Excellent news. That is a big leap forward for him. Good to get the legs working again after being flat on his back for that long.
Well done Dave!

**crashe** · 6th July 2005, 21:32

**Gixxer 4 ever** · 7th July 2005, 07:34

Cool. Good stuff Dave. Speights_bub has his first bucket outing this weekend and he has you in mind as you chatted to him about it. Yep an A100. So you will be on the track in thought this weekend. Take care Dave. Hope to catch up sometime.

Yep - I got a text from Mikey and he wanted me to pass on the great news too! That is such a HUGE breakthrough - I know he'd talked about sitting up and walking but I had thought maybe next week.

That is awesome news

Dave- you are the man

**Ghost Lemur** · 7th July 2005, 09:18

Talk about not wasting any time.

You go Dave.

I'm feeling more sorry for the amount of new posts you're going to have to trudge through when you get back, your recovery may not take months, but catching up on the Forums will.

Has anyone smuggled him in one of these --->

yet? Bet he's dying for one.

Awesome Awesome Awesome

Keep strong!

**aff-man** · 7th July 2005, 10:22

great to hear

Keep it up dave

**phantom** · 7th July 2005, 10:30

At last some good news on a crappy day. Keep it up Dave

**ManDownUnder** · 7th July 2005, 10:37

Go for it chappie... go for it.

Dave - I don't know the battels you're fighting and I wish I was in the same town so I could stop in. I can't but I'm thinking of you - as we all are.

When you are in Auckland next, PM me - I'll happy shout the first couple of drinks for you.

Tell ya what - this has been a stirling example of everyone coming together in the face of adversity. The KB mob - you're blardy awesome (and no - I ain't been drinking... )

**skidz** · 7th July 2005, 11:30

Yeah, you show those doctors how it's done Dave.

So glad he's gettin' there.

dave-
i feel for you man with all your body's going through-and the mental discipline it takes to not go nuts that you can't get round and healing up takes so long.... just really feel for you in hospital...hang in there...and big hugs from aucklandKB crew. thinkin of you in there this wet grizzly day

Heh - yep. Into ICU.

NC · 7th July 2005, 17:42

Woohoo! Go DAVE!!!h

**RiderInBlack** · 7th July 2005, 20:21

Fu*ken great news hearing that you were up and mobilising

.That's a biggy. Must have been real hard work, but ooh the relief

No one realises how much not being able to move affects their choices and independance until they are able to.

Congratulations on your first steps to regaining you Indendance, Dave

Good one Velox. I presume that was the bottle of Martinborough Beer from the Pub we had lunch at on last Saturdays ride? A beer that rode over the Rimutakas on the back a bike for Dave....well done

**Ms Piggy** · 7th July 2005, 22:30

I popped in and saw Dave tonight - he was very chipper indeed. I think now that he can walk he's probably feeling a lot more positive. Yay Dave!!

**Madmax** · 7th July 2005, 23:42

I will have a word with some of the IT people down there
and see if i can get him a phone jack hooked up
so he can get dialup access (if he has an account?)

**Sheila** · 8th July 2005, 05:05

Hi this is Sheila , Dave's mother (Stonechucker).This is the first time I'm trying this so hope it will work as I am a bit of an ass when it comes to this stuff. Dave told me to get Bruce to show me how to log in and use it but it's 4 in the morning and I'm at work so can't.
Hope you guys are all well. I met so many of you at the hospital , but was really feeling majorly spun out at the time and if you were all stark naked and walking on your hands it probably would'nt have registered.
HOWEVER I remember you all and you are great.
Dave is doing much better and so is his family , and you guys definitely get a lot of the credit for this.
Hugs hugs and more hugs.

LB · 8th July 2005, 05:18

Hi Sheila - welcome to the KiwiBiker site!!

We're all thinking of Dave and you guys.

Yep I felt a bit of an idiot doing that at the hospital, but some part of it must have registered because I was finally able to attract your attention!!!

Good to have you on here Sheila. It's a shame we all had to meet you in these circumstances, but it's easy to see now where Dave gets his great personality from.

I got a text from Dave yesterday so it's great knowing I can get in touch with him now and keep checking how he's going. Is Dave on Prepay for his cellphone. If so we might have to send him some prepay cards so he can keep topping up to keep his fanclub happy!

Dave was saying yesterday that someone that works at the hsopital has offered to let him use her computer! Yay! So when he's up and about a bit more he'll be able to walk down and use her PC.

He also said it takes him a while to reply to texts.

**White trash** · 8th July 2005, 07:44

Hi Sheila, I'll definitely keep my clothes on next time, just seemed appropriate that once for some reason.

Hugs back at you.

Welcome Sheila! So glad you're able to pop in and say 'Gidday'. We don't care if you don't remember us - we just want Dave, Andre and yourself to be well and take care, if we can help with that then we're glad to.

**Gixxer 4 ever** · 8th July 2005, 07:49

4 in da morning....darn you should be asleep girl.

You have done well with this boy. Welcome to the KB world. You have done well to have so many people coming and going from Daves bed side.

It is a bit overwhelming when you suddenly find your loved ones belong to a huge family like this. Thanks for posting and get some Sleep. Hope to see you all up here for a holiday sometime.

**FROSTY:Me** · 8th July 2005, 08:19

Sheila--um Hey gidday -not good that we all get to meet like this but good to meetya anyhoo.
Planning on making the pilgramage down to visit the good fulla on monday with baby bikie my son

**Joni** · 8th July 2005, 08:22

Hi Sheila.... :spudwave:
What a lovely surprise to see you here. Welcome!!!!

**crashe** · 8th July 2005, 08:50

Welcome Sheila ,

You and Andre' must also look after yourselves and keep well.

Its good to hear that Stonechucker is doing so well.
It won't be long before he is chasing the nurses around the ward.

Now that you have found out how the site works, come on in and keep us updated on that lad of yours.

I, like many others do live so far away from Wellington , and can't get in to see him, so all the updates are greatly appreciated.

Take care.
Crashe.

**Paul in NZ** · 8th July 2005, 09:21

Goodness me...

This is all good news on the Dave front!

Last night... It turns out the partner of one of my close co-workers is the very radiologist that spotted the bleeder and quite prossibly saved Daves life! (You ROCK G****** ) I have given her a hug from us all and a damn big thank you! Good people doing GOOD work here folks!

The Police investigation. I have made some .... erm! ' Inquiries ' through channels open to me. Tracking down the grey / white van (which may or maynot have been there) is a high priority but with nothing else to go on... It's going to be hard to figure out what exactly happened! Thus far, I have not heard a definitive answer...

To Daves folks.

There is a huge resource of talent and people here. Dave is highly regarded here and if you need anything, please ask!

It's all good folks but PLEASE be careful out there eh?

Cheers
