I woke up loaded up my grandson Bucket Head And with my new dump trailer hooked up to my almost new 2018 Laramie Longhorn Crew Cab Cummins 4x4. We headed off to sell a load of scrap that had been sitting in my trailer since this past April 2020. Well the time at the metal place isn’t real clear, but apparently I unloaded it 3000lbs and I remember pulling out of their parking lot next thing I remember was sitting at a red light and complaining about the light not changing fast enough.
Next memory I have is waking up in ICU with someone telling me I had a heart attack and totaled my truck. I was alert enough to ask about my grandson. Apparently over and over, they told me he was fine. I just need to take a break and regroup. I was discharged yesterday to come home. I’m very confused so bear with me if I promised something that I haven’t delivered on. I’m going to take some time off and rehab. A while. Thanks for all the well wishers and prayers sent already.

Hello Roy,
Great news that no one was seriously hurt.
Wish you well on your road to recovery.
Stay safe....
Happy Mopar :)
Arron.
 
Take it easy, glad that you and your grandson are well
 
Wow Roy ... sorry to hear.
Be well .. and looking at the truck it's a good thing you and the boy are ok from the crash. Take it slow for now. Health first, everything else second.
 
take care of yourself, everything else is secondary at this point
 
All those years responding to calls like this, probably never thought you'd be one, huh? lol
Glad youre healing, pal. Keep getting better.

Roy,
Real glad to hear that you and your grandson are ok.... that’s the main thing. My Dad always said “vehicle’s are replaceable, people are not”. Take care of yourself and your grandson and all of us at FABO send you both best wishes for a speedy recovery!!!!
Take Care,
Greg

Wow so glad you guys are alright. My prayers are with you. I got luckily also with my heart attack. But it gave me some warnings. I hope you have a speedy recovery,
