Update on Leo Hess. I called in a favor and got some info on his medical condition. I'm going to state it in rather generalized terms for some reasons that otta be obvious.
Leo experienced some fairly serious injuries to his lower extremities (legs and feet) and has had some surgical procedures done. He will need more in the future. His condition is listed as stable, but that's a very broad area. He IS at the hospital I listed earlier (Intermountain Medical Center...which is run by the company I used to work for...and that's how I called in the favor.)
Bottom line: he's not going to be walking for a while, and it's probably gonna involve a lot more pain for him. My heart and prayers go outto him and his family.
I hope this helps clarify things a bit...I believe others' prayers would help him and his family to cope with this.
I still haven't heard what caused the crash. If anyone can clarify that (on the forum, PM or email) I'd be grateful to hear it. Not from a morbid standpoint but as something to consider with regard to rider/driver safety.
Ray (feeling a little somber about this.)
