ANY NEW WORD ON JASON "SHAGGY"

[USMC RACER]

Just checking to see if there are any new updates to Jasons condition.

[trackpimp]

my guess is he had to have surgery on that shoulder afterall.. his mom told me she'd call me if he was released.. she hasn't called yet..

[Shady]

From what I hear he doesnt need surgery on the arm and is set to be released from the hospital this afternoon...it was his partially collapsed lung that has kept him hospitalized this long. I'll let the rest come from him when he gets out....if he can figure out how to type on all of that morphine. :cheers:

[trackpimp]

Morphine sucks... Dylodin(SP?) was the good stuff for me anyway..

[RayDOActive]

dilaudid. its also a morphine derivative. but it works a lot NICER. hehehe. i got that and some toradol when i was in the ER after my crash and i was actually able to stand up and walk out of the hospital. good stuff.

[argh6]

Jason is doing good, but he is still in the hospital. Chest x-rays show his lung has not yet fully re-inflated, and the doc's are reluctant to release him because it is not re-inflating. He will be there through the weekend most likely. I was hopeing he would be released before I have to fly home, but unfortunately that won't happen. Jason says hi to everyone, and really appreciates all the support his friends are showing him! He's still cracking jokes (poor Sean got the butt of it today!) and he's pretty much wasted from the drugs, but other than being bored out of his mind, he's hangin in there!

[Captain G Force]

thanks for the update jerry, glad to hear he is in good spirits even if he is still taking a while to recover.

[trackpimp]

interesting tid-bit... when I got shaggy on the phone a few days ago... one of the first things out of his mouth was "we'll be back out there to battle again.." or something along those lines!

I look forward to it shaggy!

[argh6]

WOOHOO! Jason had his chest-tube removed today and got released from the hospital! He was definately glad to be home! Thanks again to all those who showed him support!

[JesseJames]

Sweet. Inflated lungs rule.

Good luck Shaggster.

:cheers:

[EvilKawi]

Best wishes.

[deathblow]

Glad to hear you're finally home. Being in the hospital is sucks.

[05GSXR600]

Sean is always the center of the jokes! Nice meeting you Jerry and :woot: on Jason finally making it home! :woot:

[zeal]

Here is wishing you quick recovery Jason! It sucks to be hurting, but I am sure you are getting a royal treament at home :)

I just bought some of that same stuff (The morphine derivative) over the counter here in Chile. It was only $20, too. Crazy, huh? Hope Shaggy will be home soon :)

[shaggy]

thanks everyone for thinking about me. I have some good friends out here! I'm better but not outta the woods yet. I'm gonna be off the bike for a long time, might even sell the old lady and use this time to get a new bike... Everyone ride safe out there and I'll be bac out there with you all soon.

Good to hear from you Jason! Let me know if you need anything.

[USMC RACER]

Sounds good bro, best of luck to you. I am glad to hear that your doing well. Initial reports i was getting on that Sunday did not sound good. I am sure you have had countless peeps stopping by but if you need anything let me know.

And hey, I still need a set of forks dude!! Take care bro

[Captain G Force]

definitely good hearing from ya! im sure jared would be interested in parts off that bike....heal up well bro and get back in the saddle when you are good to go, it would be awesome to see ya out there riding again.

Glad you are alive to tell the story. Sucks that we won't ride together anytime soon. I was hoping you were going to come out on the sept 2nd trackday.

I'll miss riding with you also Pete. I planned on keeping you behind me all day at sept 2nd, but no one will ever know! I'll be back dicing with you again my friend :)


jason! soo good too hear from you!

Ha! thanks Josh, about the green thing though...NEVER! :cheers:

With all the racing you have been doing, I probably would be behind you the whole day. Of course, I have found some new things in my riding....but like you said, we'll never know....or should I say, we'll find out later.

[Arnold_R1]

Ha! thanks Josh, about the green thing though...NEVER! :cheers:

:clap:
Gotta stay true to Yamaha Jason! :thumbsup:

[pulse]

glad to hear you finally made it home jason :thumbsup:

[veejay]

good to hear you're doing better... what happened anyways? are details posted somewhere?

[shaggy]

Pete, you'll always be faster than me at SOW! just cause your more stubborn than me! I cann't wait till we duel again though my SOW villian...

As for what happened to me? after watching a short 5 sec vid clip made by a corner worker from turn 4a this is what I can tell: First off I got a really bad start, went from gridded 7th to going into T4 in 11th...remember here I have no recolection of what happened that whole day so I cann't explain my poor start. After making a pass into T3 I drove hard up the inside of Dustin also. Right at the exit of T3 as you transition back right for T4 it looks to me like I lost the back end, just a little slip but enough to throw me off the bike and stand it up. I regained just in time to collect Dustin, the innocent bystander in this. My bike drove left off the track and took Dustins with it. After that I have no idea where we went but it sounded pretty gross...My arm is still killing me and has lots of cool colors on it. Hope Dustin is doing better also. Thanks for everyone's support! :cheers:

Kinda scarry when you crash and you don't know what happened. Any idea on how long the projected recovery time is?

Believe you me, we will race together again. Besides, the rumors that WSMC will run SOW is becoming more and more real. You know I will be there for that. I'm racing at Phoenix in Sept. I know there is little shot of you doing that one but it would be cool to race there. We went pretty well over there.

[shaggy]

It's not kinda scary Pete, It's the most frightening thing ever.

I wish I new if/how I screwed up so that it won't happen again. I have no recolection of sun/mon after they sang the national anthem after the riders meeting. I will be off the bike for some time, doctor said a year so I expect 6 months. Shoulder injuries are very hard to come back from quickly. I might sell my bike even to use this tme to upgrade. Not sure yet, gonna take it one day at a time....

[silvrsled]

Holy crap....a year? Yeah, 6 months sounds right. lol. I say split the difference and leave it at 9 months. Well I hope you heal quickly and can't wait to see what you upgrade to. Any hints? Make sure it's a middle weight so we can race the same class in the future.

[Lost]

Damn bro, thats a long time to not ride. Your attitude is very good, and its good to hear you talking about racing again. When you better nuff to bbq we should all do a get together. I only see you around the shop and when were racing. Thats too long to not hang out and bs with ya.

[USMC RACER]

Jason, sorry to hear you will be out so long, I dont look forward to beating anyone but you! ha ha, I all ways Know when you and i are on the track we push each other that much more. I know i accomplish something when me and you go back and fourth no matter who wins.
If you want to part out your bike,,i could use the forks bro. Let me know?

[r1brip]

Good to hear you are home and doing well Jason. Good luck on healing up well and you'll be riding in no time.

[MrCrashRR]

man, im so glad you are ok, that sounds so crazy. i dislocated and seperated my shoulder in ice hockey, and i never thought it would feel better. Just take lots of glucosamine and MSM, and do your PT, and you'll be feeling better in no time.

sucks about taking time off, but like you said, no better time to build your perfect track bike.

hope you feel better man, and let me know if you need any help, or to move any heavy objects, as im sure you are hurting like hell.

[Jelco]

hope you have a sucessful recovery. pt is key

[trackpimp]

Shaggy.. have you seen the footage at all yet? If not.. PM me, and I'll hook you up with a link.

its got frame by frame photos, and some video.. It really shows what you did all the way up until my tires were inches from going off track..

[JesseJames]

link it Dustin, long as it is ok with Jason and you of course.

Shaggy I have had some pretty bad bangups in my time, you have enough time to get yourself back to 100% bro, don't take chances with coming back early would be my advice. I have had injuries that still affect me over 10 years after they happened because I didn't give them the time they needed.

Good luck bro. Glad you dudes are OK.

[melonheadR6]

Wahoo! Glad you're home Jason!

[zx6racer]

jason, glad your home safe, heal up quick, and PT is definitly key!!!! get well man.
