Another one down

Recently over this last weekend of November 26th, Sunday I was hit by an automobile on our way to Big Bear. Hit by no less a small SUV, this ford was able to get the best of my left hip side,and completely destroyed my yamaha FJR. Because of the many friends that I was surrounded with, I was in good hands while I lay injured.


Luckly our group had various experiences of this type, and quickly helped traffic, notify law enforcement, fire department and dispatched ambulance very quickly. I was un aware of many of the courageous deeds our own members did for me, but I was looked after like angels, caring for a sparrow with a broken wing.

Soon I was transported to Big Bear Medical Center then to Kaiser in Anaheim, where I was being prepared for x-rays and emergency surgery on my hip. Instead of full hip replacement, they were able to salvage most of the intacted hip and leg bone and use screws to secure the fused and fractured area. The doctors will monitor the progression of the hip circulation since many hours were spent in transportation between hospitals. I was released from the hospital last night and will recover over the next many months bed ridden at home.

From this message I want to again thank all the guys who were by my side to help with the EMT's, police and other emergency services that were provided. Also the personal companionship and all the visitations from our members that lifting up my spirit, sneaking in food and deserts, and reassuring my wife that things were going to be ok.

I think we have probably the best group of caring folks I've met to date, and just want to thank personally all of you who are a part of Epicurean Riders!

Sincerely,
