Any idea on his condition?

[Albee1raider]

how tragic!!! people just aren't aware of us. i think everyone should ridee for a day so they can feel what it's like to have idiots pull out in front of you.... and seriously insure your damn car !!!

[FJMam]

I know we'd like to help this rider and his family. Is there a fund for him?

[purpleslug]

ok so there is a fund set up at selco its for him and also papas pizza is going to do one for him also

Any idea on his condition?

He is doing much much better now. I was very suprised on how fast he had began to recover. I went in one night and he had tubes everywhere, couldn't talk, could barely breathe and the next day, no tubes and is back to his smartass self :-). He is still in a hell of a lot of pain and has a lot of recovery to do, but it is looking up. He had 8 fractures all together. He has a total of 40 something screw in him now, a couple rods and a plate where is pelvis is. He is in a reglar room thank goodness, no more ICU. They say a few more days at River Bend then moving him to the Campus Sacred Heart for 2 weeks of physical therapy.

Both Wells Fargo and Selco have accounts setup for him. We are holding a fundraiser at Papa's Pizza on main street in springfield on January 25. You have to have a flyer for it to work, I have a bunch of them and also can send it to anyone that would like to print it out.

On behalf of Josh Essenyi, thank you for all the support. :clapping:

[willcbr600rr]

Thanks for the update. It sounds like he's on a quick path to recovery. I would love a flyer.

[FJMam]

Thanks D!
I didn't realize anyone here was so close to him. Is he one of our riders? ESB, that is?
Yes, if you could post the flyer or send one to me as well that would be great.

Tell him we wish him the best!

I tried to stop in and see him today but he was out of his room. I may try tomorrow.

[Danyelle]

Yes, Today for the first time he was able to go out of the room and outside for a bit in his wheel chair. We walked and he strooled through the hospital. He was very happy to get out of that room for awhile!

[Stacya_250]

thanks Danyelle! I did get up there to see him today. Really cool person! I got to see all his hardware pic's and all I can say is oh crap! He is in really good spirits! it will take him lots of work to get up and moving. I wish him the best on getting better. I think I was up there for an hour just Bs'ing about things. Let us know about the flyers.

Thank you very much for coming up there.. That was amazingly nice of you! :-)

[Stacya_250]

After hearing his horror he is one lucky person!! And I wish him the best on his recovery!

[Danyelle]

I am thankful that he is very strong both physically and mentally so I know he will be just fine :-).

Go ahead and PM me your address if you would like a flyer. I tried to figure out a way to send it as an e mail or post it but it wont work for some reson so i will just get them in the mail as soon as i have your address.

[Danyelle]

I just got home from visiting Josh. He asked me to post some pictures for you all to see his injuries. So here they are.

He should be moved to a rehabilation place tomorrow. Thank you for the address' I will get your flyers sent out. I am also going to deliver a bunch to all the bike shops. I am going to get his helmet and he would like for everyone to sign it. I will have it at the pizza night. Thank you again for all the support!:yes:

[Jane Honda]

Oh, wow. That brings back so many memories.



Tell him that I wish him the best. This is from someone that's been there. If he needs to talk, have him PM me.

He has a very long road ahead of him. It helps to talk to people that have been in the same situation.

[roadrunner]

holy smokes!!!

[Alex9101]

Damn that's insane!!! :sad:
Wishing to get better soon!

[nvoelsch]

Me thinks a group of motorcyclists showing up to Papa's in Springfield on Monday the 25th might be in order...

As long as it's not raining I'm down for a ride.

[FJMam]

DANG!
I don't envy him when he wants to fly some place! better carry your x-rays!

It's good to see the smile on his face.
Best wishes Josh and family!

[Danyelle]

Josh is now at home! He got to skip the rehab place and go straight home. I sent flyers to everyone that sent me their address and also put some at all the bike shops I could think of.

[willcbr600rr]

Roni and I plan on going around 530 tomorrow. I have a second flyer if anyone needs it.:lets-eat:

[FJMam]

I dropped the flyer off at "the Healing Center" and they made copies. I hope that they get used. At least one said she would go. I have to work but the other flyer will be in the front office for who ever wants to use it.

[ZX-14]

Heidi and our 2 boys should be there around then or a little later too.

P.S. I can fax a copy to anyone who needs one.

[Danyelle]
