John Tate in hospital.

[firko]

I spoke to Joan over the weekend and he was indeed his usual talkative self. They've got him up walking around with a Nanna frame and while he's in a fair bit of pain, I think he's pretty grateful that the results of the accident weren't worse and that he can still walk. I hope you're up and at 'em soon Joanie.

John's got a laptop, I've reset his password, and I reckon he should be back online soon.

Well....what can I say.....thanks for all the concern/get well soon stuff. I'm feelng alot better now, my left pelvis is screwed together with a titainiun plate, my cracked right pelvis, cracked L2/3/4 and cracked right shoulder will heel normally. I'm not driving the nurses nuts yet and they are looking after me really well. Everyones been great. Hopefully I'll be out in a few weeks....I was walking on some crutches today, anyway I'll keep you all posted....btw....they have some great drugs in here....those green sticks the ambos have are useless. Cheers.

Early days.......glad to see you back in the land of the living.

 Pity Ji isn't around any more, you could talk about your titanium pelvis.
Take care.

Glad to hear you are recovering John, it's nice to see your name pop up here again.

We understand it was a nasty fall so it's really great to hear your injuries, as bad as they are, weren't worse.

How long before you're out of the hospital?  And how much longer after that before you expect to be operating normally (working, riding etc)?

Cheers
Craig

There booting me out today, I've mastered the crutches and can wipe me bum so they said see ya later. I'ts still a long road to recovery but I'm sure I'll get there, thanks again for all the kind words.

[YZ250H]

Good on you John.  There's nothing quite like your own bed and your own dunny 

[TM BILL]

Excellent news mate  please resist the urge to get back to work too soon though , its hard to do FA all day but its better that than overdoing it .

The boys will be doing a great job at the shop so leave em to it 

Time invested in recovering quietly now will pay dividends down the track .

Take care mate will call you this week 

[Davey Crocket]

Back home now, it's hard yakka but all positive.....it ill be interesting how long I can go without going down to the shed and checking out the bikes....maybe we should get that tosser Tom Waterhouse to put the odds on

[suzuki59]

Good news John.
Mike Felton wanted to pass on his regards to you also.

I am also pleased to hear that you have finally been taught,after all these years, to wipe your backside.

I broke both Femur’s when I was 18, twas 3 months before I could put weight on them again.
I was working on my bike from a wheelchair during that 3 month period.

Doctors gave me another 6 weeks to learn how to walk again before I had to go back to work. I mostly waddled.
Took about 3 weeks before I found the strength to kick start my bike and go for a ride, a ride which I had to keep secret from my employer and my Mum.
