LOL! Dee, hope you're up on your feet soon. We have hotel reservations down in Newport this coming weekend and thought about coming by to see you or meeting for dinner if you're up and around. Brian is also on the injured list and not for sure if he is going to be able to get around this weekend. Had a nasty crash on Saturday (Hope this doesn't set you back even further Dave;) )He flew over the handle bars and went end over end with his quad landing on him each roll. Took him to ER and nothing broke but has lots of soft tissue damage. Mostly his chest and rib area and sprained knee and ankle. His back is all road rash but he's not complaining about that. He's on pain meds but they aren't working real well. His quad is pretty bad- not sure if he's going to be able to fix it yet or not. Oh, and he wasn't being stupid when it happened. Went down a steep hill that he's done lots of times before and the ground gave way underneith him sliding him to the side into a deep rut and causing him to roll. Sorry so long and to hijack thread but I know Dee is keeping an eye on this thread. We'll be thinking of you all day and will try and call you tonite. Everyone have fun at Lopez and we'll see ya soon.

Holy cow!  What is up with all you SCCampers.  Maybe w should stay away!

EVERYONE!!  Get well soon!

I have to be carefull how much garbage I give Brian over this since he's still in pain. I keep telling him thoes quads will get you killed! He needs to go two wheeler!
 
Heck, after the terrible two wheeler accident we had Memorial Day weekend, who am I to talk? I am not sure if anything is safe to ride. At our age it takes  a lot longer to heal. Hopefully he'll be better soon, we're putting together another Mojave ride on Veterans day! I think I am going to take E.M.T Training in the fall!

I keep telling him with age comes a cage. Let's get rid of the quads and buy a rhino.:U On a serious note- EMT training is not a bad idea!

[kimrb266]

Dee - I've been praying for you.   Eventhough, we don't camp by you, I know that this trip won't be the same without you there.  It will feel like we are missing a piece to the puzzle.  I know you will be there in spirit.

I will put your shirts in the mail after I return from Lopez.

[griffsdad]

Kristy, sorry to hear about Brian and his quad. Hope he heals well soon. Maybe it is time for a Rhino. All the SCCampers should be on extra alert, since we are all going on the disabled list - Dee, Wayne, Brian and his quad. Here's to a safe camping trip. By the way, we are still interested in renting a boat for water skiing.

Here's to a great big fire in Dee's honor; let the blue bombers flow especially for Lisa and Kim - we will have video, drunk calling Dee and Brian, and the crowning of a new poker champion. Cowabunga dudes and dudettes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey ya'll -

Dan F. just called and Dee made it through surgery with flying colors.  She's awake and very cold (from anesthesia) and all the signs are there that they look for after surgery to show that she is recovering well.  I told Dan to keep us updated.

:-) Kwisti

To Kristi - OH MY!!!  Tell Brian we hope he feels better soon - and YES AGE and CAGE go together very well!  He's one lucky guy - glad it was not worse.  Enjoy Newport!

 Yea for Dee, Hip,hip,horray! Now we just need to wheel her out of the hospital into an ambulance and  drive up to Lopez! There she can be taken care of by everyone and no more pain!

[JohnandLeann]

Excellent!!  Glad to hear Dee is doing well!!  Prayers do help.  See you folks at Lopez.

Brian.........you' have a hard time staying right side up.....I told you months ago that you should get a dune-buggy.

Sure hope you aren't hurt too bad. I know that soft-tissue injuries can often be more painful than broken bones.

I say we use Dee's fire-starter on those quads........ :swear:

THANKS FOR THE VISUAL!!!   :eyecrazy:  :eyecrazy:

Hi all!
We've been completely out of touch lately, my bad.
Dee, we're glad to hear your surgery went well and we wish you a speedy and full recovery.
Brian, we hear you're on the mend too, hope all is well.
Sadly, we will not be at Lopez. The promotion process continues on my end. The examination phase has been completed and I was fortunate enough to make the top ten.  Final interviews with the Sheriff are scheduled for this week while we should have been with you guys. Wish me luck and cross your fingers, I am up for lieutenant.
Hope you have fun and we're sorry to be missing.
Regards,
Kevin & Todd
