Wow this is a first me talking bikes! Hi everyone im Heather Russ's trouble & strife. have managed to extract his password so i could write personally.
Russ & I can't thank everyone enough for all the e-mails, cards, discs and support they have helped us through a very difficult 10 days THANKYOU!!!! Russ has got his own Royal Mail Van each morning (& Jess for those of you with kids!).
Last night Russ had his first full nights sleep and although tired is feeling in good spirits, he is on the whole very positive and we realise how lucky he is to be able to have the use of his arms and hands when seeing other people at Stoke. On a less happy note the news is not good. Russ remains unable to move or feel anything from the chest down and we have been told that this will be the permanent situation due to the severity of the injury. Russ now has a long haul ahead of him but as you know is determined and positive. Tomorrow he should be getting out of bed for the first time so i will let you know how it goes. He is looking forward to lots of visitors and now that he is feeling stronger i'm sure it won't be long. Will keep you posted!
From me personally thank you so much to everyone on the ride who helped Russ, rang me and waited at the hospital til i arrived. It means so much to know that Russ wasn't alone. Am feeling emotional again so i won't go on. Hopefully i will get to meet some of you at the hospital but again

THANKYOU FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT
I've taken the liberty of cross-posting this to alt.mountain-bike, where plenty of people are rooting for Russ. Difficult not to be patronising I hope the situation works out as best it can.

Heck, I've been away for a while. Just found the original post, sounds awful. I wish Russ the very best recovery possible.

I can't really think of the right words for this situation. I doubt that Russ would want anyone feeling sorry for him, so I think the only thing I can do is wish both of you all the best.
