Well, It has been a while(a few weeks) and I am sure some of you are wondering where I went. I just was released from the hospital burn and recovery unit.

I had a pot of hot burning oil explode in my face causing 2nd and 3rd degree burns all over my face and hands. I am just getting home now and only have 20% use of my right hand(so I am typing this all left handed).

I start physical therapy this week, and perhaps if all goes well I will be online again soon. Forgive if i do no respond quickly as I tire quickly and making a post requires a great deal of energy.

I will check back in a day or two.

My best to you all,

RJ
 
I hadnt heard...

*hugs*

I'm so sorry to hear about your injury and I'm glad you're on the long road to recovering.

Yikes...don't worry about responding, just get yourself better. :rose:
 
Oh my gosh... Ouch. You take care of yourself RJ and don't worry about us! Come back when you can! :rose:
 
While we've not always agreed about everything, what happened to you is not something I would wish on anyone, especially not someone with as good a heart as you have - and who has been a good friend to many here, including me. I will keep you in my thoughts and keep some positive thoughts and vibrations flowing your way until you're fully healed. As KC said, don't worry about responding often - just take good care of yourself, and get well!

Rj My thoughts and prayers go out to you I am so sorry to read of this.. I hope you recover soon and are back typing soon..
 
Oh, God, that sucketh majorly. Glad to hear you're out of the hospital, but worry about getting well rather than talking to us. Your health > Lit. ;) Sending good vibes your way.
 
Holy shit, thats a terrifying sort of accident! I'm so sorry to hear that you've had such an awful thing happen to you. Like others have said, take good care of yourself! I hope you make a full recovery soon. :rose:
 
My dear, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you in anyway. You just rest and get well. You are missed and cared for greatly.

*hugs and kisses*
 
I'm so sorry to hear that you've been injured! I wish you a swift recovery and I'm sending positive vibes your way.:rose:

{{{Hugs}}} gently :rose:

I am sorry. I know you won't feel yourself anytime soon, but I hope this helps.
 
Good luck with your recovery, RJ. You're a sharp guy and I can imagine that you'll be working your ass off to get yourself back into shape. I hope you have the same kind of luck that I did with physical therapy: all the therapists that I dealt with resembled either Jennifer Lopez or Jennifer Anniston.
 
RJ,

That's a horrifying accident.

I am glad you are out of the hospital now.

I'm sending positive thoughts your way.

Oh my gawd.

I'm sorry to hear about such a horrible thing... I hope that your recovery goes well, and that your physical therapy is a full success.

*gentle hugs*
 
Holy accident, Batman. Regardless of any disagreements we may have had, I'm unhappy to hear about this and I hope you feel better soon.

Why do they seem to have half the brain power of each and to be magically devoid of the empathy switch, though?
 
RJ,

You are in my thoughts and prayers. I've been badly burned a couple of times, though probably no where near as severe. I won't pretend I know what you are going through beyond the general "I've had surgery and understand it can take a long time with physical therapy to recover." stuff.

But I'll keep you close, bro. Do what you need to, get better.
 
Thank you for the email. I know that couldn't have been easy to type. And you know, there's no hurry to do anything but get better and get back to your full self.

I'm so sorry that this happened to you. Get yourself better... everything else falls into it's natural place.
 
Sorry to hear about your accident. I know that having a burn injury in the facial area can be a serious, life threatening event so I'm glad to know that you're on the mend. I wish you a speedy recovery and hope that all goes well with PT. I'm sending positive healing energy your way. :rose:
