j0n hurt in motorcycle accident

[someGTOguy]

****UPDATE PAGE 3 (post #61)****

Hey guys.

For those who don’t already know, yesterday (Saturday), j0n was riding his bike on Rt 22 in Readington. He was in the left lane when a 17-year-old girl cut across to his lane and nailed the brakes in an attempt to get to a u-turn. j0n ran into the back of her car, sending him flying off of his bike. His injuries included a compound fracture to his lower right leg and a fractured left ankle.

He was airlifted from the scene to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, where he underwent emergency surgery for his injuries. The surgery was a success, and he is on lots of pain meds and will be in the hospital from 3 to 5 days, longer if needed.

I just came back from visiting him, and he is in high spirits. The pain meds seem to being doing their job, and he is just chillen, waiting for anybody who wants to see him. He is in high spirits, and would be more than happy to have visitors.

PM me and I will be more than happy to provide you with the needed infoto go an visit him. I think visiting hours are until 8pm, but not 100% sure. Like I said, he’ll be there for awhile, so if you want to go but can’t make it today, just swing by when you can.

Also, he has a DVD player but no good movies, so bring him some good stuff to watch.

His mother is keeping me posted on everything that happens, so I will relay any info I get to you guys. In the meantime, just keep him in your thoughts and wish him a speedy recovery.

[WayFast84]

God damn! It seems like he cant catch a break lately. I hope he makes a quick and full recovery!!

[WildBillyT]

Holy crap, that's right near me!

Those Rt 22 u-turns are death traps. A lady down the street screwed one of them up and got into a nasty accident; she got hurt really bad and she killed her grandchild.

I'm glad he is in stable shape and doesn't seem to be hurt very bad.

j0n, I hope you have a speedy recovery!

[LS1Hawk]

Holy ****! Didn't he just hit a deer on his bike not too long ago? When I started reading this and read that he flew off the bike I immediately expected the worst. Thank god he's alright and give him my best!

[trashman01]

damn j0n cant catch a break at all. hope him a speedy recovery

[Kojak]

He cant catch a break with a bike. Get well fast dude.

[SupermanX24]

damn that sucks, I was just talking to 98TAdriver yesterday about him f'n up his CBR, and then I read this today? I'm glad he's gonna be alright tho, just wish the man could catch a break.

[Fast92RS]

Thats sucks. I hope he makes a speedy recovery..

[JW]

Can you PM me the info for where and what place he is at I might attempt to go see him, feel better j0n

JW :D

[Frosty]

Wow, best wishes to him. Poor guy can't catch a break. :(

[Savage_Messiah]

God damn.... PMing ya

[1_Hot_SOM_WS6]

Ugh!! He has had no luck lately with his bike. Glad to hear that he is ok though. I hope for a speedy & full recovery for ya j0n!!

[unstable bob gable]

WOW! :shock: I just got home from work and saw this! I rang jOn up and chatted for a bit, he is messed up but glad it wasn't "worse." The scary thing is he thinks the girl actually ran him over at some point! He'll prolly be laid up for a couple of weeks in the hospital, so try and get down to see him. I'm gonna try, 'cause he's my favorite drunk monkee!

[BonzoHansen]

Damn, Paul told us this today at Island. Best wish j0n.

[baddest434]

damn sorry to hear that news!! i was looking forward to meeting j0n on tuesday nite @ atco. hope you have a speedy recovery bro. i feel bad for you.

[Blackbirdws6]

I was at the Nats when he texted me with his unfortunate news. I actually just came back from seeing him and he is indeed in high spirits. I would have brought over some movies if I knew he had a dvd player. I'll prob be swingin by through the week to see how he is doing. Definitely cant catch a break with that bike but lucky it wasn't worse.

However, I did mention to him that I will be shooting down to Atco on Tuesday in his honor lol. I actually was hoping he would be out of the hospital by tuesday so I could toss him in my car. We had a good laugh.

-brian

[qwikz28]

damn thats terrible man. i hope him a speedy recovery as well

[bandit88]

Get Well Soon j0n!

[bad64chevelle]

My best wishes for a speedy recovery for ya bro!

[Slow 88]

Wow!! Get well soon!

[JL8Jeff]

Wow, that's too much bad luck for one person. I watched somebody pull a u-turn right in the middle of 31 today between the cement median! There are a lot of bad drivers out there so you really have to drive defensively and expect people to do stupid stuff(especially in NJ). I know you're trying to make Al Gore proud by riding a bike to save gas but I would suggest using a car or truck instead of a bike! :wink: Get well soon!

[ted gerlach]

that sucks, hope he will be fine, if its the same u-turn one of my close friends from high school was killed on his bike

[Knipps]

damn, dude.. if i lived closer i'd bring you an entire binder of dvd's i have sitting here
get better soon man

[Squirrel]

im gonna see if i can shoot up there tomorrow sometime and bring him some vids...just talked to him on the phone, said he's allright, might have to go back into surgery tomorrow...so if he doesnt pick up during the day that might be the reason...

[Ian]

I'll be checking in to see him tomorrow after work.

[79CamaroDiva]

i wanted to go down tonight but was far too exhausted by the time i left the nats. Hope you get better! I'll be trying to head down to Robert Wood sometime before I leave wed for maple grove.

[BigAls87Z28]

Anyone have a number where I can call him? Since I am at work all night, I wont get a chance to swing up there. Anyone have his room tel number?

[Squirrel]

al, he has his cell with him
if you need that number ill pm it to ya

[jims69camaro]

god dammit. this is too much. i feel for you, dude. i am glad it wasn't worse, too, as we could've lost ya. there are way too many bad drivers out there and if your concentration lapses for a split second you can become a statistic.

hope the meds are treating you well. remember to keep the water intake high, because the codeine will dry you out. since he won't be home for a coupla days (if not longer) i would appreciate it if anyone who goes to see him reminds him about this.

hope you make a full and speedy recovery. get well soon so you can get back to your regular activities. :mrgreen:

[misterjuice]

was the girl hot at least??? may be she will put out for your pain/suffering????

[Squirrel]

was the girl hot at least??? may be she will put out for your pain/suffering????

i asked him yesterday, thats a neg

[79CamaroDiva]

[Blackbirdws6]

just spoke to jon a little while ago today. He sends his thanks and appreciation for all the support from the board.

-Brian

[Tsar]

Get well soon dude.

[Ian]

I went to visit him earlier today, he seems to be doing well...

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y210/Ian_F/hospitalmyzie.jpg

if anyone wants to call his hospital room, the number is 732-253-3611.

[BonzoHansen]

He's shocking! :lol:

[Tru2Chevy]

Heh....I'm talking to him now, and one of the first things he asked me was if Ian had posted that pic and phone # yet. It's a classic jerk0ff pic :)

- Justin

[Savage_Messiah]

He just said he couldn't let Ian leave without that pic :lol:

[oh one ls1 SS]

aahhh they got him in the gown! i refused to get in one when i went down. feel better man

[BonzoHansen]

aahhh they got him in the gown! i refused to get in one when i went down. feel better man

Here I thought he chose to wore dresses. (tell him I said that). LOL

[ryanfx]

get better soon man :(

[j0n]

Thanks alot everyone. I finally found a way to get a laptop in here so here I am. I really appreciate all the kind words and hopefully Ill be out of here soon. The accident occurred as Fish said it did with the 17yr old girl making an abrupt u-turn from the right hand lane while i was travelling in the left lane. I have a broken left ankle with pins in it and a severely broken right leg, referred to as an "open compound tib/fib fracture". Essentially the two large bones in my right shin snapped and poked through the skin, causing one hell of a mess, and leaving my foot pretty much dangling off my leg. Other than that I have some relatively minor road rash and a highly deminished need for a motorcycle :lol:

I really appreciate all the calls and everyone stopping by very much and if you have the oppurunity to do either it really means alot to me. The phone number for the hospital is posted above.

[Batman]

Hey Bud, get better, let me know if you need anything
-Nick

[DieselKickYoAss4Sure]

hey man get better soon!

[bubba428]

ouch man...hope you get out soon. good luck with recovery, hopefully you can still drive stick :twisted:

[The Fixer]

Jon, glad to see you have access to the 'net. Thanks for the update on your condition, and I'm happy to see you're doing well. Not too many guys get that lucky on bikes! I'll call ya soon bro!

[j0n]

The accident was ruled 100% in my favor so there will be a check headed my way at some point...I was always curious about ls1 cars...

[misterjuice]

check for pain/suffering = SRT4 swap into the neon one company is charging $5500 for parts/labor and hotel stay while the car is being worked on......then trow in a big turbo kit.........

http://www.srt-4store.com/index.php?page=swaps

[bubba428]

LS1 FTMFW!!!!!!!!

[Knipps]

It could be worse j0n, you could be this guy

TOKYO (Reuters) - A Japanese biker failed to notice his leg had been severed below the knee when he hit a safety barrier, and rode on for more than a mile, leaving a friend to pick up the missing limb.

The 54-year-old office worker was out on his motorcycle with a group of friends in the city of Hamamatsu, west of Tokyo, on Monday, when he was unable to negotiate a curve in the road and bumped into the central barrier, the Mainichi Shimbun said.

He felt excruciating pain, but did not notice that his right leg was missing until he stopped at the next junction, the paper quoted local police as saying.

The man and his leg were taken to a hospital, but the limb had been crushed in the collision, the paper said.

[PDubs87Z28]

just heard man.....sorry to hear, hope for the best bro

[WildBillyT]

The accident was ruled 100% in my favor so there will be a check headed my way at some point...I was always curious about ls1 cars...

That's a big hell yeah.

I'm glad that it is working out in your favor. Some people have to learn to drive the hard way, I guess.

[someGTOguy]

spend it on explosives and blow up the damn neon. honestly, its not all that much safer than a bike.

That was only at like 40 mph. Its also half the reason I got rid of the SRT-4.

[12secondv6]

Sorry man..... rest up and take care!!!!


Two words for ya....... SPONGE BATH!!!!!!

[chemicalstylez]

Good luck on your recovery.

[j0n]

Boon I'm not sure if i'll be able to drive a stickshift once im all healed up...if that's the case I dont want to spend all that money on a car I can't drive. Honestly the more I think about a car the more I think I'm just going to get an ls1 car.

Also knipps, its kind of weird you mentioned that story since I actually thought my foot was missing once i stopped rolling. I looked into the road and saw my boot(sole facing me) and I knew it was tied on tightly, plus the pain in my leg/foot was unbearable so I half-expected to look down and not see a foot attached. Obviously there was one attached though.

[jeff wilson]

good to see your doin ok j0n......everyone should know that your sig. was written long before you turned stuntman.. lol.

[j0n]

:rofl: good point!

[unstable bob gable]

Hey Buddy,
I wanna come up and see ya, but I'm a little under the weather and don't wanna share my germs with you or the other peeps. Hopefully I'll clear up soon.

[misterjuice]

j0n, i've had 3 operations on my right ankle with pins and screws in there, and my left ankle is just as bad...and I'm still a BAMF with driving stick.. It's all in your mind.

[someGTOguy]

hey, just thought i would update you all.

j0n was transferred to a subacute rehab facility in edison, where he is truely miserable (sorry, its the truth). Hopefully he wont be there for long, cause he has a tv with 7 channels. thats it.

anyways, im SURE he wouldnt mind visitors. pm me for his current locale if you feel so inclined.

agreed on all those points 120%. He's really itchin to get out of that place

[foff667]

wow, nobody informed me of this, hope you get better soon j0n :(

[jims69camaro]

j0n was transferred to a subacute rehab facility in edison, where he is truly miserable

rehab sucks the big hairy donkey schlong. stay strong, j0n.

[slasherbarb]

i was in florida all week and just read this...hope things are ok j0n...maybe i'll see if i can run up and visit...

[someGTOguy]

im headin over there with our mutual friend shortly. he also has a playstation 2 there now as well, so its not quite so bad.

[j0n]

still sucks though...and it's 6 channels. The problem is im at a subacute rebab facility due to the fact that i am non-weight bearing on both legs so I am ineleigable for an "acute" rehab facility. Subacute is typically reserved for nursing homes which is essentially what this place is. I'm fairly confident im the only person here under the age of 60 as a patient. Not to mention noone speaks english, nor do any of the nurses read my chart or talk to each other. The place is awful. Once I get to an acute rehab center however things should go 100x better. Thanks again for the good wishes.

PS The damn computer blocks out ebay and facebook. how gay is that!?!

[enRo]

Damn j0n. I was in Myrtle Beach for the last week and I just read this. If theres anything I can do for ya, let me know. Theres a good group of people here on this site, especially the group that came to my house and brought me a box of Kasey, errr, I mean Keebler Cookies, a cpl days after I got hurt at work last year. :lol: Stay strong, and trust me, everything they tell you to do in rehab/therapy, do it. Its 10x worth it and almost guarantees a great and speedy recovery.

[someGTOguy]

The damn computer blocks out ebay and facebook. how gay is that!?!

What the hell? Are they afraid the old people will warn the outside world or something?

I would think they would be more concerned with banning porn sites so as to not induce any unneeded heart attacks.

[Savage_Messiah]

off topic but fish when the hell did you get a buick, and when you named it after me you spelled it wrong :lol:

[j0n]

:lol: yea so another update...I got a verizon broadband card thingy that plugs into my laptop and gives me interweb everywhere so i am once again connected to the outside world :w00t:

stelton road? i dont think stelton runs into edison. whats the address?

[j0n]

stelton road? i dont think stelton runs into edison. whats the address?

you're correct, if you follow stelton road towards edison and don't make any turns you will end up in edison, but before you enter edison the road changes names to plainfield ave :-)

looks like you'll be lacking hair in a few places for a while. I hope you feel better jon!

[79CamaroDiva]

my god they look like frankenstein stitches..

[SteveR]

Glad to see you're improving :) Are the nurses taking care of you? Sponge baths at noon?

[Mike]

seriously what melissa said....whats with the 1900 stictch job?

no casts?

[79CamaroDiva]

seriously what melissa said....whats with the 1900 stictch job?

no casts?

i think they cant cast him yet because they still have to drain the fluid out of the wounds to make sure they dont get infected.

[j0n]

No reason for casts since my left ankle is screwed together and I'm cleared to move it as far as I can tolerate. Also, my right leg has a titanium rod which keeps it far more stable than a cast would.

There will be no more drainage either, and the reason for all the stitches is due to the fact that my bones made THAT BIG of a cut on my leg, the bones ripped my leg apart.

Steve: no more sponge baths! I was finally cleared yesterday to take showers! :w00t:
