Someone Ran Over Chad's Head (he's fine)

[darkchylde51]

I told people that I would post up how Chad was doing after I got home so I'll give the low down for the rest of you out there...

(I would like to preface this by saying that he is totally fine...at least he is back to his normal self.)


So, for those of you who don't know, Race 5 yesterday was reasonably hectic. A few red flags, and a pissed off clutch for Nazo made for a pretty tedious race. After the second start, Chad (hardcore) went down in 12 and apparently someone ran over his head after he hit the ground. I didn't see the accident, but I did see the ambulance guys working on him and he was out for a few. They brought him to the infirmary and there were no broken bones or anything, but since they were concerned about the fact that he did lose consciousness, they took him to Concord. He was awake at that point.

A couple of hours later he gave us a call letting us know he was being moved to Dartmouth Medical center, so jayssogood and I went up to go meet him there.

An aside, if any of you happen to crash, go for the neurological damage, because even though it's really far away, this hospital is unreal. They have all kinds of good stuff there, and it kind of looks like a mall. Seriously. I think there was a Gap on the 4th floor. And if you're looking for any good "Nuclear Medicine", they have a huge department. Trust me, we got so lost walking around in there we went around the whole thing, and even walked by what I believe to be the actual Area 51.

Anyways, his jovial neurosurgeon infromed us that there was just a little bit of bleeding inside of his head, and I don't think he even ended up having a concussion (sp?), so all was soon right with the world. Then we spared his appetite and brought him a burger to wash down the crap hospital food, and took him back to the track this morning. So hardcore is back to his old sunny-disposition and is home safely. Good thing he's so thick-headed, huh?

Thanks to everyone who was there!

And I have a picture from the hospital that I want to post, can someone give me the name of a website to link it to please?

Wow, glad to hear that he is OK...Getting transfered to Dartmouth from Concord is usually a bad thing..I'm glad that in his case it all worked out...

Although they do indeed have a mall in the hospital. Pretty big hospital too. No matter how many times I go there I still get lost..

Did he break the track again?!!!!

Glad you're OK Chad! At least they hit the part of you that contains the fewest number of moving parts.


Hope you feel better soon!
