So we all survived, some against the odds.
:P Has anyone else got a folder full of photos which were prepared for their inquest?

I'm always amazed when I check new pics. I think JT80's must be a record. Then I was blown away with Russ and his before and after shots; there cant be many like that.

All I can say to you City Girl... Fantastic legs! Now we've seen the before lets see the after? I bet they're just as good... :mfrlol:

Simon, you should think about charging for downloads. You may have to give CG a royalty though.

Now if I had legs like that, people would be staring.

While I was doing my outpatient PT there was this elderly lady who announced to everyone that she wished she had nice legs like mine. Not something a 50-year-old guy wants to hear. I've been wearing long pants ever since.

Here's me b4 my accident the 1st time I tried to break my neck. Well, maybe 3rd, 4th, 5th, or 6th, but the 1st time I was confined to a wheelchair for a month b4 I could even get on crutches. Intead I got 2 broken femors. I was practicing and getting used to pain all my life. I've got medical records that fill up 3 filing cabinets. (Did I tell I was a bit of a ham too. It's my last name. No...Really! It is! Except spelt with 2 m's instead of 1. Ironic?!). Am I going to get in trouble for some nudity policy for this 1. I was just being the ass that I was. Like broken legs was gonna slow me down & teach me something. Ok, no more. I'm done after these...unless prompted.

Here's a picture of me with my parents and out Sophie dog about half a year before my accident. Sorry if the pic comes out too big, not sure I've done it right.

Just for good measure, here's a picture of me and Sophie after my accident. Aww, isn't she cute?! I just love showing off pics of her. Sadly, she passed about a year ago. The best dog I've ever had (and we've had a few).

You've not changed much Gus, still the same smile and a bum some one could park a bike in... :(

How cute Trin, what a shame you had to grow up; or have you?.. :)

Nice pics ER; Sophie was on the left, right?... :)

I do have more of me but only B&W plus there's enough of me here now.

Oh Schiet! I wasn't paying attention (can't afford it). I forgot to edit it again. I apologize for the nudity. I can't believe I even have so many explicit pic's.

Hey Ches, if you liked my a$$, what do you think of the rest? Look at the spray I had then. Can you imagine now? Haha JK!

I'm going to hell. Sorry guys. It's one of those days.

Thank you. That's so sad about your pooch. I can't imagine the kind of people that do stuff like that. As if we don't have enough problems.

I don't have the same great legs anymore but I'm workin' on it. I just got a stationary bike and I'm on it every day. My mom just gave me some digital photos from a family bridal shower. This is the best shot of my legs currently. (I'm the one in the middle.)

Fantastic legs City Girl so keep working on that bike, they look as good as Betty Grable's... I'm old, so for you youngsters, she was a famous film star with fantastic legs..

I've no idea why but I couldn't see the pic you posted Kev O.. ??

I'm away for a day and the pix pages go loco.

Gus, my heart sings to see that pre-accident (big one) you knew to lounge on a beach with a beautiful bird. You good thing. But on seeing you in a some beauty's arms as a baby (is that your mom!!!) I guess you were destined to experience beautiful women.

Simon, even then you had style.

eleanorrigby, my tongue is hanging like your dog's. He and I know.

Trin, that baby pix is so fitting to the image you project here. You sweet thing.

OK ches, now that I'm no longer supine, but regrettably fixed-recline, I'm waiting on you to dig out a baby photo – now that I'm almost recovered from that bombshell in red.

Scribbler, this thread is fun. You're my hero of the day.
