So I've heard that Nick had an accident and he's now in Westmead Hospital. Might visit him when I get more information.
 
Same from me too Frankie, hope he's ok and recovers quickly! Never good to hear this sort of news...
 
That is sad news indeed Frankie. Please pass on my regards to Nick when you see him. I'll try his phone again and hope to get through to him.
 
Hi all
I've sent him a couple of txt's but no reply.

I'll confirm if he is still at Westmead and go over and see him today as I'm still on leave.
Will let all know if I find anything out.

Cheers
Stuart
 
I hope Nick is okay and that it is not serious. Give him my best and hope he is back up on his feet soon.

Thanks for the update Stuart and your plan to see Nick in hospital if he is still there, I am sure he will appreciate the visit. Tried his phone this morning however, his phone is still coming up as unavailable. I hope Nick is O.K. and is recovering well.

From the very limited information available it seems the accident Nick has suffered has knocked him about pretty badly. He may not have his phone (it could still be in the locker) with him so personal contact using his mobile has not been successful to date. Nick is still in hospital and although he may very well appreciate visitors, advice today is the hospital is only allowing N.O.K. to see him. I hope Stuart is able to somehow see Nick and get the chance to talk with him and let him know he is in our thoughts and we wish Nick a full recovery.

A thank you to Rusty, Stuart and Frankie for their help in passing on the updates about Nick and let's hope Stuart has good news about Nick should he be successful in scamming his way through security to see Nick.

Glen.

Hi all
I did get to see Nick today, but unfortunately the news is not great.

He was moved today to the Brain Unit which is a seperate building at the rear of the main building. He had only been moved there today and I had just missed his mother. The staff actually asked if I could help with some basic info as they had only just received him.

Initially he was calling me Phil, was disorientated and not exactly sure what was happening. He then did recognise me, but 15 mins later called me PHIL again. He had a bad knock to the head, 4 cracked ribs and collar bone as I understand.
I spent about an hour with him but he was asleep most of the time and did not recall what had happened.

Went to see and check on his mum as she is not able to move around a lot and has trouble with some household tasks. Thankfully she has a couple of friends who have been driving her to Hospital and helping where possible.

At present, the details are sketchy as Nick's mum is a little hard to understand, but appears the accident happened at Eastern Creek back on the 7th Jan and that he may have been hit from behind on a corner ( or the approach to one ). Sadly Nick's mum says she was worried when he hadn't been home as expected and she saw the footage on the news before she got the call.

She did feel that he has been getting better every time she sees him, but it might be awhile before he gets released.

Please note, the above is all I've been able to piece together from Hospital staff and Nick's mum. I'll be heading out there on Fiday morning again to see how he is going and will convey all your best wishes.

I'll keep all updated as I know more,
Cheers
Stuart
 
Thank you very much Stuart for being able to see Nick and for your very kind help for Nick's mother. As you have said here, going into the Neuro Unit today is serious care and for Nick and his mother I hope Nick is able to make a full recovery. From what you have seen today Nick is having problems with his memory but one thing is for sure he will very much appreciate your visit and once he hears about your kindness to his mother I am thinking you may have just scored a new Brother. Nick is a stand up bloke and would do whatever he could to help others so I just hope his good Karma is rewarded now when he needs it most.

Thank you Stuart.

Cheers mate,

Glen.
 
Thank you very much for the update Stuart. Clearly all of our thoughts are with Nick and his Mum at this time.

If you could keep us all up to date with progress when you can it would be greatly appreciated.

Wow, I just got home from 5 days of riding through the high country down south that Nick showed Stuart and myself through on the way down to Ebden for the 35th. Had sent Nick a couple of photo texts on the way through with no response, now I know why, very sad news. Hey Stuart or Frankie if you catch up with Nick please add me to the list of well wishers as thoughts are definitely with him in this time.
 
Hi Max
Yes, remember that ride and the good planning by Nick.
Will let him know when I see him on Friday.

Cheers
 
Thanks for the update Stuart, although that is very sad news indeed! I'm really glad to hear his mum has some friends to help her go see him though, that will be a big help and comfort to both Nick and herself I'm sure.

My thoughts are with him and I really hope he recovers fully from this and is back to being Nick again.
