I fared much better merely because I knew to put pressure on my bleeding injuries and stabilize my bone breaks and there was a lot of first aid experience among the people in my car group. First aid skills are valuable life skills even if you don't drive in the desert. If you're reading this and don't know much about first aid, consider it a warning to learn something. There is no part of society that is so safe that you never will run into trama, sickness, or be injured yourself. The more you know, the more you can help yourself, those you love, and anyone you happen to have the chance to help. I'm thankful to everyone who was involved in rescuing me or who called and supported me over the weekend. The Renown Hospital of Reno where I spent the past five days also is amazing and I'm quite impressed by what I've seen.

Surgery was somewhat more extensive than I had first understood. There was a break in the upper arm and in the shoulder joint uh, "housing" (rather than two breaks in the upper arm). But it sounds like it won't significantly increase recovery time. i had surgery over Saturday without event, still some swelling this morning, but much lower than Saturday evening.

As you recover, please know that we are all part of your recovery mission team. Please make sure your clicker hand is working. If not, perhaps a helmet for direct brain control of the gas-fill clicker would be in order. Should we send chocolate? flowers? money? Hang in there, Karl.

I'll have surgery tomorrow and current forecast from the doctor is a full recovery in a couple of months. Good luck on the vehicle recovery, JP. I’m doing well at this time.
