Hans, keep this topic updated. We are all here 100% for you.

Big question right now is what hospital/State are you transferring to?

Things could be worse - A 16 year old young lady from my 'hood is currently down in LDS Hospital suffering from a spinal injury due to a car wreck. Dusted one of her vertebra. She has a little movement in her right leg, and some feeling in her left. I know somewhat about your plight.

Are you in one of the hospitals in SLC? Why didn't I see you on the local news?? lol

If you're in SLC, let me know - I'll sneak a contraband Big Mac in on behalf of your friends @ BC.
lol. Yeah I will be down in the university of utah medical center tomorrow to get a preconsultation or something with a sports medicine doc down there. I will probably return to u of u to have surgeries done whe the swelling goes down.

Sorry to hear about this, bud. Have they indicated how long you may need to be in the hospital?

Wishing a speedy recovery for you.
I will need to have multiple surgeries, I'm not sure how many. As I just mentioned I go down to Utah to talk to a specialized doctor tomorrow that does sports medicine and I guess we go from there. I should be able to put some weight on it after the first surgeries to make it possible to walk easier on the crutches.

Hans, if there are good looking nurses. Be sure to "drop" objects so they can bend over and pick it up, be sure you throw it the right distance so she'll have to turn around and bend over then snap a pic and post on BC.

Well, there is a big student nursing program at the college of southern idaho where I live and there were a few hotties but they only work from 4-8 part time

Wow. This does sound pretty serious. I still can't believe it.

Glad to hear back from you, though....many of us have been waiting for you to post more info.

Again, here is hoping all goes well and that you will soon be back boosting around and terrorizing the good folks of Twin Falls.
