Thanks guys.
Sonny and Lisa will have prayers and thoughts to spare.

 

This is a great place to spread the support. Thanks guys.

 

WOW, just got back out of the field and saw this post. I hope he gets better soon.

 

Just got off the phone with Sonny. He sounded really good. He was about to go in to the OR again for them to fix his arm and leg. Both will be better assessed during surgery but it sounds as though some hardware will be used to set them. He told me that part of his wrist was shattered and their is a possibility of loosing some range in motion, to which he said: "maybe you will finally be able to beat me in Call of Duty now" . Because of internal bleeding, he had part of both is large and small intestine removed that night of the accident. They are leaving it open to be sure it heels well. Probably be in the hospital for 7 to 10 days, and will have a colostomy....alright have no idea how to spell that or say it...pardon my french, but a "$h!t bag" for 3 to 6 months.

As far as the accident went, he was riding his bike home from work (it was a nice day so he decided to take the bike rather than the Vette) on I-64 when he saw a minivan riding with its turn signal on the whole time. In true Sonny fashion he decided to be the nice guy and try and get the guys attention to tell him. When he turned around traffic, including the Dodge Dakota in front of him had come to an immediate stop. He estimates that he was doing about 50. He slammed the brakes and tried to skoot to the right to split the rush hour traffic to give him more stopping distance with little success and made a last split second attempt to sort of jump to the side but caught the handle bar.

He thinks the bike was probably totalled in the accident, but either way he told me that his bike riding days are over. This is his 2nd accident on it and with he and Lisa contemplating children he knows its the responsible thing to do.

Told him he had 3 posts of support running here to which he thought was really nice, and wanted to say thank you. Probably talk to him later tonight or tomorrow to see how the latest surgery goes. Will try to get down to see him soon as well.

I'll keep everyone posted.

I'll be in Richmond tomorrow Charlie. Sonny was suppose to go with me and told me yesterday that he is really bumed over not being able to go. I know Sonny and he would leave the hospital to go racing if he could. I'll make a few passes for ya Sonny!!

 

 

Good luck Scott. I spoke to Sonny yesterday right before his wrist and ankle surgery. No doubt that he would want to be there. My Vette is in the shop getting some body work done. Once I get it back I'll plan a trip down there to see him and we can all hang out. Should be done some point this week. Good luck racing.

 

Dude, Sonny is pretty cool. Sorry to hear about the crash, but at least he'll eal up, right? My thoughts are with him and his fam!

Make sure to have a big party when he's up and running!

 

He will heal up . He called me today and was in great spirits. I swear nothing can keep him down . I am probally going to swing by and see him tomorrow

for a speedy recovery Sonny

 

Dayum, Sonny! Not again! I'm still waiting to get mine back out of the shop! I think my riding is going to be restricted to pleasure only. No more commuting on the bike! Roads are getting too crazy!

 

for a speedy recovery!

 

I saw Sonny yesterday and the bad news is that he is still as ugly as ever, so no damage in that department from the accident. I was hoping that maybe the accident would improves his looks a little so he don't scare the girls away...............................no such luck!! Sorry bro.

He's already lost a good bit of weight and in a lot of pain most of the time. He's a morphine addict right now and won't share his stuff. I offered him $10 a button push of morphine for me, but he's still being greedy. He still does not have a cast on his left wrist/arm or right ankle/leg for the breaks due to swelling. The incision they made for his internal surgery is also still being left open until they are sure they don't need to do anymore surgeries. He also has a lot of road rash damage to his right forearm from elbow to wrist. Last but not least, he has a broken big toe also on his right foot. At least he won't be able to kick the wife for awhile!

He said to say thanks to all the members on here that have posted well wishes. He does have his laptop with him, but typing is still going to be a one fingered affair for awhile.

Wow...that is the greatest update I have ever read. Although it is not too late maybe we could do a carshow or poker run to raise money for a plastic surgen to fix the ugly while he is there....but I call dibs on the left over $$$ to fix some of my ugly.

I am gonna try to at least run by and pop in for a second to say Hi Saturday while I am out running erronds. Does he or Lisa need anything?

 

Just found this post. Sorry to hear about the accident. Hope he heals fast. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family for a speedy recovery.

 

Just called him... we've decided he can put his **** bag in one of Lisa's purses and he can pretend to be queer when we go bar hopping
