    Coming Home
    Contributed by Saul's Parents
    Friday, 28 April 2006
    Hopefully this will be our last report from France. Saul is strong
    enough to move home and we have started the ball rolling. Saul is
    improving every day. He is seating, walking with help, eating, and
    whispering. All the people here in France have been great to us and
    especially to Saul. Saul still has a long hard road to travel, but we
    all know he can do it. Thanks to everyone for your support. If you see
    us, we need a hug.

    Another Good Day
    Contributed by Saul's Parents
    Tuesday, 25 April 2006
    Today is a good day. We did not tell this before, but Saul was not
    taken off the respirator earlier, he pulled it out. After 24 hours they
    had to reinsert it. Yesterday they took it out again and so far Saul
    does not need it and hopefully he will not need it. Saul is sitting in
    a chair for short times and talking a little. He told us he does not
    like it here and he is hungry. Saul is still very confused and will be
    for a while. The infection in his lungs is a lot better. If he keeps
    improving with little or no set backs, we are coming home soon. We have
    a medical air ambulance ready to bring him home. Again, thank you for
    all the love, support, and prayers.

    Jim and Yvonne

    Maybe you can make a chart on how often brain injuries this severe make full
    recoveries?

    Or maybe a chart that shows how great helmets work?

    You seem to have the usenet equivalent of Tourette's as you're not in
    control of your communication centers. Self-medicate if you must, but
    do something.

    If he's breathing on his own, and sitting, he should be back on the
    traininer by now!

    Best of luck to him.

    That's quite an axe you have to grind. Could you please shut up about
    the helmets already? You don't believe in them; we get it. Don't wear
    one. Fine. We don't care.

    Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Saul.

    Yea, there should be a law that prevents all KUNICHs from wearing helmets.

    Let's wait and hope for the best.

    MOST cycling related brain injuries resolve to normal or very close to
    normal but that doesn't mean that he will ever be able to ride a bike again
    let alone race.

    This is why I don't like helmets. Before helmets the first thing a falling
    person thought about was to protect his head. Now people DON'T think about
    it. "[censored] man, that's what I got a helmet for." I'm glad I learned to ride
    motorcycles and crash before there were helmets.

    Everyone thinks like that. It is well substantiated in the
    literature. It is universally and thunderingly denied
    everywhere else. People adjust their behavior to their own
    level of risk assessment and risk taking. In all
    situations they adjust upward their risk taking when
    provided with measures they believe will ameliorate the
    harmful consequences of contrary eventualities.

    Holy [censored], I should have been wearing a helmet before I read that last
    sentence... My head frickin' hurts. 😉

    Did you really just use the words 'ameliorate' and 'contrary
    eventualities' in the same sentence??? 😉

    If he had worked in "modalities" he would have earned a free trip to
    Disneyword. So close, and yet so far.
