Hope your right about SC shifting into Orthopaedic Wark because most Orthopaedic Wards don't take serious head injuries. I hope this is good news as broken bones heal a lot better an a "broken" brain.

Thanking about you mate.
Any of those nurse's misbehave I'll come down a give them a good spanking for you

He was on his way to the Ornatheo...Orthapes...Orthapae....he was on his way to another ward (not ICU) at 1pm

Not yet.... I popped in around 3pm and the rude bugger was sleeping! Caught up with his folks who are in good spirits and were blown away by the level of KB support. They were still hoping he would be moved to a ward this afternoon but there was a bit of a toss up as to which ward he would head to. Sounds like he improving steadily

From the Newstalkzb site
?? Three other bikers ? Thought there was only one.

Can the local folks wot work in Bike Shops ask about please?

More information sought on crash

Police are seeking information about a serious motorcycle crash in Upper Hutt on Saturday afternoon. One man is in intensive care in Wellington Hospital after hitting the Moonshine Bridge on River Road.

Constable Jim Veale says the motorcyclist involved was travelling with three other bikers. He says police want to hear from the other drivers in the group and the driver of a van, who was seen waiting to turn right into Moonshine Road.

Maybe put up a little poster or summat? Maybe it's just my lynchin' arm playin' up in the cold weather but something is starting to give of the first wiff of a stink here..

I dont want to talk about his injuries as I dont know too much, but before anyone gets worried about this I thought I better point out he doesnt have serious head injuries, just a minor concussion.

[Paul in NZ]

Flowers on the way to his folks place from us a KB people (never met his folks)

I'll sort out some other stuff as I get weller and brain starts functioning again.

Soon as I'm non infectious I'll go visit him. I have a wee 3.5" LCD colour TV he can use.

Cheers

Can not wait to get the new bike this summer...I get the shits seeing stuff like this...But, If I have people like you in my corner, well...I know I would feel good about donating organs if the end user had a KB Stamp!!

Hi Guys

I had a long talk with Daves father Andre tonight, he wanted me to once again thank everyone on KB for the on going support. He has told me that the support has been very uplifting for both himself and his wife Sheila. The thing I found most amazing was that he said our support and loving words has made him look at his son in new eyes, with even more respect and admiration.... he never knew the amazing impact that young man has had on so many of our lives.

From me I ask... Dave is a good friend to me, please remember him in the months to come and keep the support going as it is now. He not only needs us now, he will need us in the next few months.

Take care and thanks again from Daves family.

Joanne

PS - He is being moved out of ICU in about 5 minutes.... wooohoooo!!!

[aff-man]

That's really good to hear...


Hmmm methinks a trip down to welly is in order when he is out of the smelly hospital type place

[HDTboy]

It's good to hear that he's on the move, Get well soon SC

[SPman]

Good point Joni.
After the initial wave of shock, etc, it can be easy to let these things slip
Dave will need lots of support in the months to come - lets ensure he gets it.

[Uncle B]

please remember him in the months to come and keep the support going as it is now. He not only needs us now, he will need us in the next few months.

He has been a good riding buddy, friend & neighbour to me.
I have made a promise to myself to be there for him as much as I can.

[Ms Piggy]

Visited Dave this morning with his parents and Celtic Sea Lily.
He looks a hell of a lot better than when I saw him last.
Pretty groggy from the pain killers and he kept on falling asleep then wakeing up. He can talk but not very much and did remember me but has no idea what happened.

Sorry I haven't updated anyone, I was at work the rest of today and no time to even contemplate looking at KB's - especially since I was a few hours late.

It was quite sobering seeing him. A few people have asked me if I felt better for seeing him and to be honest I didn't...I guess thats b/c he's looking so vulnerable etc. And for once I was actually at a loss for what to say! But, it was such great news that he is out of ICU.

His parents are amazing people! Their positive attitudes and their love for Dave is really inspiring!

Joni and I both agree that it will the weeks and months down the track he'll need us but, he does also need us now and his Mum and Dad are very happy for us to visit him. Hopefully when he's moved he'll be in a ward with some good people who can keep him positive.
