I have an update.

Mate is out of coma and starting to heal. Lost a couple of years memory but seems to be getting it back now which is a huge relief.
He is being transfered to a neuro unit for reabilitation this weekend.
Broken pelvis, fractured vertibrae, broken shoulder and smashed arm still healing also. But on the mend and doing well so far. I am impressed at his rate of recovery actually and his wife and kids are pretty relieved it looks like he will have a full recovery.

A car/van . Four wheeled vehicle. Because to the biker zipping past, glorying in his/her freedom, the inhabitant seems to be in a cage. As indeed thay are.

An interesting sidelight: Is a convertible a cage? Or a trike? If "yes, no" what is the difference?

I believe cage - after all, a trike has 3 wheels, not 4...

Bloody good stuff - I assume he is being sent out to Pt Chev then?

Will have to pop in and say oi if I get out that way...

Crikey, sounds like your mate is on the slow road to recovery. Glad to hear that healing is occuring and its good that they have a great mate like you to go in and check up every now and then. Thanks for the update.

Actually I have not been to see him. His drs think it best to keep the visitors to immediate family only atm. He was pretty traumatised when he woke up (he could not remember the past 2yrs at all) cause he and his family only moved over here just over a year ago from England so he did not remember anyone except his wife and kids. But hes got his memory back now so a few of us will be going up to see him soon hopefully.
Thanks for all your kind words and thoughts everyone.

Cripes, just realised I had not updated Eds progress. He spent a couple of weeks at the head injury place in west aucks and is now home and healing up well.
He is bored stiff and unable to weld anything which he assures me is not good so he is now lurking about his shed looking for other things he can do with one arm and a back brace on. He cant bend over so sweeping the floor is out.
I kindly offered to buy him a tamborine so he could join in the jamming untill his arm is out of plaster and he can play his guitar again.
Aint I nice...
Anyhoo his head injury is healing up well and apart from the normal tiredness etc that comes with a head trauma, it looks like he will make a full recovery. YEAH!
