Hang in there as best as you can Owen, something positive has gotta give sooner or later. Alot of people have you in their thoughts and prayers and hoping you return here soon to fly again.

Thanks for the update Owen.

Okay,, I realize how badly I was hurt, Many have told me, I wasn't expected to live..I was told also by a doctor That I didn't realize this either. Carlos, also showed me a video today of me the first few days, after the wreck,..DAMN.. I don't remember much of the first two weeks of this ordeal.. And I guess that I am Blessed, (not that I deserve it.) One thing is for sure still fighting, the pain, and not giving up. Hobbits are hard to Kill, Thanks be to God..

Hi there good buddy, talking bout being alive. In 1994 I had a major cranium aneurism, my neuron surgeon told me I had an one tenth of one percent of surving, here I am twenty some years later and like a Timex, still alive and ticking, tacking a licking. Got a tear in my left rotator cup six weeks ago, ouch, please excuse my typos. So hang in there Owen, I have you in my prayers.
God bless
Len

[HouseHobbit]

Thanks Everyone..It is difficult, but still fighting here..

[Rami]

Owen,

Keep the faith. You know my struggles, I know yours. You win. I pray for you every day, and hope that you heal rapidly and completely.

[HouseHobbit]

Thanks Brother Rami, I pray the same for you..

[HouseHobbit]

God Bless each of you

I just got back from a short visit with Owen this afternoon to bring him lunch, and drop off a Christmas gift. He's still struggling with finding his way through the Ohio Medicaid support system, and is in a great deal of constant pain. He sends his thanks for the support you all have shown him.

[miamieagle]

May he get better!

I got a request from Owen this morning that he still needs our prayers.

The week before last he made a connection with a different hospital (Ketterning) that was willing to take him in and fix his problems right away. (Praise God!) He refused because he had to settle some issues with his living situation first, but was planning at the time to go back in a few days and take them up on their offer. During those few days the apartment below him was broken into, making his long term departure back to the hospital even more problematic.

I know he's constantly suffering in pain, and has been tempted to go the illegal substances route. He already has the additional burden of facing an insurmountable debt he can never repay, so adding the local dealers into the mix is not a complication he needs right now. The State and VA support his was counting on, has never materialized. He lives in a part of town that I'm afraid to venture into even in broad daylight, so I've not gone down to see him very often. I'm certain that it all seem pretty hopeless to him most of the time.

the additional burden of facing an insurmountable debt he can never repay

That is just impossible... he is the victim, this should not be like this.

Hate to say it but he needs a good lawyer . I had to do that a it worked out good for me. Have SSI and Medicare . Make too much for Medicaid . Hang in there Owen ! Best Regards,Scott

[sixstrings5859]

Haven't heard anything from Owen lately. I hope he is ok. Worried about him with all his troubles .

[HouseHobbit]

Thanks everyone, I am very Grateful for the folks here and your kind support..
God Bless each of you.
Still fighting the system here and praying everyday..

[Led Zeppelin]

Thanks Owen, keep posting some news from time to time.

[HouseHobbit]

I got CFS3 reloaded onto my desktop, Thanks Joshua for the disks. I have set up the Firepower add-on, and saved virgin copy of CFS3 for later needs.
As I am able, I am reloading ETO, the the BOB install from Clive, then will do MAW next.
All this will take weeks for me at the rate I can work with my limited use of my hands..
I can't use them for much without GREAT pain, even typing this is a very painful experience.
I am grateful to have CFS3 running again on my desktop, another step a getting a piece of my life back.
Oh yea!
Missions forthcoming!!

[sixstrings5859]

Don't over do it Owen. Need you in one piece my friend..... Just take your time. Pray that you will continue to heal. It takes time as i know from when i had a very bad fall years ago and still suffer with it over 20 years later. Hope the best for you....... Best Regards,Scott

[Led Zeppelin]

[HouseHobbit]
