Hi Wyell and the list!

> Anyone hear anything more on how Jeff Vance is doing ?

I am at home recovering and trying not to go stir crazy.  I have planned
to write up a bit more on what happened and the various (mis)diagnosis
that took place in Canada and the US.  However, my incredibly slow
typing has postponed this narrative, but not indefinitely.  Maybe next
week I'll be able to start...

Bottom line: I crashed my mtn bike at Whistler bike park in B.C.  I've
been diagnosed with Central Cord Syndrome. Google searches will paint a
situation worse than mine. I am doing well all things considered. I had
a very close call wrt being paralyzed, but now I am walking using a
cane. My arms and hands are weak. My endurance is also poor. But, I am
using all limbs and I notice progress (sometimes small) every single
day. I am expected to make a full or nearly full recovery, but I don't
know the timeframe.  My wife, Cathy, has been amazing during all of
this. My 3 girls have been great too.  After spending 19 days in a
hospital and in in-patient rehab, I can say from experience and
observation that family and friends are what matters the most. I am very
thankful for the good friends I have.

best to all,
 Jeff Vance
