    Anybody here anything on how Ron Paul (the non presidential candidate) is doing? I am assuming he is probably in contact with Martin. Hope he is well and getting better fast, we miss him around here.

    Somebody dropped out of the presidential race today. Time for Tifosi Ron to make his move for the White House.

    Maybe Ron is waiting for Massa to redeem himself after Hungary before he makes an appearance. Just Kidding Ron.

    I spoke to Ron on the phone about a week ago. He is improving and his spirits are high. He told me that he was surprised and touched by the outpouring of support he has received from these boards.

    He sounded good and on the road to recovery.

    Wouldn't it be nice to have a car guy in the White House. Especially a Ferrari guy.

    Ron. Now's the time.

    Thanks for asking, your thoughts along with everyone else have meant much to me. I only have use of my left hand, so typing is an effort. I read many of threads and posts on FChat, but I tire quickly so I don't consider responding.

    I am staying in temporary quarters (with SpeedTV) near the hospital as I go there 3 times per week for therapy. I have daily nursing care (they are all old) as I still need my dressings changed everyday, probably another two months. I am trying to get off the pain pills but as nerve endings come back its hard to ignore the discomfort. My right arm and right foot are still raw and wrapped. Left foot and left hand are 98%. My face and scalp are healed but still sensitive so I have to wear a hat. All my previous wrinkles are gone!

    My concern is regaining the use of my right hand. I can't grip a pencil, so stretching tendons and the new skin during therapy is critical. Yes, that does hurt but I want to play piano and defend Massa again someday. Trying to gain back some of the 20lbs I lost. I am relatively immobile for now, after an hour, I am very tired.

    I went with Martin last week to try to find some personal items in the Boxer. That was a big mistake. I had no idea how bad the car was, and I question how anyone survived. Really emotionally upsetting. I will post the photos soon.

    Again I want to thank everyone for their kind words, and of course Martin and Gaby, and all the SSF members that brought me food and drink. Having my daughters there the first week was wonderful. Even my ex was constantly there.

    And my special friend that called me 3-4 times everyday the three weeks I spent in the hospital, if you only knew what that meant to me.

    I am so thankful to be alive.


    (this response took me nearly 45 minutes, I am out for the day)

    Actually Ron's politics on the Politics Section is pretty decent, he seems like a pretty knowledgeable guy and hopefully he might bring the USGP back to America.

    Great to hear your getting better, but sad that you are in so much pain. Just take care of yourself and we look forward to reading your posts when you get back. Hopefully the F-Chat guys in Florida will keep you entertained.

    Best Wishes,
    Tony

    Hope you feel better soon.

    Lost 20lbs huh?

    Hmmm, you like lobster? PM me your address and I will send you a fresh Maine lobster, just off the boat and still kicking :) Dropping another living thing in a pot of boiling water is sure to make you feel better about your own pain.

    There's a great chocolate place down the street, if you aren't a lobster person. Chocolate will put that 20lbs back on lickety split. Just let me know where I could send.

    Or, if Ron is out of action for a bit, anyone got an address where he can get a package?

    Thanks for the post. Was alot of work you, but hopefully will help your recovery.

    Of course they gave you "old" nurses. think they could trust you with young nurses? ;)

    I'll be your campaign manager when you decide to run.

    Keep in touch.

    Pax Vobiscum

    Very nice idea. For those who don't know Ron: He is already very slim. Unlike me, he doesn't need to loose 20 lbs.

    Cavallino Motors is the moniker for Ron's buddy Martin. I'm sure he could provide a postal address.
