Gentlemen we can rebuild him. We have the technology. He’ll be better, faster, stronger, and more Star Treky than before. . . [cue $6 mil Man music] ---

**Gr8Kat** , please let me know if he’ll be in the hospital for a while and I’ll go visit him. I drive past Salem Hospital twice a day and I know that a hospital stay can be the most boring experience in the world (they nevr give you quite enough drus). Ditto is he needs milkshakes or other goodies to supplement the hospital food. You can e-mail me if you don’t want this info on the boards. Please do let me know if I can help–he’s a good kid. ---

That is terrible news. (The part that he was hit, not the part that he lived) My thoughts are with him. ---

I’ll let you know how long he’ll be there and what room he’s in after I find out. I’ll ask him if he wants me to post it or if he’d rather I e-mail it to people who request it. This is an extremely crappy thing to have happened to him. ☹ ---

> [@Elenia28](#): > > Oh, no! No wonder he hasn’t written me back. Hit by a car while he was walking? > > I do hope he’s OK. Please give him my best wishes. Yes, he was crossing the street and the driver was turning from the cross-street (if I understood him correctly). The driver was cited for failure to yield the right-of-way. So hopefully the driver’s insurance will pay for everything and not contest any of his bills. ---

So hopefully the driver’s insurance will pay for everything and not contest any of his bills. While you ask him about what room/etc., could you also ask if I can send him a card? I’ll need the address, of course, my e-mail’s in my profile. Thanks! ---

> [@Gr8Kat](#): > > This morning, while Aesiron was walking to work (my house), he was hit by a car. It was dark, and the driver couldn’t see him. He suffered a broken leg, and when I talked to him he was about to be transported to the Salem hospital for orthopedic surgery. Hopefully I’ll be able to talk to him or see him tonight after surgery and post another update. > > Fortunately the driver was fully insured so his medical bills and such should be covered. But he’s still feeling pretty bum (who wouldn’t??) so if you have any warm thoughts or well-wishes, I know he’d be glad to hear them. I hope and pray everything goes well after this unfortunate accident 😉 J.S. ---

I will send a card at the very least and there will be plenty of tapes for him to watch as he recuperates. Best Wishes for a Speedy Mend! ---

Surgery is _good_—it means the break will heal a lot faster than on its own. All you have to do is dress up like Grace Kelly, and set him up in a wheelchair with a pair of binoculars to spy on the neighbors . . . ---
