Hey Guys,
Although many of us on this site have not met, and we really do not "know" each other in the traditional sense, we do develop a certain bond over time by yakking the way we do and how we give each other grief. So when JC went down--I just didn't feel right all week. However, I was a bit hesitant to call into his hospital room as I felt it might be an intrusion. So I checked in with AK first, who has become good friends with JC, and he clued me in a bit on JC and felt it would be no problem. So I called in to his hospital room early this evening, and does JC answer the phone? Hell no!!! "West Coast Girl answers the phone!!!" [smiley=gorgeous.gif] She was just about to start reading various letters and posts to JC.
So that will give you an indication of what's goin on there--many of his friends are keeping him company [smiley=gossip.gif] giving his wife much needed breaks to take care of herself and other important family business.
As far as how the accident went down, I'll leave that for JC to fill you all in on the details. From his explanation though, it appears he had just enough time to look [smiley=wreck.gif], say UhOh [smiley=uhoh.gif] and then [smiley=stars.gif]. Like AK said, he's got quite a bit of mending to do with the most serious being his pelvis. He's not in much pain however due to the wonders of morphine. He thinks he will be transfered to a hospital in his home town over the weekend--perhaps as early as tomorrow. Due to the pelvis injury, he will then remain in the hospital for several months [smiley=confused5.gif]. Yes you saw correctly, several months [smiley=confused5.gif]. "Several months, JC, you're gonna be goin crazy!!" And he replied "Nah, I've got friends stopping by all the time psycho." That's right, JC and his wife certainly love each other [smiley=love_3.gif], but she can't be there 24/7, so she's fine with his "friends" like "West Coast Girl" being there to "kiss the boo-boo to make all bebber!" [smiley=love_7.gif]
I asked JC how he felt about others from this site checking in with him from time to time and if he would find that to be an intrusion. He said that would be no problem at all. If he happened to be tired [smiley=zzz.gif] at the time, or a bit too "relaxed" from morphine[smiley=sleeping.gif], he would let you know and to call back another time. I suspect he also might not be that interested in talking if nurse [smiley=kiss2.gif] is there to give him his daily [smiley=bath.gif]. Can't ya just picture the grin on his face "Can't talk now psycho.......um......ummm.....I've got....um....oh yeah, some important medical tests and stuff to do right now" as he closes the curtains that suround his hospital bed [smiley=vrolijk_2.gif]
So if you call to check in on our "patient," make sure you report back here on what "friends" he's got there reading his mail, fluffing his pillows, and changing his TV channels for him! Hell, I told him [smiley=worthless.gif] That's right, we want to see just how far he's gonna milk this thing! Hey, no kidding though, JC said he's looking forward to getting back on line [smiley=computer.gif] in a couple of weeks and he's already asked that pics of his bike be taken so he can post them--Can you believe it! Only JC!! And you all think I'm psycho?
I'll ask AK to get the contact information after JC gets settled in at the hospital in his home town, and those that are interested can "Private Message" AK for the info.
