+1Get him laptop and tell him to join us. If the whackjobs on here can't cheer him up, nothing will.
He'll come out on the other side of this. Take care of each other.

From a male point of view.... you are a nurse,,, you have special uniforms.. he's now your prisoner....any questions ???He's not going to take well to being in need of total care. That's not his style at all. Any advice from the male point of view on how to help him through this? I'm a nurse, so I can do all the stuff no problem but how does an independent guy handle it?

+1That's really awful news, to be sure. My heart goes out to you both.
Mighty considerate of you to try to ease his frustration at being helpless while he heals. I think you'll find, especially if he's in a lot of pain, that he'll be willing to swallow his pride a bit and be grateful for the help. Oh yeah...occasionally he'll be really, really ornery.
I hope all goes as smoothly as possible for you and DH as he recovers. Take care.
After 6000 blissful miles in just two months on the new bike, the party is over. According to the Officer at the scene, the bike was 'Vaporized' rather than just totaled.
A rear ender between two cars in the fast lane spilled one of them into the HOV lane at 90 degrees, about 20 feet in front of the bike. At 65mph, the bike was able to stop on impact but the rider carried on moving a further 25 feet, over the median onto the other side.
FF helmet and leathers saved the injuries being a lot worse but what he got will side line him for quite some time. He has five fractures, two in one leg, two in one arm and one in the other arm. He's also got a compression fracture of his thoracic spine.
I'm still in disbelieving shock over this and I think he is too. Haven't ridden my bike since it happened and am getting more nervous by the hour. If this could happen to a strong, experienced capable rider like him...... He is my rock, my mentor, my riding coach as well as my dear husband of 26yrs.
