Getting Hit By A NYC Taxicab Is Even Less Than It’s Cracked Up To



As many of you know, on October 23rd, I was minding my own business in a crosswalk, when a taxi driver made a quick left turn without looking and rammed into me.  I have been in the hospital ever since, which is the reason View From Madison Avenue hasn’t posted.

I had spinal cord surgery and I am progressing well. I hope to be my old self within a few weeks.

I want to thank my friends for the wonderful comments and well wishes I have received through Facebook and my personal email.

  15. Paul - Just read about your accident, I can't believe it... So sorry to hear and hope you make a full and speedy recovery. I've been hit by a car before (twice actually) but not to the extent that you did. Don't rush your recovery,things take a while to get back to normal - but know that they do. Mike H.
