Can people please try to be a bit more thoughtful before they hit the "submit" button.

Dave is currently recuperating after an horrific accident. Some of the postings on this and other threads, while well intentioned, don't contribute much to the greater scheme of things. Some items are a bit patronising and others seek to present views and values that may not be shared by others -- including Dave. This has pissed some people off, and I can understand why they are pissed off.

In these threads in particular, let's be mindful of the needs and wishes of Dave and his parents and being supportive of them. They have got a lot in front of them.

And let's be a bit more caring about others here as well. Not everybody is thick-skinned and may not take kindly to being ambushed with truckloads of angry PMs and negative rep points, particularly when they may have done nothing other than express a view that differs from that held by the "herd".

This is our gargre. Let's show a bit more respect for each other.

how about's we just call it quits. stop talking about it, and mods, remove anything below this line that's negative or besides the point.

So anyone checked up on Dave lately? How's he doin now he's back in the wards?

I like your thinking Bugjuice.

I'm popping in tomorrow so I'll know how he is then. Anyone been in today?

I'm going in tonight....I'll post an update later.

Went in and saw Dave tonight. Vtwin was there and so was another friend of Dave's.

He's on level E room 4.

He was pretty tired but doing ok, he was talkling about Harley's again

He can sit up but not enough to be able to watch telly or anything yet and he can't really read either, the neck brace is really annoying him (poor thing!) he said he basically sleeps between visits.

So glad he's gettin' there.

Thanks for the update.... much appreciated.

Please do pass on my well wishes to him, when you see him next.
He will like riding a Harley......

Ditto to what Celtic_Sea_Lily posted.

He is looking so much better that last week. No oxygen mask this time.
He's alot more alert and chatty but as Celtic said he is tired and needs lots of sleep so the body can repair itself.

He told me they are going to try to get him on his feet this week, if not at least sitting up in a chair.

V Rod is what he's talking about getting now....."if I get one I won't be going fast, just cruising from now on."

Good on you Dave.

**bugjuice** · 5th July 2005, 21:27

thought he cruised anyway!
Goood on 'im, and thanx for the updates..
Sitting and getting out of bed is a tough bit, but he's a strong bloke, I'm sure he'll be itchin to get up, and feel better for doing it!

all the best for Dave, keep the updates comin!!

**Gazzar** · 5th July 2005, 21:37

but sounds like he has got the right attude
(ps it is pretty easy to ride with your left arm in plaster)
