Thank you all who called and wrote and otherwise expressed concern and caring for our well-being. i don't think the nurses ever heard a hospital room phone ring that much! unfortunately the rumour that we were sharing the same room is untrue. however yesterday i was cleared by the spine doctors and then cleared by the ankle doctor for crutches.

my first excursion was to visit Gerry and his lovely (and dedicated) wife. They were both in good spirits and express their thanks for all the good wishes and concern people are showing. Gerry was scheduled for his first operation this morning and i am happy to report that it went very well. when I was released today i made sure to stop by one last time to say goodbye. They were both very optomistic and happy that the operation went so well.

in a week or so i will return for my operation and then begin several months of P.T. the road to recovery is long but rest assured you will see both of us at the end of it! i want to again thank all of you for your concern and for the demostration of how tight-knit and truly great the rally community is. Gerry and his wife also express the same thanks for all the kindness, good wishes and good will shown by all you excellent people.

Thanks for the update, James. Glad to hear you're OK -- or at least, well enough to write & so well. We were quite worried for you all on Saturday.

James and Gerry,
I was out of the country while you guys were on the stage(and off) and was quite distraught to hear of the physical misfortunes.

I and everyone at Last Ditch Racing wish you all a speedy recovery and will see you the stages soon!

Cheers! John

RE: hospitals, yuck!

Hi James--

Glad to hear you're out of the woods, so to speak. After our engine blew, I spent much of Saturday afternoon at the spectator area on SS5 hanging out with your Dad. Really enjoyed meeting him, what a character. It was truly chilling to get partial news of your off and medevac. What a relief to get back to HQ and get more cheerful (or at least less alarming) news on how you and Charlie were doing.

Best of luck on your surgery and recovery. We'll be thinking of ya.

Glad it wasn't any worse, glad to see you guys are relatively OK.

Love to see your positive press-on-regardless attitude - we'll see you out there - take care of yourselves and best wishes to a speedy recovery.

Glad to hear everything will be o.k. With everything that has happened in the last 12 months, it was beyond unsettling, to say the least, to come upon your accident on saturday. Paul and I are both happy to hear that things are all right. Can't wait to see you back on the stages!
