Hope you are better soon!

Dave - sorry to hear about your accident. I hope you are better soon.

 

[mas]

Best of luck for a speedy recovery, Dave.

Get well soon. Unlike a bicycle accident where parents often say you must get right back on-don't get back on the water skis.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Dave.

Hey, just a thought. Someone wasn't video taping you for a Youtube clip when the accident happened, right??? ; )

 

[JanT]

Dave,

So sorry to hear about your accident and hope you are back on your feet soon. Stay off the skis in the future though. Remember, you're 39 now instead of 29.

 

[rosepointe]

Ditto to all the other good wishes for you. Miss your wonderful posts.

In several months once you are somewhat on the mend but not completely better start thinking of timeshares you can visit just to enjoy the change of pace without doing much activities. For example, even in a wheelchair, Marriott Oceana Palms north of Palm Beach is easy to get to because you can drive up several floors to your handicapped parking space, get out next to the elevator, and zip up to your room. E.G. - not a lot of walking!! Recouping with a view of the ocean might be something to plan for. And, probably for the next year or two, always use a wheelchair at the airport - it is really easy, the porters can use the tips and you also go to the front of the line. It absolutely takes the main stressor out of traveling and helps you to not be homebound!! Also start looking on Craig's List - you might find good used walkers - if you have a two story house you will need one upstairs and one downstairs and for the road. Also look into other gizmos such as a pincher on a three foot pole that allows you to pinch things and bring them to you. In other words, you are sitting somewhat up in bed and want to bring that magazine or book to you - just use your pinchers! While it might be too early to do much, it is not too early to dream and plan. Best of luck. Janette aka Funtime

Dave, Want to add my get wells to the crowd. Sounds like a bad accident and a long recuperation, but great news that you will be up and about within a few months. Calgal (Jan)

Hi Dave ... So glad to hear from you. Here I thought you were away on a major duplicate bridge tournament. It certainly sounds like a serious accident and my prayers are with you for a speedy recovery. Best wishes from Canada!

Dave-

I broke my ankle 3 years ago and the forced "rest" was such a trial. It sounds like your escapade was quite a mishap. Hope you recover full "range of motion". I rigged up all kinds of things as being on the internet was one of the only passtimes I had til I was more mobile.

Happy healing!

Dave,

You are a living legend among the TS community. Especially here in the land of Marriott.

Wishing you a fast and speedy recovery so you spread you philosophy once again!

 

[thinze3]

Just like Dave

Retire with health,
Move to the place I fell in love with while timesharing,
Travel the world to new and exciting places,
Play bridge with my friends - - - - in another state!,
Take cruises too long to count the days on both hands,
Challenge my grand kids to water skiing activities,
Rest for 3 months,
then ... Start all over again! :whoopie:

When I grow up I want to be just like Dave. Good to hear from you, buddy.

 

[Dave M]

Thanks so much for all of your wonderful and creative wishes for my recovery. It's going well and I really do expect to be walking again within a month.

And yes, I do love my retirement from work, not from enjoying life!

Hi Dave

Hope you are up and about soon. You must be missing those bridge tournaments!

Hi Dave, Sorry to hear about your accident, but glad you are on the mend. Love your attitude, you are correct if you are expected to make a full recovery it is just a blip on the radar of life. Heal fast, you are missed when you are even slightly AWOL.

 

[marcmuff]

Wishing you a speedy recovery, Dave!

Sorry about the accident. Enjoy the life.

Dave,

Glad to hear you are recovering so well. I figured the "quiet" from you just meant that you were dancing on some cruise ship on your way to a fabulous port somewhere. Hopefully that is exactly where you will be very soon.

Dave...speedy recovery...I gave up watersking and snowskiing long ago. Things in the Boston area (and Lexington) are great except for the Red Sox!

[Quilter]

Very sorry to read about your accident. Wishing you a speedy recovery and hoping to finally get to meet you next April on HHI. We can go for a walk on the beach so you can show off your new moves.

I think we all miss your voice of reason. Time to catch up on your reading and wishing you a full recovery!!
