uh uh he used "" << those thingies. I feel a strong disclaimer coming.........(no rude comments please......ruuuth & jaz shhh, zip it)(oh btw jazbug5 we know your watching

, as backup gramma police)

**jazbug5** · 28th June 2005, 11:52

Er... I detected his usual ascerbic tone in his use of "quotes".
I assume he was distancing himself from the distasteful use of Americanised spelling by another, less discerning member..?

Holy Hell!

Just read this post as been away for a few days. Had to reread the title a few times as I couldn't believe it was Stonechucker that was hurt

Was heart in mouth as I scrolled through but so so glad to hear that you are doing better and out of ICU.

Take care Dave and get well soon. Regards to your parents and friends, family. VTwin, you're a great mate!

surfchick-the other SC

Yes please do! Saw Dave today and I'm sure he perked up a bit when I told him there was over 20 pages of posts and get well messages - he said he was looking forward to reading them.

To all those who were praying, sending positive energy, sending happy thoughts etc etc - keep them coming - he will need them for a while yet

**John** · 28th June 2005, 21:16

So great to hear hes doing well, being busy praying/thinking of him.

I just cant help but wonder what his new bikes going to be

, Bet he will be out on that A100 within days of release

Kindest regards,

Matthew

**MoFunthanmost** · 28th June 2005, 21:50

Hey Dave - have yet to meet you, but hope your recovery's swift as pos and look forward to seeing you around!

**Gixxer 4 ever** · 28th June 2005, 23:04

Cool SC.

You had us worried. I look forward to seeing you in Taupo in Dec. My son recons you should both take the A100s for a blatt.

Take care and get outa that place soon.

Well, as soon as his arm is up to spec anyway...
A big thing Dave has going for him it the fact that both legs and one arm are "ok" so he will be mobile enough to walk and drive an auto. As anyone who has had a multiple arm or a leg injury knows this is a huge step to rehab as it allows you a level of independace and the ability to get out and socialise a bit.

As was previously mentioned the support network often drops off significantly after a short period, and even although Dave is lucky enough to be able to walk and drive he will still require our ongoing support. Please, especially those of you in wellington, continue to think of Dave in the coming months as those can be the most mentally testing times of the rehab.

Dave I wish you all the best mate, and hopefully you wont be so rude and sleep through my next visit!

(just using your quote as an example John, as a few have said the same)
SC may not be in a hurry or have the interest in riding for a while after such a bad fright/acco..... I know I'd be shitting myself at getting back on the bike after such a thing, and for years after I reckon I'd freak every time I was in a similer situation to the acco.
Conferdance and nerves take a long time to heal....... SC if you are in no hurry to ride again, I will be right behind ya to support that disision

Now..... SC bloody good to hear ya sorting ya shit out in hospital, ya poor fuker ya going to be bloody sore for quite a while, such a relief to know things are picking up for you

**Groins_NZ** · 29th June 2005, 07:49

Glad to hear things are looking up for you Dave.

**Krusti** · 29th June 2005, 08:30

Been away for a while and look what I come back to......Keep ya chin up Dave...I know how tough recovery can be...I am glad you are still with us....This sort of news really freaks me, it is probably one of my biggest fears when riding with my son.

Speedy recovery Dave I'm thinking of ya.

**Paul in NZ** · 29th June 2005, 08:53

Yup! I saw Sels1 there and met Daves dad last night.

Left my little LCD TV and a bag fulla batteries to keep him distracted during the boring days.

Hospitals are the best place while you are banged up but otherwise they are not great are they!

Cheers

**Kjell** · 29th June 2005, 11:17

Stonechucker - glad you are hear to tell the tale, sucks about the bike, but what is money in regards to life?

VTwin - sucks to see another rider go down, but I for one would be grateful to have a fellow rider be near me after the event, they have more idea about what just happened and the effects, riders understand the risks.

Both of you stay strong, many people here will offer whatever support we can. Any cute nurses by the way?

Seeing as the nurses were hiding, I assume you offered to give him a sponge bath?

Yep, had the problem as a male RN as I'd be the one they'd send. Where's care for the patient's total welbeing if you don't let the male patients case the cute female nurses. Definitely an inscentive for a patient to mobilise

**Joni** · 29th June 2005, 20:57

Just a quick update guys - Dave is out of surgery. Both were good (arm and leg) and he is now allowed to sit at an angle which he is very happy about. His arm has shown a little bit of improvement and we are all hopefull of the outcome. Andre and Sheila are exhausted...

Good news is I spoke to Dave for a few minutes - he was struggling to talk, but he sounds ok! Getting stronger every day.

**gav** · 29th June 2005, 21:06

Good news, thanks for the update.

**RiderInBlack** · 29th June 2005, 23:02

No spinal injuries then as well as no major head injuries? Shit hot. It's still going to be a long road but the outlook as far a recovery is concerned is fairly good if you don't have ether of those injuries. I really hope that is the case for you, Dave.

Glad to here that you guys are there for Dave and his parents. Keep up the good work. Proud of you, Dudes And Dudettes

**crashe** · 29th June 2005, 23:06

Thanks for the updates on SC.

Good to see he is now able to sit up a bit more ...

So he will be able to play on the laptop soon...
even typing in with one hand is still good.

**justsomeguy** · 29th June 2005, 23:51

Thanks for the news Joni, glad to know that the worst is over and that it is all a waiting game from here on in.

Well Dave, we are all in this together mate - and it's going to be a great trip

**sels1** · 29th June 2005, 23:52

thanx for that update Joni, its good to see progress. He's been stuck flat on his back for days, I'm sure he will be pleased to sit up a bit.

**wkid_one** · 30th June 2005, 06:57

Have they actually determined the fault of the accident - I am struggling to see how Dave could have been involved in such a bad accident without the 'assistance' of a 3rd party

**sarg** · 30th June 2005, 10:52

glad to hear your on the road to recovery Dave Jon and Kerry

**Uncle B** · 30th June 2005, 11:27

Unfortunately Dave has been admitted back into ICU.

Now more than ever Shelia & Andre need our support.

Not sure at this stage if they are accepting visits.

Got my fingers crossed for you buddy.

Thanks for this update VTWIN.

I'm praying Dave will pull through.

**Ixion** · 30th June 2005, 12:48

Well, let's not assume worse than we need to. He's had a few operations lately. Sometimes the stress of that makes injured people a bit more fragile, and they move them back to ICU just so they can keep a closer eye on them . My undertsanding is that ICU each patient has a full time nurse (ie one nurse per patient) , more or less. Whereas general ward it's a nurse or two per ward. So they can monitor things much more closely in ICU.

I'm hoping anyway, so I'll run with that theory until I hear something definately bad.

Thougts and prayers . And other suchlike stuff.

**TonyB** · 30th June 2005, 12:53

Hope you're right Ixion. It makes sense though, with all Dave's been through.

Comon Dave, you can do it mate. Got all my fingers and toes crossed that Ixons right.

**riffer** · 30th June 2005, 13:00

Shit. I was just getting my gear on to go in to town to see Dave.

I'll leave it for another day.

Fingers crossed for you buddy...

**aff-man** · 30th June 2005, 13:02

Arse...............

Thoughs are with ya dave + family.
