Please do. I've spoken with the VA, and they say he's not there.
Thank you!

The VA, in some cases, has a bad habit of categorizing patients by their SS number.
You should, however, be able to find him by name.......one would think.

Perhaps I assumed incorrectly. Re-reading the info here, perhaps he's at another VA facility than the one I first assumed - in San Diego. I also
called Long Beach - but they're reporting he's not there either.
So, he's either in another facility, been released, or has privacy requested that keeps his info off the main records the operators look at.

Has anyone mentioned how he went north from the accident? If he proceeded on an emergency basis, sirens blasting, he would have been transferred to
US Paramedics at the border. Perhaps they took him to Sharps [the closest, I believe, in Chula Vista] or Kaiser.

The OP said he was already in Laguna Beach with family.
A later post (perhaps earlier info?) indicated he would have a stay at the VA hospital.

Wouldn't have my dogs in the truck without one. Can't believe anyone else would either. Pickle prolly would have stayed in the car had she been
buckled.
Russ, glad you both made it to socal. Check in when you can.

It wasn't that long ago that Tecate police were pushing mordida for not having your dog in a seat belt inside the vehicle.
I hope they aren't reading this.

Thank you all for your best wishes!
Just got up from a siesta. Spent yesterday in Long Beach VA hospital then transferred to UCI urgent care until 4 this morning. There was some worry
about a punctured lung but not. Yes there is a lot of pain but I'm lucky and will have to get another car to return home. Steve/Meany saved the day
and got me to my sisters in Laguna asap. It was thought I only had one broken rib but after the C Scan the found 6.
A few people stopped to help me and they were great to stick around until the local cop showed up and took me to the Geurro Negro Hospital. I can't
say enough bad things about that hospital and their staff. 3 hours of no meds or help. But everyone else I made contact went out of their way to help.
The staff and owner at the Caricol hotel went the extra mile for me. When I couldn't get out of bed in the morning the owner got a doctor to come out
with all the right stuff so the trip north from there was comfortable. Thanks to all. No! I'll heal up, get another car and head home in a few weeks.

What Monet forgot...
The completion of a masterpiece, Monet's Waterlilies, and we didn't even know until right now.
Well done, Big Oly.

Russ, that is one ugly car! Can't believe you and Mason are OK --- well, except for the major pain you are suffering. Thank goodness you didn't
puncture a lung! Is Mason hurting? You will heal and head back home sooner than later and there will be a lot more sunrises.
Our experience with the hospital in Guerrero Negro was not very good. It is good to know that others were so quick to help.
And off topic --- BigOly, that photo is a prize winner without question. It is beautiful and one's eyes are drawn quickly to the look between mom and
the one chick. It has major personality!
