Within days the hit counter to this thread maxed out at over 65,000 hits and responses were posted from every continent including Antarctica. Who knows how many have read that story. I got hundreds of emails; maybe even over a thousand - wha'ever it was, it was a lot. It locked my email account with overflow errors. Dozens from helpful Jeepgal nurses. My dating life will never be the same. Many emailed simply to express their sympathy and tell me dumb stuff they have done (although they weren't stupid enough to post it on the internet). My favorite was a woman working with 5-minute epoxy that glued her butt to a toilet seat (and yes she had to wear it to the hospital). I have been personally contacted by Japanese newsgroups, British media, others I won't divulge, and local radio stations trying to get me to respond with my story. I have gratiously declined all requests since I already got all the "exposure" I could ever want. Sheesh.
After verifying that yes indeedy: Rosie O'Donnell and night shows and Dave Barry and Paul Harvey and automotive magazines and the Darwin Awards and Letterman and etc really were searching for me, I elected to be anonymous. So far, they have honored my request, and I appreciate that.
