Sarah here scribing for Dale.

Thank you for your concern and support. Surgery is done and we're just taking care of post-op stuff. Should be home soon.

Dale

Ok, Sarah here:
Dad was tickled by all your messages I think they're what are keeping him most entertained during his long days in the hospital. So thank you for that. When the accident happened he was going to pick up a part for his truck. When I heard about the accident, here was the Order of business: arrange to get the part, find out the damage to the yellow truck, update the forum. Needless to say he has lots of fun and draws lots of inspiration from all of you. As I was reading your well wishes he was like "oh yes, he's the medical researcher" or "he's the young guy on the forum".

Mom is an RN so dads been watched over since the accident. She's only left the hospital once since Thursday. He's got s good team and a good head on his shoulders. Thanks for everything.

Sarah

EXCELLENT NEWS.
I AM A FORMER RN, RM, RPN AND SOME OTHER BITS....... So now I know he is in very good hands, I can just say we can all sigh a small sigh of relief.

Get well soon, but respect your injuries.

Hi Sarah...

Thanks so much for updating us on Dale's condition. It sound like things are going pretty well, considering the extent of the injuries.

All through the ordeal it appears Dale seems to have kept his priorities straight... parts... fix yellow truck... update forum. :lol:

Dale, we look forward to hearing from you when you're able to get back here...Get well soon!

Thanks for the updates Sarah. I feel like everyone on there is kinda like family. Glad to here your doing good Dale. Your wife as a RN should really help with a good recovery. When you feel up to it I would like to come see you and your trucks, it would be a great first 2 hr highway drive for my GMC and see your sick burb.

Same here... I'd love to join you. That is, when Dale is up to it.

A cruise to the Old Auto show in Bothwell would kill two birds with one stone, but that's not until august. Maybe some other members would join in?

"Mercy sakes alive... we've got ourselves a convoy!" :lol:

I think that's a great idea, I'll be lobbying hard for him to get on board! there's always the backroads if you don't want to hit the highway.

I'll hope to get him to Bothwell. Bothwell is a very long push for us for the two days, which dad likes to do. So we'll hope for a quick recovery. If anything, we go to bothwell. We were also hoping to go to plunkett's show, which is a good mid-point for all. This will all depends on dad's recovery.

Mom is looking after dad but me working on the truck might make him ill!


Dad's coming home today, whether doctors agree or not.

Thanks for keeping all us truck guys in the know.

Im envious in a way, awhile back I broke my foot, had to stay home. I was able to read through dozens and dozens of builds.

Always a silver lining in the clouds.

I hope your dad makes a speedy recovery, his work he's shown on here is simply magic! I'm an hour away and last year wanted to meet at Bothwell but was unable..I wish him well!

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
 
John a convoy would be great!! But the Bothwell weekend I have my annual camping with my boys. We will figure something out. Hope Dale got home today and is feeling good.

Hi all!

Sarah here. Just thought you'd enjoy a pic of the balloons I got dad. He had a good giggle at those. Thanks for all the kind thoughts and prayers! Dad's doing well. Sitting up more and more every day.

thinking about this build these werent the updates I expected when I clicked after a couple months. glad to hear it wasnt more serious (its serious enough without being more serious) and glad to hear he is healing and is home.

Boy oh boy things happen so fast and do so much damage. Glad to hear he is on the mend.

My wife had a knee replacement and 5 weeks later fell and broke the hip above the new knee, and had to replace that hip. I say this only to tell Sarah to check your mother to make sure she is ok. Care takers some times tend to get run down and need relief.

Get well soon. Keep on keepin on

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
 
Hi guys. First a very big thank you to everyone that posted their well wishes over the last few weeks.
I'm finally up and getting around a bit but at a much slower pace. My recovery has been slowed somewhat because 32 years ago I broke my neck and have been in a wheelchair since. Adding two broken hips on top has caused some complications but I'm making forward progress so I will get back in shape soon.

The yellow 67 pick up suffered a lot of bent sheetmetal but no structural damage. My buddy has already stripped the front clip and now we are waiting for parts to arrive. Once we get the parts the rebuild should go quickly. The motor transmission and rear end all filled up with water so we had to drain them all. We changed the oil in the motor 6 times to get all the water out. I'll get pictures of the truck next time I get a chance.

That's all for now. I'll update again soon.

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
 
Good to hear from you again Dale. Glad to hear that you are making a good recovery. You'll have the 67 back up and running in no time with the skills that you have. Can't wait to see you progress on the twisted sister soon in the future. Hope you have a fast full recovery and can get back doing what you love in the shop soon

Good to hear your on the mend. Sounds like you have some great friends and family too! I hope the rebuild on the '67 goes well.

Glad to see you're getting back in the hustle and bustle of things. Its hard to keep a good man down.
