Rumors of your demise have been greatly exaggerated.  Welcome back to the world of the living, Mark.  :)

It is damn fine to see you posting up.  Thank you for taking the trouble to post up -from the nurse's station... It's odd, I have carried your story around with me mentioning it to a few friends.  I found myself worrying for a man I have never met.  I'm not really the worrying type so this is even more unusual.  I am relieved to see you post up and wish you a speedy recovery.  

Happy New Year,

Dan

Glad to hear you are up and about. The big GUY up there was watching out for you. I am happy to shear you are starting to mend. Get well and hopefully have a real good new year.

Arnie

Great that you are up and about.  Congratulations.
About that picture..... you've painted a mental image that is more than adequate.  I know you've been lucky to have survived, I don't need to see just "how" lucky, thank you.
Keep mending quickly.

BTW  How badly damaged was the car?  total ?

Cheers,
Arnie

Very nice to read your last post, looking forward to news of your healing and recovery. With a start of the new year like this, you have to think that it can only get better.

Might i suggest you consider purchasing a ticket for this weeks Euro Millions Lottery draw!!

Although it sounds like you a pretty mashed up, you have been rather lucky!

Speedy recovery!  Glad to hear you are OK (ish)

Guess this means you wont be selling your bike.....to soon?  Remember laughter is the best medicine, unless of course you are diabetic!!

A life has been well lived, if you have planted trees under who's shade you do not expect to sit.

I'm told I'm cynical, pessimistic and generally miserable. I say that I'm realistic! The fact that reality sucks is not my fault!

Preliminary findings say it's totalled, but if any of you know about Trabants, I started that way. I plan to drive it as a convertible for a few days though.

FJMonkey - The first meds they put me on were hallucenogenic. When I closed my eyes, all the images were in red and black. Sorry, no white, though. :lol:

I'm still without a password and at the nurse's station. Thanks for your prayers and concern.
