Dr. Rich
Arrested Development
My wife and I just returned from seeing Michael. If you were wondering his real name is Michael O'Keeffe. He is in room 301 in the Tahoe Tower at the Renown Medical Group on 1155 Mill Street, Reno Nevada 89502 . The # for the hospital is 775 982.4100.
His injuries are as follows:
Multiple broken ribs
Major damage to his left rib cage causing hemorrhaging. They have inserted a shunt (tube) to drain off the fluid. He does not have a punctured lung. The lung collapsed due to the hemorrhaging.
He has damage to multiple vertebrae. The protrusions on many of the vertebrae (the wings) are broken off.
He has no other known broken bones and no major lacerations.
For a guy that drove his bike directly over a cliff, he is in remarkably good shape.
He is on multiple pain killers with a morphine drip. He pushes the little black button and he gets juiced!
The accident... He does not remember missing the turn but does remember hurtling down the hillside. If you want particulars of the accident you can read Mark's (Bokerfork) description.
Although sedated he is in very good spirits with most of his pain emanating from his back.
While we were there Ray (Silent) drove up from San Jose. Michael was very pleased to see him.
Raclow called while we were there and I do believe that he will remember the call.
I left him with an older laptop so that he can start posting his comments on the forum. I think it may be a day or two before that happens. He is supposed to be in the hospital for about a week.
As you can see he hasn't lost his warmth and compassion for those who drove hours to see him
