A positive result out of what could have been tragedy.

Shaun still faces a 12 hour operation soon. Not sure what on.

Thanks to all on here who sent positive thoughts.

This from Saturday

Hi there,

Just got some orders from the man himself, Have been told to post on just about every bike forum to give everyone a HUGE thankyou for all the Help, Wellwishes, Cards, Visits and the rest. He is totally humbled by the amount of support he has received. He cant wait to get back on the net and stir up sh*t, but as you can imagine is wanting to put all his energy into repaired and spending time with all of us. This was all i could remember as Shaun was a bit gabby todayand was talking 120mph so a pick the best bits!

Thanks

Anj

(Shaun's stepdaughter)

That's GOOD NEWS! :clapping: :clapping:

It's obvious his competitive spirit has "kicked in" to the positive side and his being conscious and cognizant and already setting goals is inspiring. What a marvelous bit of news to read on a sunny Sunday morning! :yahoo:

 
Just found out, they are rebuilding his pelvis and the tops of his thighs, 10 hours they reckon! Yeowch! Poor guy. Good luck to him eh?
