well after 10 weeks of being in the hospital from my wreck that has left me paralyzed i got to come home yesterday.i think the hardiest part was seeing my bike and knowing that my racing days are gone however it is great to be home

Glad you are home. What rehab do they have planned for you?

Todd, good to hear from you. Any prognosis information? Take care man, we're with you.

since i'm fresh out of baylor rehab in dallas, and i had to have another surgery. they got me on home healthcare.there sending a therapist to the kountry to work with me. as far as a prognosis to be as honest as i can i'll never walk agin that was very hard for me to accept. still full of anger. shoot right now i would be tryin to qualify for loretta lynns that was my goal this year. man how things can change in a instant!!!!! please everbody ride carefull

Don't give up on the walking thing just yet. Its one thing to accept reality (which is good) but modern medicine is making some breakthroughs.

A trial run on adult stem cells has cured diabetes in a test group in England.

It may be a few years out, but alot of people are working on the nerve regeneration issue. It's only a matter of time.

Have you studied the Leatt brace that David Bailey is advocating??? Do you think it would've helped in your situation?

i was racing at oakhill mx in decater tx running a fmfhonda of houston winter series and they had a representive for that brace at the track i stop to check it out while waiting in between motos and thought hey thats pretty neat who knows if it would have helpd? your right about medicial science. its hard though!!

I'm with Agent on this one. Don't give up hope and accept the reality. Your life is changing, but it isn't over. Look at David Bailey and others. He's even riding again using a special contraption.
Joe

first, we are all glad you survived the crash. second, our thoughts and prayers are with you through your recovery. as agent and jaws mentioned, medical science is making incredible strides. you're young and so you have decades of breakthroughs ahead of you...i'm confident there will be breakthroughs that will help you.

all the best in your recovery.

Boy, you said a mouthful!

I can't begin to understand what you are going thru.

Kinda makes me feel like a wuss complaining about LA traffic.

I'm sure you've done alot to take care of her, now it's her turn. I'm sure there's no place she'd rather be than by your side.

So, do anything exciting today? What do you do to occupy your time? Gotta be better than LA traffic...

AS

Kountry Boy You are in my thoughts and prayers

Danny

thanks Danny, i cant believe how much my attitude has changed since getting out of the physical rehab. that place was driving me crazy after 9 weeks. next week is really gone hard on me going to trade my crf 250r in for a utility vechicle

I feel for you man

i have a friend that i ride with sometimes who broke both his legs when the throttle stuck on his yz 125


can i ask how you crashed?

Best wishes to you and your family. Stay strong, and never let anyone tell you that you can't do something. Our thoughts are with you, and a big thank you to your wife for staying strong as well, and being there to support you through it all.
