Motorcycle Forum / General / Sportbikes / June 2004BOB NIXON UPDATE 6/27
Got a surprise call this evening... Bob has been awake for the last 8.5 hours, and alert, but he is unable to verbalize or hum. Having his jaw wired shut probably contributes as well. He can respond with yes and no by shaking his head. He is disoriented, doesn't understand why he's in the hospital and is generally irritated as hell. They have to keep him restrained or else he tries to get up! They have taken 1 pacemaker out. The infection has improved. He is strong enough for them to schedule a surgery this Thursday to close up his left arm & repair his left heel. Another CT scan shows nothing. His sisters and the docs are describing Bob as "ornery" - all good signs. I'll wait two days for news like this!

Get well soon Bob. > His sisters and the docs are describing Bob as "ornery" - all good signs. A sure sign that things are slowly returning to normal. I'm not one for praying, but my thoughts have frequently been on Bob, his family and friends, and his recovery a lot these past couple of weeks. I'd like nothing better than to see him back here, pissed off and snarly, someday soon.

Keep it up Bob. >Got a surprise call this evening... > >Bob has been awake for the last 8.5 hours, and alert, ... <snip> That's excellent Steve! I'm sure he'll become more coherent as time marches on and his memory will clear up. Then it'll be "f.cking deer." It sounds like he's getting stronger, too. Fight on Bob! -- John Apple Valley, MN '02 FZ1 '73 RD350 That's good news indeed. I only know Bob from his movie clips and postings and he would not know me at all, but I would really like to see him get well. > Got a surprise call this evening... > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Steve >Got a surprise call this evening... > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > >Steve Outstanding news. I have trouble believing Bob would be ornery though.:-) When do they plan on fixing his feet? Tell Bob when he is not so ornery that Buell Mike is praying for him. Regards Mike > His sisters and the docs are describing Bob as "ornery" - all good signs. I imagine pretty soon he will have them flipping through the pages of the latest bike comparisons while trying to decide on his next bike.... - Kurt |
