Zealot Posted May 22, 2017 Share #1 Posted May 22, 2017 I know we all say this when bad things happen. But it hits home every now and them. Coworker was hit by a car while riding his bike yesterday. I don't have details of the accident. But he is currently paralyzed from the neck down. He is going into surgury with the hope of regaining use of his arms. But prognosis is that he will not walk again. Prayers and vibes please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Square Wheels Posted May 22, 2017 Share #2 Posted May 22, 2017 That's really sad, sorry for your friend. This has really troubled me and my wife and our desire to keep riding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentonMakes Posted May 22, 2017 Share #3 Posted May 22, 2017 So sorry to hear this - I am hoping he can defy the odds and make a full recovery. Even if he somehow makes a miraculous physical recovery, he'll have to recover mentally as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reverend_Maynard Posted May 22, 2017 Share #7 Posted May 22, 2017 Ugh. I once posted in the LF with the exact same title, very similar body. Bad memories... May there be a better outcome in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dottleshead ★ Posted May 22, 2017 Share #11 Posted May 22, 2017 Last night we were driving on the freeway and there was a motionless motorcyclist laying in the middle of the freeway lane. It was horrible. Yeah, be careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zealot Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share #13 Posted May 25, 2017 Surgeons said that the repairs to C6 went well. He's been sedated since. They plan on bringing him around tomorrow to see if any nerve impulses have been restored to his arms/hands. Praying for the best. There were several witnesses to the accident. Apparently he made an inattentive left hand turn into the path of an oncoming car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
