I'm Back!!!

Hello to all. Thanks so much for the support that I have received over the past month. This will be short since I still just can use one hand. Everything still looks good, but I won't fly again for at least 6 months probably 9 total. Could have been much worse. Recovery is very painful, but not being able to ride in my truck or my new GT500 is worse. I haven't run out of offers to drive them for me

I'll be lurking mostly and hope to pick up soon where I left off. The meds keep me fairly cloudy still. I've watched more TV and DVD's in the past two weeks than in my life. It could always be worse!

I'll post pictures of everything when I get the clearance. Legal Dept will keep it buttoned up for a while.

Thanks Again Everyone!

LVeillon

I'm new here, but glad you are doing OK. I missed most of last winter due to a doctor running a scope through my colon. It gets to the point when you've about had it with TV.

Yes it sure will be! As soon as I get more mobile and pain-free. I got most of the physical work done on those just before the crash.

Welcome back....

Thank goodness for pain pills.... what a wonderful invention.

Man.... I was sure hoping to see what your Zoo-Dad mod experiment was going to reveal... but hey... I can wait 7 - 9 months to find out... as I have no plans in doing it anyway.

Hey... keep us informed what happens on Opra, Jerry Springer and with Judge Judy!!!!!

If it was the first and only time I would have called it luck(grin), but this makes number three. The first two were attributed to small sprays of lead back in '89 and '91. This one was someone not doing their job and 4 of us nearly died.

We are all glad to be here still and spent ThanksGiving together since it was appropriately titled! This one just hurt a lot more!

Like the saying goes...“There are ‘old’ pilots and ‘bold’ pilots, but there are NO “OLD, BOLD” pilots, just the ones that were properly trained and new their limits".
