Still in lots of pain as one can expect one week after such an accident. He described to me in detail what happened and all I could do was grimace. Remembers EVERYTHING that happened.

The guy who hit him is some 27 year old, was under the influence, no insurance, had an expired driver's license, and what sounded like a previous history of similar "bodily injury" convictions against him. He is currently in custody with $100k bail.

He wants to thank everyone for the well wishes and says thanks to (Albert) Rflow for the cookies.

To Rob (buyer of the car): He wants to apologize and feels really bad that he could not tie up the loose ends with the car before you picked it up. He had every intention of keeping his word on whatever he promised you but, due to the unfortunate circumstances, could not do so. John will be in touch with you as soon as he is well enough.
Thanks for the update. This place just isnt the same w/o John, I hope the next couple weeks provide adequete rest and healing, we all miss ya man..

Pleasecall or pm if you need any help , im unemployed

If you get a chance to talk to him again, definitely tell him his recovery is priority and everything else can wait. As for the car, I'm very satisfied with the purchase and will take great care of it.

John, I'm glad you're back home. Hospitals can be a very stressful place even for the non-sick. I know it's hard, but try to get as much rest as you possibly can. We're all wishing you a healthy and quick recovery........
