    Rider Down:Deceased

    I just learned through Facebook that cywelchjr was in a bike accident a few days ago. This is the message I saw on his FB page apparrently posted by his wife..........
    Cyrus was in a motorcycle accident last week. His bike came home today. He came home yesterday. He is in lots of pain. Six broken ribs. Broken shoulder and hand. Internal injuries too. He is in lots of pain.
    Hope to hear from you soon my friend.


    Sorry, it wasn't on his page it was sent in a message to me from his FB account.

    Thanks Greg for the info.

    Dang Cy, sorry to hear about this! I thought you had had an incident earlier this year with a concussion or something, can't recall exactly but remember you saying that your mental faculties were not fully functioning?

    Glad to hear that you didn't get TOO hurt...ribs and extremities, not back/spine/head! Hope the bike wasn't too banged up either?

    Hope to hear from you soon.

              Cy got hit in a parking lot a few month ago, correct? Didn't he just get the bike back together? Not good!

              Heal fast Cy.

                I just did some FB snooping and it appears this was no minor accident.

                    The road to recovery can be long

                    Cy, very very sorry to hear of your accident. Brings back some painful memories. You got much worse of it than I did I believe, I feel for you sir!!! Good news is your home!! Those hospitals suck for resting!! Alarms going off all night, found out I had sleep apnea, so I would fall asleep my O2 level would drop and the alarm would go off, soon as it woke me up, the O2 went back up. I had Dbeardslee bring me earplugs, figure let them listen to the dang thing, I was gonna sleep! Nurses waking you up to take your blood, just do it while I sleep, why do I need to be awake for it!! That and the food, how can you screw up a grilled cheese?? Home is MUCH better for resting and recovery!!!

                    Just kick the pain drugs as soon as you can, they only keep you down. Get as active as they will let you as soon as they will let you.

                    And remeber, when you find yourself watching Jerry Springer, or now Maurie, and feeling entertained.....it is definitely time to find your way to the senior center to referee shuffle board matches....anything but that stuff!!!

                    Hope you heal quickly!! and that your luck changes quickly to!!!
                    Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

                          Glad he's home, not that he's not hurting, wishing you heal and the bike damage is fixable. Main thing is you get well, then get compensated.
                          All the best.
