Posted by: Don, April 8th, 2013, 7:24pm
Hey Folks,

Just heard that Mark rc1107  had a little accident and is laid up in hospital.  I know he was working on getting Thistles cleaned up before submitting to Nicholls.  Not sure if he got that completed in time or not.  

Thought tho, that other SS'er would want to know and hope you can send him some good vibrations his way.

Man, Mark is one of the nicest guys you'll ever talk to. I hope he is ok. And I hope he got Thistles done in time.

When I saw the name of the thread, I thought, "That's a weird title for a short."

Hope you're feeling better real soon, Mark.

Mark, the way I see it, you must have been working too hard and G0D said, "Man, you need to take a break."



May the force be with you.

I also thought the same thing as Phil. LOL.

My best wishes for a quick recovery to Mark.

Oh, my! Hopefully it's not too serious and you get well soon.

Good you found a way to tell Don about that and asked to get a post out, so we can send you positive vibes from wherever we are.

Get well and hope you don't miss Nichol's deadline with your script.

Damn, hope everything is alright and you get better soon buddy!

Your in my thoughts (but not in a weird way).

Thank you all for the well wishes.  You guys are the best.  :-)

I just got the word this morning that they're going to hold off on any surgery and see if my spine heals right first.  If it heals straight, they won't have to put any rods or pins in.

I'm still not walking yet, but the doctor said with the way I am moving, I should be up in no time.  I am feeling a lot stronger today, so I'm going to try again later.

As for 'Thistles', I don't think I'll make the regular deadline, but it should be ready for the extended deadline.  I'm aloud on my laptop and since I can't get up yet, I should have plenty of time to get it done now.  :-)

(I should also have plenty of time to get some reading done on the site now, since I won't be able to work for a little while.)

Once again, I really thank everybody for their thoughts, and I'll be in touch with any updates.

Thanks again, everybody.  Simply Scripts really is the best.

Hey Mark,

Hope you get well real fast, buddy.

What'd you do anyway? Backflip while avoiding a sword or something?

Hope you're doing better and I wish you a speedy recovery!  


It looks a little grim with Don's black ribbon on his avatar though....

Hey Mark,

I am traveling now, so do not take my earlier silence as lack of concern.

Add my voice to the others.  Be well, my e-friend.

Hey Mark, sounds quite serious, hope you're okay.  Get well soon, mate.  Plenty of time to write while you recover.

Yikes, Mark.
Take care of yourself and heal up.

I bet there's a short about a guy in traction in our future now. :P

Well, I wasn't attacked by a Samurai sword this time, (I think that incident occurred on the 'God's Empty Acre' thread), so it wasn't malicious.

But someone's been throwing sticks and rocks at the windows, (found out who while I was in the hospital).  I went out Sunday to get all the ones off the roof (and a frisbee, too) and slipped.  The incline was too steep to get my footing, but luckily I was able to jump out enough and land in the yard rather than on the tree stumps in front of the house.

My new nickname in the neighborhood is 'Superman', which everybody laughs at until I remind them that Christopher Reeve was paralyzed.  Then they feel bad.  :-)

Thank you again everybody for the good vibes.  It really helped.  I was walking again Wednesday and after some physical therapy to see how I was moving and going up and down steps, I was let out of the hospital yesterday.  (After talking to a psychiatrist and assuring him it wasn't a suicide attempt, which happened to be the consensus at first because they didn't know why I'd be on the roof and because of heavy depression in my early 20's.  :-)  I'll be back to work next week and I just have to wear the brace to make sure the spine heals straight.  (The official diagnosis were compression fractures in two vertabraes.)

Unfortunately, after I was discharged, my mom didn't answer the phone to let her know she could pick me up, so I figured she left for work.  After I got home, I found out she was in the emergency room for an ongoing heart problem, so I headed right back to the hospital.

She's home recovering now, but something happened with my uncle right after she got out, and he has to have heart surgery, so if anybody could send some positive thoughts their way, I'd really appreciate it.

Anyway, I want to thank everybody again for the warm thoughts and I'll be talking to you guys soon.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention, Don.

I liked the the 'fallen and can't get up line'.  It made me smile when I saw it.

Hey Mark,

Happy to hear you're up and walking. Hopefully you won't have to wear that brace for too long. I'm sorry about your mother and uncle. My thoughts and prayers go out to both of them for a speedy recovery.

Take care.

Ouch, pretty nasty fall. Glad to hear everything is healing properly thus far.

Sounds like one thing after the other - sending good vibes to your family. Hope everything works out alright.

Hey Dirk and Renee.

Thanks a ton for your thoughts.  My mom's better now, but my uncle's still doing rough.

Yep.  When it rains, it pours.

Thanks again to everybody.
