This is amazing, been praying for John and his family every day since I heard. It is a miracle and it was not his time. Now it's time for recovery, keep us posted. We will be waiting at the next stop John!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaDoc Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 Amazing news. As i kept saying, john always shows up at the next intersection. I guess since we already have confirmation this doesnt matter much. But I looked through some contacts, and saw one of my junior from med school days is currently doing critical care fellowship in CCF. Havent talked to this guy in over 10 yrs lol no txt no call nothing, and today morning i send him facebook message and asked if he has access to care for john,to give some info prognosis/ current state/ and plan for transfer out etc. More than likely he wont reply since he probably completely forgot who i am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DerekClouser Posted July 22, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 Just got off the phone with John. We talked for about 15 minutes. He talks fairly normally, you can tell he struggles a bit in remembering certain things. He is rehabbing and learning to walk again. He said yesterday he walked 2 times and was exhausted and that was the worst part. Definitely a miracle. So happy to hear his voice and talk. He doesn't remember anything from this entire ordeal which is probably for the best but he does remember before and after, so memory doesn't seem to affected all that much. He struggles very occasionally in his speech but I'm sure that will fade as time goes on. John, you truly are a fighter. We all knew you could do it. I also asked when he expected to be back on a motorcycle and he is shooting for a month hahahaha. Now that's a true biker for life. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tonik Posted July 24, 2017 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 Just finished my visit. Short version. F'ing miracle. Long version... he is totally there, remembers our ride the day before. Remembers specifics of the fz6 and who he knows had one. Details about me, my son...everyone. Maybe a tiny bit slow remembering really complicated words.... like medical terms. But that is a maybe. He always had a bit of that style in the way he talked, he would pause to make sure he was using the exact word he wanted. He is moving any second now to Metro for rehab. Both physical and cognitive. 8 days without moving creates a fair amount of physical issues that you just need to exercise through. Any cognitive rehab will be based on an evaluation. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkow97 Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 So glad to read all of this. Awake and "a little spacey" is so much better than struggling to breathe on his own! The human body is remarkable and sometimes mysterious. Hopefully John's body just needed a little time to rest, and now body and mind are ready to fully recover. It sounds like he's well on his way.

what Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 Glad everything turned out well. After my dad had his strokes last year he had some memory/cognition problems for a while but that has gotten better over time. It takes a little while but the brain adapts. Hopefully the same will be true for John. Fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
