Blue Power Ranger Down

Terrific news indeed, I'm very proud of Wout and his progress, although I don't know him, we definitely share a kinship that I pray the rest of you never join. Keep plugging away with him and he'll make us even more proud of him. I tell people now how bad I was and most do not believe it, until the wife steps in and let's them know just how bad I was. It scares me when I hear the stories about my recovery, but Wout's progress has given me hope that we will both continue to improve. Although I'm not the first to say it, Welcome Home, I'm sure glad that you made it.

I have been keeping up with this thread from the beginning and I am glad to see that such outstanding progress has been made. Welcome Home!

I, too, have been watching this thread since the beginning. Words are inadequate to describe the joy seeing Wout at home in his porch swing with his Angel's head on his shoulder. He certain is a strong fellow with a wonderful, supportive and loving wife.

Best Thoughts and Prayers on Wout's continued recovery. Amy, if you haven't done so already, please take some time out for yourself. You deserve it!! I'm sure everyone would agree. It certainly sounds like you have a lot of great friends who are supporting the two of you.

From here there's a lot of admiration of the both of you. Take care.

Great News. Welcome Home. Proves what a strong will, great wife, and good friends can do with a little help from up above.

Absolutely fantastic to see Woot home, what a journey you have been through. Hang in there and put the finishing touches on a terrific recovery.

Welcome home and God speed to you on your recovery.

Haven't posted an update for a while. Wout is doing good, gaining more movement in his right wrist, not getting car sick, talking better, laughing more, etc. When he gets his two front teeth replaced he will sound more normal.
Will he ever ride again? Right now he doesn't want to and he would have to regain full use of his right hand before he could even think of it. Amy swears she will never ride again and has both of her bikes up for sale.

Good to hear he is doing better. I might be a little gun shy of riding for a while after all of this.

During my recovery I swore that I would never ride again, but then a funny thing happened I saw a movie. The wife and I went to see Wild Hogs and believe it or not seeing the scenery and the camaraderie of the guys in that movie made me realize something that I love about motorcycling. It sounds corny as hell but it's the truth. I had lost so much of who I was in the crash and if I stopped riding he would have taken that away too. I can't blame Wout for never wanting to get back on a bike, this has been a life altering experience for him, Amy and all concerned. No matter if he ever gets back on a bike or not, I'll never turn my back to a brother and that is what Wout is to me, a brother that belongs to a fraternity that is more dear than motorcyclists, and that being motorcyclists that survived a brush with death. Wout continue to heal and improve, if you ever need anything never hesitate to ask, I/we will be there.

Wilbur, I'll pm my address and phone number in case Wout should ever want to talk to a fellow survivor.
