My timeshare Angel!

I'm alive and doing well....

I departed on July 24 for a houseboat-waterski trip with my kids and grandkids and had a bad waterski accident. (I should know better at age 68!) Surgery - delayed while trying to find the right surgeon (700+ miles away) - has been followed by a long recovery period. I still need full-time care and am not permitted to sit upright and won't be for another month or so.

However, I expect (and the surgeon expects) a full recovery and I hope to be walking by late October and running again within a year.

I'll be around only occasionally for a while longer because typing on my laptop doesn't work very well from my prone position!

Believe me when I say I'm all smiles. This whole experience is but a tiny pinhead on the blessing of life and the journeys we have the good fortune to enjoy.

Heavens to Betsy -- how scary for you! Maybe one of your kids could type on your laptop while you dictate a message to us Tuggers every now and then. We are your family and worry about our 'relatives'. So glad to hear the recovery is coming along well.

guess the Sunset Grille will finally put in that elevator?

Glad to hear you're better, altho you've been thru a lot, and I'm sorry for that.....take care... need anything, call us.....we're close by. best, Marty

Dave,

Maybe it's time to get a Tablet. Would be easier than a laptop to help you navigate as you recover.

Sounds like you're in competent medical hands and thank goodness for the excellent prognosis.

Sending a collective hug from the many Tuggers who miss you and hold you in the highest regard.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Waterskiing at 68? Gotta say I admire that.

Hi Dave, so sorry to hear about your accident! If you are here in SC, I'd be glad to help out in any way I can. Get well quickly!

 

[buzzy]

Feel better!

I am one who missed your input too! All the best to you in your recovery!

 

[Laurie]

Whew, wow - get all better, and upright, soon!

(Glad I saw this thread, b/c I rarely read this forum.)

Keep us posted on how you are - and where you are!

Sorry to hear of your accident. Get well soon! That story makes me glad I decided NOT to go water skiing last year when I had the opportunity and was really tempted. My Dad water skied with us until he was in his 60's - now I have more respect for what an accomplishment that was. I haven;t even tried since I was about 48 as I recall. And it REALLY wore me out.

Again, get well soon. We all miss your contributions.

 

[SueDonJ]

My goodness, that sounds terrifying! Hope you're finding enough to keep your mind busy, Dave, while your body is on the mend. Godspeed, and best wishes.

 

[Nancy]

Get better soon

Sorry about your accident. Hope you are better soon.

Wow- so sorry to hear about your accident, but glad the prognosis is good!
Tell the grandkids they'll have to help you with your therapy when you are able to start to exercise - they're always the best motivators!

 

[3kids4me]

OMG Dave!! So sorry to hear about this! If there is anything at all we can do for you, please let me know...it would be my pleasure after what you did for Rachel and me several years ago.

Where are you recovering? Glad that the prognosis is good.

Dave I came out of the woodwork to wish you a speedy recovery, I got to give you credit for water sking at 68. Next time you do something that is so adventurous please remember your age, You may not feel it but the numbers are going up.
Feel better
