Bad News, Good News

First the bad news: Dirt Slide, aka the King of Garry Point, was in a serious work place accident yesterday. He was rushed to Vancouver General Hospital where he had six hours of surgery to repair a fractured spine.
The good news: I am just back from visiting him. He can move his legs, so the prognosis for recovery is good. It will be a while before we see him flying again; not being able to fly at NABX this year has his spirits down, but he is hoping to make to Vegas for some recovery time during NABX.

Ken, you are the best:thumbup:. Hope to be flying with you again soon. Heal up fast.

Holy CRAP :wow:

I sure hope he is O.K.

Was this at the golf course job or the Demo job ?

How long will he be in ? Where ? Can we visit ?

Please send him K2's best wishes.

Yikes! I can't imagine a worse "close call" I hope he's OK and makes a full recovery.

Not known, VGH Centenial Pavilion Spinal Unit 983? In couple of days he will be bored mindless. He will probably be glad of company.

Ah... the video makes sense now. So sorry to hear about the accident. Timing sucks, too. I hope for a speedy recovery.

Hate to see a brother of the wind down, best wishes to you and your family. Like they say if it doesn't kill only makes you stronger.
Get well soon.
