I'm starting a new thread about Rob M becasue "I've got bad news" just doesn't cut it anymore.
I'm very happy to report that Rob was in great spirits this morning. He is taking the approach that he got a new lease on life; thankful to be alive and to soon be able to walk again. It was incredible to see him so positive about what happened, and how many good options now lay infront of him. His attitude, more that anything else, is going to be the key to his quick recovery. A great example for us all.
He really is recoverying quickly. Before I left today I saw him, under his own power, move from his bed to the chair beside the bed. It took considerable effort, and clearly a painful move, but he's getting himself independantly mobile again.
Rob asked me to let you all know how much your support means to him. He is deeply, deeply touched by the reponse he's gotten. Without you all, Rob said he wasn't sure how he would have made it (and continue to make it) through this. He is keenly aware of how our community has rallied to his side.
He's read the the orginal post about his accident ("I've got bad news") and the ensuing thread. It's about 14 pages printed out. That really meant a lot to him. He says thank you from the bottom of his heart.
Estimated release from captivity is now Tues/Wed. As soon as he has access to a computer, he wants to starting writing people back to say thank you personally. For now, I get to play messenger.
So, on behalf of Rob, truely thank you.
(He's got his cell if you want to call him)
(If you're going to visit, bring a bag of Doritos. He mentioned missing those).
