    There are always times when I haven't been on KB for a couple of days that I wonder what I will find out. Today was one of those days. I always hate it when folks I know get hurt. Or worse. A mixture of total powerlessness and a reminder of our own fragility.

    Our thoughts are with you and yours, John.

    Yeah. What Hitcher said. I login after a couple of days and find this sad news.

    I live about 1 km from the hospital so if I can help anyone from out of town who comes to visit John (phone, coffee, food, bike parking ... could probably arrange a couple of bunk beds too if need be), just yell.

    John, mate, words fail me. Stunned I suppose. Take each day as it comes. As you know, ther'll be ups and downs. Kia Kaha.

    Wink From Mrs Inline Four Aka Donna

    john has been not so great today - having problems with his breathing and has had to have a special mask on today to help him breathe better. He has his i-river, his PSP and his laptop down here - speedygirl is minding them until he gets out of ICU and can start using them. It will be a few weeks before he can use the laptop because he has to lie flat because of his fractured ribs and scapula(shoulder blade). He gets turned every 3 hours from his back to his right side so is able to watch movies. ICU have a good amount for him to watch. For anyone visiting him when he gets to Burwood (I will let you all know when that happens) who wants to know what to take - he loves grapes, blue powerade, bananas and watermelon, rockmelon etc. thank you so much for all your kind words - i pass them onto John and he is over whelmed by the effect he has had on others lives, and that he is so missed in the chatrooms. I will go and see Public Trust on Tuesday and then let you all know about how to make donations. I will get it set up for John with his boy Brett (aged 6) as next-of-kin on it as I can still work and support us.
    God bless you all Donna

    Thanks for the update Donna. I hope they can get his breathing stable soon. My prayers and thoughts are with you all. Please pass thoughts onto John. There are heaps of people thinking about you all.

    Donna - Thank you so much for the update.....

    So we take it that he is in Christchurch Hospital at the moment is that correct?? Then later on John will be moved over to the Burwood Spinal Unit??????????

    Donna, with the greatest of respect; that is enough. Even for him.
    As for the support of those here who care for him, even if we haven't met him, it is IMO, a given.
    KB is an online community that in many ways is closer than a physical community. We all share a passion for the same thing, despite our differences. When one of our community suffers a loss, we share that. When one of our number needs support we provide it as best we can, knowing that it will be returned if ever we should be in need ourselves. That is what real communities do.
    I wish you and John the best of strength, patience, and fortitude for the coming time.
    regards
    Mack

    If by any chance people are going down from up north in the north island to visit him they are more then welcome to stay here.

    Thanks for the update Donna If there is any other way we can help at all please let us know, although I am not sure what we can do being so far away.

    Thoughts and prayers are with you all,

    Jas

    Such bad news. I heard over the weekend but was unable to come online and post.

    Sorry to hear about your bin IL4, hopefully the treatment doesn't last too long and you'll be home before you know it.

    Sam and I send out thoughts and prayers... I know you've had a lot of offers already, but if theres anything you may need, don't be shy to send me a PM

    I haven't been reading KB much lately and just saw this thread.

    I'm really sorry to hear about the accident and wish you a quick recovery.

    In regards to donations guys, we will just wait for Donna to set up the account and then we can go from there.

    At the moment, just keep Inline in thought.

    I've written about twenty sentences and deleted them all because they sounded either naff, soppy or patronising. So, just a big ditto to all thats been said before. Let us know if you need/want anything. I haven't met you in person but that doesn't mean jack.
