Thank you everyone for the kind words. I am feeling better every day. I am in the Bumrungrad hospital in Bangkok. It is supposed to be one of the best in the world. My father put me in one of the better rooms so I have a guest bed and a kitchen table and a couch and a small kitchen it is really nice. It is too bad I cant get out of bed. My Dad is here with me. He was in India when it happened. I don't remember calling him but I did. He was on a plane in less than 4 hours. I don't remember anything about the accident. I hit my head on the windshield and busted my right eye pretty good. My head is OK but I lost most of my memory for the entire day. I have no idea why I was downtown and I don't even remember leaving my apaprtment. I did find a map in my pocket for Central depertment store which is just down the road from where I was hit so I guess I was christmas shopping. I am stuck here in Thailand untill march but I will be home for the whole month of march. I will be able to walk by then (with a cane) so that will be a real treat. Only 7 days and I would pay anything just to stand up. Thank you all agin for the kind words. i will keep up here the best I can.

Josh,

Years back, my wife shattered her right wrist rollerblading.  She fully recovered, thankfully.  I told her about your situation and she said the main thing to do is stick to the therapy regimen 100%.  I'll put you on the prayer list at church.  Just remember each day that passes is one day closer to you getting out of there.  Holler if you need anything, as we can mail you stuff.

Wow Josh, you almost got killed!!!!!!  We are all glad you are
keeping in touch with us and you will heal.
          Now maybe we can send you our coin mech.'s to re-build
on your kitchen table in your spare time  '>

         Keep your chin up Buddy !

[dr galaga]

I hope you have a speedy recovery.  Hang in there!  '>

I'm sure everyone else may know and I probably miss it somewhere, but I'm curious what it is you do? Does your job carry you around the world or just vacationing. Hope I'm not being nosey. Anyway I'm glad your feeling better,  you're in our prayers.

Ok here is the story. Kate and I split up earlier this year. When that hapened I moved back to Ohio. I was waiting for my slot as an FAA air traffic controller. I really wasn't looking forward to the job. Meanwhile my Dad had started an IT services company in Singapore and he decided to offer me a job. I of course took the job. I worked in Singapore with my Dad for a few months and then we opened an office in Thailand. I decided to move here to thailand to run this office. This is not a perminant job for me. It is more of a resume builder and an adventure for a few years. So it won't be long untill I am back buying machines.

Hi Josh

it was me who mentioned Kate. I'm sorry if I hit a raw nerve. Particularily at this time when you need as many calm nerves as possible.

Blimey its not been a good year for you. But you know what they say "things can only get better."  I had my bad year 11 years ago. Hit rock bottom and nothing could get worse. A decade on and I am onto chapter two with two kids a wonderful wife and an occasional black day.

Cheer up mate. We are all thinking about ya. Once you are back on your feet and if you fancy a few days R & R over here in the UK I have a spare room with your name on it and a car if you need it to go exploring. Just remember though, we drive on the right....no the wrong side of the road.

Thanks buddy. I might just take you up on that sometime. Yeah they drive on the wrong side of the road here like you. I think that might be why I was hit.

It would be worse if there was a Vendo across the room that needed work.
Take care and get home soon - March will be here soon!
