Overall a Pretty Good Day

1_19_a
After getting some rather alarming news about my weight I had a pretty good day overall. Since I’m tipping the scales at 104 lbs they decided to graduate me from pureed food to chopped food. Even this small change is a big improvement in taste. Also the good hospital folks started me on a medication to boost my appetite. I’m going to need the strength because the therapy people have very creative ways to whip your butt even when you’re stuck in bed.

PS Thanks for buying my book and your kind donations to getwelltrev. There is one signed book available and more will be on the way.

  8. Hi Andrew,

    Your good attitude is going to make getting through this a lot easier. I've had a couple of bad crashes since the last time I visited with you guys in the LA offices and have spent many months recovering in varios beds and chairs. The drugs definitely helped--they make cable television much more interesting. But what helped even more was avoiding self pity, which is something it looks like you've already figured out.

    If you get bored with reruns of "The Deadliest Catch," send me an email at darwin.holmstrom@gmail.com. I'll hook you up with some reading material. I've got more than just motorcycle and car books for you, too; I've got a house full of literary books, military histories, and even a huge pile of action-adventure pulp novels. I found those were the easiest to follow when I was on massive narcotic cocktails.

  9. Hey Trevitt!

    Not to sound (too) gay but I was just looking at that photo of you and I in Sain that Dewhurst took during an R1 intro a few years ago and where we're crossing a bridge side-by-side. Those were good times and I look forward to riding with you again.

    I have to say, for whoever reads this that doesn't know Andrew all that well, he is a true gentleman, and honest, stand-up guy, and one of the most kind souls I've ever met. He is also a fighter and I know from the bottom of my heart that he's going to impress the doctors with his speedy and full recovery.

    Much love to you, Trev! And I look forward to seeing you again soon. I was up at 6420 the other day and it's not the same without you!

  14. Hi Andrew
    I met Marty today and we had a real nice chat. We would like to help sell your books in Canada. Let me know what we can do in selling the book. I am trying to get confirmation of daytona coverage on Speed Channel, Marty will inform you of my plan. I would imagine you are ready to get out of the big house. Rehab can be difficult and at times difficult. Please keep the fight and listen to rehab specialists. I hope you can get home soon and start working towards your new goals. We are thinking of you and your family. Will stay in touch.
    Get well soon.
