30ott6SBT's wife seriously injured
I know this is off the topic of Africa hunting and may be moved but wanted to let all of you know that Scott's (SBT) wife, Pam was in a single car accident last Friday and has undergone major back/neck surgery. Many of you have met Pam in Dallas and she is my favorite girl friend. She is recovering just fine so far but it will be awhile before she's back to her normal self. Her life was definately in jeopardy. Please extend her your well wishes!!
Thanks, John

JudgeGFor those of you who don't know her, Pam is the cat's meow! Dang! I'm glad that she's out of the woods! She's full of piss and vinegar and especially when she's with John's wife, everybody in the room is in trouble.
Get well soon, my pretty lady! Will we see you in Dallas?
JudgeG ... just counting time 'til I am again finding balm in Gilead chilled out somewhere in the Selous.

BigFiveJackPrayers from here too! I don't know the lady nor her husband, but in this electronic
community we have that does not even matter. We pull for each other all the time,
especially when a bad turn comes along.

OH GOD! {Seriously, we need the help.}

eyedocBest wishes for a full and speedy recovery.
We seldom get to choose
But I've seen them go both ways
And I would rather go out in a blaze of glory
Than to slowly rot away!

PalmerVery sorry to hear this. My wife and I pray for her complete recovery.

Into my heart on air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.

Wendell ReichPam is a heck of a woman. She outfished me on the Snake River one day.
I am very sorry to hear this news. I do hope she makes a fast recovery. May she out-fish me again someday.

bwanamrmJohn,
Will keep Pam in our prayers and wish her a speedy and safe recovery!!!! Our best to Scott also... I can only imagine what his life has been like worrying about his better half.
On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

SBTThanks everone for the well wishes and prayers. Pam's Durango slid on black ice, hit a roadside boulder and rolled. She ended up with with her C-4/5 being fractured, her C-5/6 being herniated, her vertabrae jumped and was pinching her spinal cord, and her vetribral artery was pinched off. Things weren't looking good.
But, due to the skillful surgery of Dr. Joshua Beck (formerly of New Jersey), she will be good as new. The crash happended Friday morning, and she walked out of the hospital midday Monday.
We have a lot to be thankful for.

SaeedSBT,
We are all very sorry to hear about your wife's accident, and glad to see she is on the way to full recovery.

yukon deltaWow. That doctor sounds like he is a real pro. It's hard to imagine her walking out of the hospital so soon. Very good to hear that.

jdsWhat great news! (the "walking out of the hospital" part)
Glad to know that she's doing OK . . . Ya'll (that's Texas for "both of you") are in our thoughts and prayers.

And so if you meet a hunter who has been to Africa, and he tells you what he has seen and done, watch his eyes as he talks. For they will not see you. They will see sunrises and sunsets such as you cannot imagine, and a land and a way of life that is fast vanishing. And always he will will tell you how he plans to go back. (author: David Petzer)

JohnCrightonYikes! I'm an x-ray tech and see some pretty bad fractures after car wrecks. Good thing it wasn't higher or she wouldn't have made it. Hopefully she was wearing her seatbelt which mitigated some of the damage. The surgeon sounds like he's a damned good one. You don't a bad one working on your spinal column.
Good to hear she will be ok.
