Re: horrible accident today

Many of you remember me posting on the 4th of July about the jet ski accident my friend had http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/general-off-topic/42601-horrible-accident-today.html so I just wanted to give you an update on his progress.

He was in the hospital for over a month before he was discharged. He's been at home for a few weeks now and he is doing great. I went to see him today for his birthday party and he was the same exact guy as before.

His only permanent injuries is the loss of vision in his right eye and all the titanium plates in his head. He doesn't have any brain damage and for the most part seems perfectly normal. He is so fortunate that his injuries were not worse. Losing an eye is horrible but considering he is lucky to be alive I think he's doing just fine. If my cousin had not pulled him from the lake he wouldn't even be here with us today.

He has already been discharged from physical therapy and finally after TWO MONTHS got his neck brace taken off. The docs even told him he could go back to work whenever he wants. His last step is some rehab to make sure he can drive a car safely.

I want to thank everyone for the prayers and encouraging words. And also thanks to all the PM's I received.

That's good news E.

Sounds like Robocop has gotten a second chance.

more like the bionic man. He's so lucky. It's almost surreal when I see him walking around and talking. I was expecting much worse outcome that day. Never seen anyone hurt that bad before and hope I never do again.

Thanks for the update. I was wondering the other day how he got.

That is great news. It sounded like it could have gone really bad when it happened.

Great news, man. I've wondered how it turned out.
