Tommy Girard Injury Status

[JBraun]

Heal up Tommy! If you want to go team owner let me know and I'll ride your bikes. Maybe you're just getting too old for this...

Pretts, what the hell? Sorry to hear that. Give me a call and let me know what's up...

I can't believe Tommy left the track without paying his fuel bill....unacceptable.

Get better old man.

I have this picture of Tommy dragging one of those oxygen cylinders behind him to the riders meeting and having to take the mask off his face to ask a question. Very vivid image...

Latest news from Tommy is that there might be some further problems with his lung. After draining his lung they noticed something strange in the X-Rays again. Possible air pocket or fluid that is not supposed to be in his lung in a certain area?

He will know more tomorrow. Earlier today they said that he could probalby head home today until they saw the Xray prior to leaving. He was changed in regular clothes and ready to leave when they changed him again and hooked him up to an oxygen tank again.

He has a very sore shoulder more than anything. His left collar bone has lots of water in front of it and he is having a hard time putting pants on.

He went from confidence that he would be just fine to now he is not sure what is wrong. He might have to be cut open to repair a lung damage possibly. So he is a little worried on what will happen.

I'll keep everyone up to date as I find out more info tomorrow.

Thanks for the replys says Tommy.

Actually, I think the nurses thought Tommy was just too sexy to let go.

Tommy said he's getting excellent care there and may go home today. (Unless those nurses have an evil plan...)

[spyderchick]

Well, Tommy fought off the evil nurses.
It was a short battle, he told them he races motorcycles and spends all of his time with his bike.
I think he did have to shoot the crazy one between the eyes though. 

He's going home today.

Welcome home T !!    I'll be over at 10 to set up the video equipment; the 'sponge bath sisters' get there at noon......

Give him at least a day to recover from the fight with evil nurses.

Jesus Tommy,

We just got reaquainted and you have to go and spit up some blood. Here, let me borrow you Meghan's skirt...I won't be needing it anymore. I sure hope you are back in August because I was really hoping to ram my trumpet up yours and Purk's asses...unless of course you are still sore from the poking and prodding that you received in the hospital.

Thanks everyone for the well wishes.  Sorry to everyone that was effected by my bowling ball bike and body!

They let me out yesterday afternoon after a little bit of a scare with the lung that collapsed but all is good now.  The collapsed lung actually wasn`t as bad as the tube they insert (while I was awake!) in a hole they make between your ribs!  And even now my shoulder and back hurt way more than the whole lung deal.  Special thanks to everyone who helped out loading and especially Jason, AJ and Paul Krause, and Mike Bird who put a whole new meaning to the title " transport driver"!!!  Hope to be back at Blackhawk in August.

Oh Ya almost forgot.......What fuel bill Rob???      

[butchf]

Tommy, so glad to hear from you. My friends and son all wish you the best!
Joe Denohw is our mechanic. He also was concerned.....Get well! and rock on with those new laps!!!

[Team_Serpent]

Been away from the board for a while so just learning of this.

Sorry to hear about your injuries Tommy.  Heal up fast!
