My husband, John and I want to send our encouragement. You'll remember John as the guy in the wheelchair watching the races. He had his "big bif" on April 9 and is now working on the ranch. He crushed his tibia and had his shoulder ball joint replaced. When the good doctors said things like,,," you may never...., It might be as long as......., your range of motion may........" Just smile and let them do their job, knowing that you will heal much faster if you avoid all that negative prognosis stuff! We found a positive outlook to be great medicine. Best wishes for a speedy recovery. the wisler family.

I have to share a funny. In the race following Dean's accident his name kept popping up on the electronic timing feild. I commented on this and someone else in the tower noted that the 'spirit of Dean' just refused to leave the track even as we could see the ambulance pulling out the driveway. It really started to be weird as every once in a while Dean's name would jump on the screen. We finally figured it out when we noticed Bob Arnett walking near the detection loop and the transponder in his pocket sending us the signal.

Yeah Ken, he had a bad one. He actually shoved the femur through the hip socket basically shattering the socket and busting the femur. They pulled it all into place with some surgery and later (10 years or so) he finally had his hip replaced. He felt better pretty much 1 week after the surgery and yep, still rallies his 450x all over the hills with the likes of Steve Handl and George Chamarro. He's still going strong at 60+ years old although if ya put him in a big parking lot blindfolded he'll still just walk in a big circle. I guess to some extent or another everybody is doing a big circle in life though... Ryno Um kiddo ... it was actually just one year after the crash that Dad had the hip replacement. I spent many weeks travelling back and forth every day from Choteau to that room on the second floor of the hospital. First for Dad's hip replacement. He was in about five days I think. Then a week later you were installed in the exact same room (after ICU) for a couple of weeks, then to the rehab wing for another week after the brain stem injury wreck in a freaking parking lot! I thought Columbus Hospital should have installed a brass plaque designating it the "Streich Family" hospital room. We certainly paid for it! (well thank God our insurance covered 99% of it)

I knew that really. That's what happens when I am trying to do to many things at once. I was thinking 10 on some work stuff and had it stuck in my brain.
