So -- have you, Deb, or anyone else -- got an idea of what mailing address I should use to send something to Al?  I don't know if I'd be better off sending to the house -- or to the hospital.  I don't want to send it to Chatham City hosp. if he's transferring to someplace else in a few days.

Al, if you're reading this -- don't get excited, it's not that super-duper a surprise.  Just something to let you know we're thinking of your sore self.  Last time I threw a bike down the road I got five broken ribs, a broken scapula, and left some meat on the highway.  I know pretty well how much that hurt -- and I hope to heck that you're able to shake it off very soon.  Nancy and I send our best wishes for you and your family.

Al -
What more to say than "Heal well and quickly - hopefully with minimal pain".  Let me add my voice to those who said that you are missed.  And I know your boys miss you, too.

And thanks to Todd and Deb for being good friends to Al and to all of us.  I know he greatly valued your visit and we all value your post to let us know what's REALLY going on.

I'm SO thankful that the outcome looks good for the Ol' Boy - we DO miss you!

Al, Do what they tell you .. don't push things.

Yeh, like that's gonna happen.


Al, take care buddy, we all missed you on the Starting Line.  Get better and hope to see you at the June meet.


Deb, thanks for the great information.

Get well soon Al, your back up starter did a fine job, but there's no one that can do it like you.  See you soon in the near future.  Thanks to Deb and Todd for the updates.

  Al, as one bike rider to another, man you are one lucky Dude. You experienced what we all fear as bike riders on the street. Hey man, my belts were loose all last weekend. No one can tighten belts like you. Get your ass back up and over to the meet. LOL We all Love You Man.

Steve said what we all feel ... everyone missed Al ... He discovered low tire pressure on my rear tire last year ... saved me from what could have been an embarrassing and painful moment ... Joe

Al,
Hope there is a little bit of that surprise left when you get home.  With your growing little ones I kinda doubt you'll get any. I hope you heal fast and hope to see you at the next meet.

Joel, Lucy and the boys.

Quick day old update on Al. We're waiting for today's call back from Lisa. As of yesterday they were intending to move Al out of ICU to room 1140. When we saw him Monday they had him on Morphine which seemed OK at the time. However, his night was miserable with a lot of pain and hallucinations. Lisa's not sure if it's the meds or the concussion that's making him confused where she's had to explain to him more then once why he was there. Tuesday night was pretty much a repeat. They were going to try to get him on some other meds Wednesday.

I have addresses for him but want to comfirm with Lisa which is best to use and if there's any new guess on how long he'll be in the hospital.

That's it for now, I'll let you know when I hear something new.
