bennie and Charmaine are deeply religious people and she is asking that we pray for Bennie.

I thank you all on their behalf and I'm sure that Cassie will update on Ben's condition as soon as he has more info.

Got some more information. Evidently a guy in a Merc cut him off as he was taking the exit on the highway about 4km from his house. It was raining at the time and as Bennie tried to avoid the accident he lost control of the Pajero and rolled it totalling it. He is in the x-ray department at the moment as he is complaining from lots of pain in his right shoulder and neck. I will try and keep you posted as the news comes in.

Thanks Guys, just got home after being discharged, they booked me of for a week.

I sustained a serious backlash and soft tissue bruising in my neck, the safety belt brused my shoulder and my left and femur took a serious knock and I will not be able to walk normally for a few days. Other then that, stitches to my arm, shin and the back of my head as well as one spot where the skin is missing for about 2 cm by 1cm.

But I thank the Heavenly Father for keeping my intact and safe to continue with my task as Husband and Dad to my family. ;)

Ek sien dit nounet...

Jy moet ons nie so ontstel nie ouboet!!!! 'n D4D????????

Ek kan net dink hoe rof die ding vir jou en jou gesin moet wees. Dit ontstel my net so geweldig om te dink dat daar 'n moontlikheid van 'n diesel voertuig in jou lewe bestaan.

By the way, die ongeluk ding was ook seker sleg....

Hi Bennie, jammer om te hoor van die ongeluk en gelukkig weet ons dat God alles tot goed laat mee werk vir die wat Hom lief het, laat my net wonder as ek dit mag vra aan die ander manne hier op die forum "as so iets met jou gebeur en dit draai na die ergste is jy gereed om jou Skepper te ontmoet?"

Ek het ook weer op nuut 'n warmte in my hart gekry vir 'n forum soos die, om te sien hoe 'n klom "harde manne" gou kan sag word as daar iets gebeur met een van die manne.

En dan bly ons eg Suid Afrikaans - maak nie saak wat die skade die grappe is meer. :lol: :lol: :lol: Hul sê nie verniet lag is goed vir die siel nie.

Bennie is in baie pyn maar klink darem positief. Hy het wel slegte nuus gekry vandag. Werwel C7 is gebreek. Hy moet vir 6 weke stut dra en dan sal hulle kyk wat om verder te doen. Sterkte ou maat

That's not good news, but it could have been a lot worse. Take it easy during your lay-off period and don't do anything stoopid. All the best with the recovery.

I've only seen this now too, was out the whole day today.

Sterkte Bennie and glad you're not seriously hurt, could have been worse and we thank the Lord for keeping His Hand on you. Sorry to hear about the Pajero, she looked so nice over the weekend.

Thanks for all the messages, calls, sms etc.

Ja I now have to be still for 6 weeks wearing a hard brace on my neck.

C7 the last neck vertebrae before the torso starts is fractures and the ligaments connected to it is torn with blood in between them. The daytime radiologist looked at my xrays again and saw something suspect and they called me back in. They first did a CT scan which confirmed their suspicion and then they did an MRI to properly view the extend of the damage.

The neuro surgeon said that so far everything is still in place and if I keep everything still for 6 weeks to heal properly I should make a full recovery without the need for extra correctional work to be done. There is a slight compression between C7 and T1 but so far the disk seems in tact. So please I need all the prayers possible guys, again I want to thank the Lord for keeping me safe as things could have been so much worst or Charmaine and the kids could have been with me in the car when it happened, The passenger side aparently is very badly damaged. My brother went to the place where the car is stored today and took pics, I will post then as soon as he mails them to me

At least my marbles are still intact, or at least as intact as they were before the indecent ;) This gives new meaning to the phrase "ek gaan jou nek breek" :lol:

Bennie,
Ek het gisteraand vir my seun die storie van josef gelees(slaaptyd).
Die les wat ons geleer het was met die slegte laat Die Here die goeie gebeur, soos Cas sê ons moet net regop sit en dit raaksien(met die stut sal jy nou meer regop kan sit :wink: )

Jy en jou gesin is in ons gebede.
Sterkte.

Hi Bennie.

Ek is bly om te hoor jy is OK al het jy seergekry. Hoop dit kom gou reg sonder enige blywende probleme.

Miskien kom die breinskade nou ook reg, en dan koop jy 'n nuwe Toyota.
