Dana Wilson injured !

I just saw this posted on the SCTA website. Thought you might like to know. Regards, Tom


                                       Dana Wilson Injury

(posted 11 November 05)

All-- Just talked to Dana Wilson this afternoon. He called me from the hospital.  He was working around his house when he slipped and fell.  His head/neck struck a post and as a result suffered a broken neck.  The break is at C-2 which is the same as actor Christopher Reeves suffered some time back rendering him paralyzed.  Fortunate Dana's break did not cause any paralysis.  The doctor said he was one lucky S.O.B.  He is remaining in the hospital perhaps through this weekend although there is a chance he will be released sooner.  When he's released he will be wearing a C-Collar for sometime allowing him no movement of his neck.  12 weeks is the estimate for the C-Collar. Please say your prayers for Dana for a full recovery.

Asking questions is one's only way of getting answers.

The rational person lets verified facts form or modify his opinion.  The ideologue ignores verified facts which don't fit his preconceived opinions.

Just recieved a note from Mike Waters, Dana is home and has some recovery time ahead of him. His wife Jackie told Dana no hockey or roller skating for a while.

If some of this list has contact to Dana, please let him know my best regards and that I wish him a full recovering so that I can see him again in 2006 at the salt.
