Two weeks in ICU was a big-ass tipoff to me that Gale's injuries were more serious than was being reported. Even Scott's positive report sounded suspiciously rah-rah to me. But then, I'm a pessimist. Likely we'll never know the truth about his injuries.
I'm now wondering how much of the fandom has been in bike accidents,
LOL, this could explain a lot! (Might explain some of my students, too. Who knew?)
I'm only visitingagain on LJ, although I get a little thrill when old-timers who knew me on TWoP and Refugee call me "jv." : ) When I switched over to LJ, somebody had already taken justvisiting - and never used it. I actually suspect one of the people we banned from Refugee, trying to make sure I couldn't use my "real" name here. Fandom wank comes in many forms!
I know this is wildly optimistic, but it's a post both about injuries and motorcycles...
I have a friend who crashed on his cycle and broke his collarbone and his shoulder blade (fortunately no head injury). It took forever to get the shoulder back into shape. Much rehab followed (and surgery). So, perhaps some of the rehab we are hearing is for the shoulder and not for the head?
I rode a motorcycle once in high school; burned my leg badly on the exhaust and never got on another one. And, fortunately, my parents didn't find out (I fibbed that I burned it on a space heater at prom float building).

If he returns to DH, it won't matter. If he doesn't, we'll know more than I want to. : (

Are you both justvisiting and visitingagain?
Oh boy! Isn't that a club you want to join! Do you think he knew which "your" to use before his trip?
Bwhahahah! I'm now wondering how much of the fandom has been in bike accidents, if that's the source of this sort of thing. Lots, apparently.
And "brotherhood"? There are plenty of sisters in the brotherhood.
So, okay, I get what this person is saying, but that club is not exactly exclusive. The celebratory tone is just bizarre.
