Agree with everyone, this is a very emotional thread to read. God bless and my prayers * wishes for a speedy recovery.

Hey man you hang in there ya hear!
We need all the riders we can get because when we lose a rider we all lose a little something ya know what I mean?

I understand your feeling about the near death thing.
Way back in 1977 while riding dirt bikes me and a buddy had a head on while we where both going about 45-50mph.

I remember thinking I was at home dreaming as I was floating about me and my friend looking down.
Then the next thing I know a cop is asking me if i wanted a smoke.

I have often looked back on that day and wonderd man why me ? why do I get a second chance?
I dont think any of us will ever know that answer all we can do is LIVE every day we have on this earth like its the last.

ENJOY your life love your family and ride on Bro ride on!!

Thanks everyone!

Wellness, strength, etc. have quite a ways to go. My physical strength gets sapped by anything mental, which takes a lot out of me. I can't do many things naturally yet like writing my name and it takes mea moment before typing or writing.I am moving much better, but with a cane. My physical strength is probably %50-55. Mentally I can think about things well but it is hard to get it out. I improve everyday, and the days I do not have therapy or doc appts I try to get around to the hardware or grocery stores, just for small items needed. I've done very little but have had someone come over to help with things everyday, which has helped the wife tremendously.

Mentally, I am still fighting a few things, like what is real, what really happened and some small problems, like occasionally seeing things that ain't there and remembering things that seemed so real but I know were just part of a dream. But I still somehow get it mixed up with reality even though I know it's not real. Strange. I suppose I need a shrink but haven't found one yet. But before I do any real riding or return to work (3 months or so) I will speak to one and work some of this out. And my WORST fear is that I have a flashback of the accident while riding my new sled. Yuck.

Thank God you survived and are going to fully recover

Glad you found God What God desires is a personal relationship with each one of us. Not religion, religion kills! But a relationship with God the Father through Jesus Christ brings life and peace.

Good luck with your new scoot and God bless ya

Mike, I read your post here earlier this morning. That's some story! I sincerely hope your recovery is quick and 100%. It sounds as if you have a very supportive family and circle of friends. My warmest wishes to you and your family!
