zenmindbeginner Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 I was just talking with Brooks the other week about how I have been in too many accidents and just pretty much hate to drive these days. He ends up doing a lot of driving for his job and is a very skilled motorist. If he just had a broken rib or two, that would suck but be manageable... If he just had a broken leg, he'd be fine too... But it's the broken right hand paired with those two maladies that is what really sux. He's gonna be in a wheelchair with only the use of his left hand and will be hurting when he breathes. I have been feeling horrible since I heard the news, Brooks is truly an amazing person. The good news is that he is strong in spirit and has the necessary drive to complete a full recovery. He's most likely real doped up because of the damaged floating ribs. He's got a sweet laptop, so he will be able to see just how much everybody cares about him here. You guys are the shit! I hope that he experiences Wolverine-like healing ability. I'll bet that broken hand will heal and be better than it ever was afterwards... Now is his chance to perfect his Satriani left handed technique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brooks Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 I am alive! Four screws and a plate in my right tibia, four cracked ribs, staples in left shin and temporary tissue damage in my left hand. I was driving west on Highway 65 (two lane road); a car ahead of me in opposite lane had signal on and stopped to cut across traffic in front of me. I slowed down to 35 and we made eye contact. Car behind her pulled into the shoulder to pass her on the right. He passed her and then made a left directly in front of me. I hit him and flew over his hood, landing on my knees. Could have ended a lot worst, besides the pain the worst part so far has been the catheter. Thanks for the well wishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siaip Ciuvas Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 maaaan this sucks, but all is well that ends well. ...just for the inspiration - on famous Lithuanian basketball player some years ago had a very similar accident - the guy pulled left right through him riding the bike. He was badly injured, missed two seasons, but fully recovered. This year he was a captain of our national basketball team and won bronze in world championship. Get well soon!
