Jessi still recovering

[Wyotechgrad08]

I heard from Jessi Combs today. I can't believe she's been in recovery for eleven months now. Filming for the new season of Xtreme 4x4 should begin in January and I can only guess as to how much she'll be able to do. I guess breaking your back takes a long time to recover from. I took eight months when I broke my neck, so I know how she feels.

awww... wish her the best, its nice to see a cute girl into trucks...

[kneedownnate]

That's a bummer, didn't even know she was hurt, but I guess that's what happens when you only have 2 channels.

[jrock]

I thought she was all better. Damn, that sucks.

[79coyotefrg]

yea  those back  muscles  and  stuff take forever to heal

ask me how i know


if you talk to her again tell her  we said hi

[Lady Di]

How the hell did she break her back? I never heard about this.

[MiniSimp]

If you talk to her again, tell her I'll bone her if it'll make her feel better.
















Oh, and I do hope she gets better, her not being on the show just makes me hate Ian, with her on there is a good balance.

[tom w.]

If you talk to her again, tell her I'll bone her if it'll make her feel better.

that might be a little too subtle...

On January 29, 2007, a non-shoot day, Jessi had a terrible accident at work just outside of the studio. A 550lb band-saw fell, landed on her back, taco'd her head to her knees, shattered her L3 and everything surrounding.

After being ambulanced to the Vanderbilt Hospital, a few x-rays, cat scans, and laying on her back without any movement for five days; the doctors performed a major spinal surgery to install new hardware consisting of 2 screws and 4 hooks, holding together 2 rods,  allowing for a fusion of the L1 - L4 vertebrae.
Jessi is now at home walking, healing, and becoming a tad bit impatient from going 90 to nothing. No worries though, Physical therapy ended in May, so she continues home therapy to the point where she has almost returned to a normal workout session. Shes definitely getting back to what the doctors say will be 100%. You will be able to see her back on the show starting July 15th working part time on limited light duty, which includes no wheeling...yet.

She's the only reason I Tivo that show.  Hope she gets back, Ian's not that cute!!!

[Wyotechgrad08]

I don't know, he looks Ok for a Canadian

[Lady Di]

I never cared for the show but I thought she was cool

[mudguts]

If you talk to her again, tell her I'll bone her if it'll make her feel better.

Just pm her, she's a member here 



Hope you get well sooner than expected Jessi 

[Tice]

I don't know, he looks Ok for a Canadian

[DanS]

And whats wrong with Canadians?

[Tice]

Nothing wrong, just the way it was said!!

[jrock]

Mr "aboot" needs his partner back.
I would guess she can't wheel with an injury like that. Sucks, no build no wheel.

dude,  tell her   to come back and talk to us little people   her and Ian used to come on here all the time 

[Rocksurfer]

My wife has never recovered from her broken neck from 12 years ago. She's in constant pain, yes she's permanent and stationary but the pain has never gone away. I hope Jessi has a full recovery.

[topar]

Broke my leg and back playing high school football.  It took me over a year to recover.  I know her pain.  Hope she feels better soon.

[kneedownnate]

dude,  tell her   to come back and talk to us little people   her and Ian used to come on here all the time 

I don't think she's been on the board in about 2 years.  Not sure when Ian last popped in though.

[DTB]

[Duffil]

hey--I naver made any pervy comments towards/about her...blame the other guys.

[unclejpl4x4]

My back is also messed up  i will never be right it has been sore for months now darn wet cold weather.

[Wyotechgrad08]

yea she dont come around anymore cause u guys are a bunch of pervs!

This would be one reason

[Rocksurfer]

Sadly you'd be correct, it's in our jeans (j/k) and some just can't keep 'em up(j/k). ...and some people can't stand that a woman would know more than they do on this stuff so the easiest way to get rid of them is to continually bring up their sex and ask to see thier boobs.

[Wyotechgrad08]

Yeah I know, I see it everyday at school... but I still have the highest grade in the automotive department.

[red]

hope she gets all healed up, must be pretty painful to break your back.

i always thought it was wierd in my welding and auto classes when other guys wouldnt let the girls do any of the work or keep on bein pervs to them. in my opinion if your willing to help and have a good personality then grab a wrench or whatever tool is needed and help out.

[79coyotefrg]

well  if i see  it happening here  NOW  it will be  dealt with

so if  it happens   report it  promptly
