THANK YOU DUSA particpants for all of the good energy and prayers! I am well on the road to recovery and now in a rehabilitation hospital learning to walk again. Today I am home on a day pass and walking slowly with a walker. Thank God I'm alive! My family got that dreaded news early morning on Father's day last June. At around 4am, I was on my way back into the hospital where I work to recover an emergency surgical case. Little did I know I would become one myself! Wrecking 1/2 mile from the trauma center where I work saved my life and limbs. Got my watermellon busted , several limbs and other things busted good!

I woke up to OUCH! It was around the time when the 8 racing fans were killed (and 10 injured) over in the Johnson Valley OHV area. WOW! I am one lucky and blessed man! Its been a rough bumpy road and I'm sorry to say the accident was fatal to my 4x4 truck and camper shell though we did manage to slavage the desert essential gear inside. Once I recover enough to obtaain my driving privaleges again from the DMV (lost due to a head injury), I'm planning to buy another 4x4 vehicle to enjoy my lifetime that is left. No work in my immediate future ( a year or two off) but I still have my jobs when I'm ready!

Anyway, safe travels and enjoyment to you all. God bless you all and thank you for your prayers and support!

Dave, so good to hear from you and thankful that you're well on the road to recovery. I sent a card to you some time ago but don't know if you ever received it or not. I've had some of my own medical issues these past 10 months but I'll send you a note to explain them, you'll be shocked. I've got your parents address, I trust that will still work to get mail to you.

Anyway, good to see you back here on DUSA - be talking to ya....

I know it can be hard, but keep up with the physical therapy.

Take care,

Welcome back SM. Hoping your recovery/therapy goes well for you. Hoping that the DMV clears you so you can hit the back roads again.
