nyc man down in pdx....
polo accident. one of the posters on here (bldzr) was wounded in a polo match. he's in the hospital right now, hopefully to be soon released with some sore spots and good health...but possibly also to be released with broken bones and little possibility to work soon. i know we've passed the hat here and i don't know if anything else will happen in that regard, but a lot of people's thoughts are with this dude, and i want to let people know this happened.
i know, for my part, i hope he's okay.

well, i thought perhaps some support might come of this...i'm sure he needs some support of some kind right now, given his potential injuries.

I hope he's ok. What were his injuries? I always though of polo as pretty low-impact, but I guess we don't realize how dangerous things are until they happen.

Unfortunately, the BMEF can't be accessed in Bill's case because he wasn't hurt on the job. I don't know the SF rider's situation. Also, the emergency fund is running quite dry so if any of you are feeling generous, go to the above link.

he is out of ICU right now. Apparently he is going to be in the hospital for a while and he might not be able to fly anywhere for some time. This is due to the pressure from the cabin and the nature of his injury. anyone can go to www.portlandmessenger.org and donate to his fund. Looks like he is going to have one hell of a bill.

^^^good to hear he's out...but it's too bad it'll affect him so much longer. going to that site is a good idea.
