Fuckin' good to see you back...

**ManDownUnder** · 18th July 2005, 13:01

Welcome back Dave. You sure started a lot of lively discussion in here when you had thge accident... and it brought out the best of a lot of people.

Hope you feel better soon!

Dave, good to see you're back online. It goes without saying that my best wishes are with you, and of course if you need anything... yada yada yada. PM me anything.

On a serious note - I work in disability claims so I feel at least partially qualified to offer my opinion (and that's all it is). Attitude will determine your recovery. There are certain physical limitations that you will have and they may be temporary or permanent, but how you choose to let those physical limitations affect you will determine your quality of life. I can't pretend to understand your position, but I have seen how different people deal with similar situations.

Don't be afraid to ask for help, and don't be afraid to share emotions. The past has happened, it cannot be changed, it is the future that lies within your control.

Jeez, and I haven't even started drinking yet!!

Good to here ya all good mate.
Shows how strong you are.
Take care

**raster** · 18th July 2005, 19:04

You don't know me and I don't know what to say that hasn't been said already.

I'm looking forward to see you, just got to get my license yet.

Had tears in my eyes when I was wading through the first thread.
Have them again.

Get well.

Thanks for the continous words of encouragement and wisdom. I can almost guarantee that I'll come on here sometime and have a moan, "cry", laugh or whatever other emotion I'm feeling. That is because you people, specifically the ones I've met and ride with, are my best friends. I'm from another country and I make friends slowly so all my friends and social interests lie here in KB.

That's why being able to ride again (or partake in KB activities) is so important to me

**duckman** · 18th July 2005, 20:10

Welcome back Dave - We all missed you. Now hurry up and get better!!!

**crazylittleshit** · 19th July 2005, 03:50

Dave...

Don't sweat it mate... And don't beat yourself up over stuff that may or maynot ever happen. It's early days...

Worst possible case is that you decide not to ride a bike again. So what. Most of us have shared more than a few miles with you and the future won't change that shared past. You are part of the family Dave, a part of our history, you are in the family photo album...

Think of it this way.. What would happen if KB folded up (for a zillion reasons)?? Would life be over, nope! Of course not...

Don't stress... Get well....

Cheers

Hmmm, feel a little overwhelmed to say anything here - esp. since I haven't met you SC.

Regardless, my dear, I'm ever so glad that you're back at home. It's really hard recovering from injury - it takes up lots of energy - so get plenty of rest. And that's physical as well as emotional/mental rest too, please don't beat yourself up internally when your body has set the pace it's going to heal at!

But just think - it IS healing. Bodies are amazing things. And when you feel like getting out on the road again - you will. I can't imagine the impact (that one too) of seeing your helmet - but it did make my eyes well up thinking about it. Take care of yourself, let others look after you (because they love you and want to!) and go easy dude.

Mate, remember "this too shall pass" - allow yourself time to heal, you will get there.

BTW - whats the visiting hours at Chez Chucker?

Dave my boy ....you are like a member of my crazy, mucked up family ...

by the way ... you never washed out your coffee cup last time, it's still here waiting ......

It's good to see/hear from you again. Don't worry about healing, anyone who gets out of hospital so soon after a bin like that must have the constitution of an Ox.
