I tried calling u juice -- I got a call from STU n I'm thinkn he wants to ride tomorrow-- it was a 1st responder telling me he's got both wrist broken his arm and jaw but in good spirits-- he just kept begging for some water.. All that gear he was wearing was hot but really did the job.. I'm thinking I will be n full gear for now on.. I could only think of how skinned up he coulda been plus the breaks... Get well bud !

[BladeRunner]

Prayers sent.... I will go see him tomorrow after work.

[king4456]

Just got in from the hospital. All CT scans were negative and they took him off the backbrace board. One of the broken arms is actually bad enought to warrant orthopedic surgery tonight. No rods or pins just stabilizing the arm and another surgery to fix it tommorrow. His jaw isnt broken but he did need stitches somewhere on his head and his mouth is pretty cut up from the modular shoei moving in about a half inch towards his jaw. It wasn't a lady but a man that was leaving the bayview who pulled out in front of Stu. I was told the guy in the truck had called the hospital to check on him a few times already. The nurse kept telling us how polite Stu was through all this and he couldnt have pain meds until the CT scan checked out.

[cbbr]

Thoughts and prayers Stu.

[allanj255]

In our thoughts, here's to a good recovery

[2Evil4U]

Awwww shit. I hate hearing this stuff. Reminds me how fragile we all are. Feel better Stu.

Get well soon

Holy shit! I saw the EMS and everyone else there. Anyone knows the room he's in? Is he still at the hospital if so pm me room number and everthing. I will go check on him this evening.

Just a reminder how shit can hit the fan quick fast and in a hurry.

[I_FLY_LOW]

He was in ICU last night, until surgery time. I beleive he's in observation, at this time.
They're limiting his visitation, if any for now.

He's at St. Elizabeth's Hospital, on Hwy 30 Gonzales.
1125 W Highway 30
Gonzales, LA 70737
(225) 647-5000
You can give them a call, and see what's the scoop on visitation and such.

We did hear, this morning, that all the surgeries went well last night.
They were going to just do what they needed to clean out the wounds, and do any rods and pins today.
Everything went so well, that they went ahead and did everything, last night. Rods pins, plates, etc. So far he's in good condition, considering.

They were able to get ahold of his parents last night.
They should be here around 3-4 pm today.

Thanks for the update, I will call and try to go visit him if they allow him visitors. Why does shit like this happen to people like Stu? Can't tell you how many bikes roll around that area with riders intoxicated and poor ole Stu just out for a ride gets the shaft. Kind of pisses me off.

[I_FLY_LOW]

In light of it all, I believe it makes him aware that though he may not have siblings / family here, that he does indeed have a family with us..

It's not much, but it's one positive way to look at it.
Stu's kept his chin up, throuout this ordeal, so far.

I am not surprised by that, Stu always has the most laid back attitude and I couldn't see him do anything but hold his chin up and deal with whatever. Hope he heals up quick though, doesn't sound like fun when people start talking about pins and screws...

[Redbird]

Holy Shit! Thanks for the updates guys. I'm on overnight and wont be back until tomorrow. But I'm going to pass by the hospital when I get back.

Prayers for a speedy recovery Stu ;)

[Dusty]

Does anyone have any details on the crash? What exactly happened? Was his bike a total?

Prayers sent!

[Rocky]

Keep your head up Brother, we are praying for you.

[Juice]

I do not want to start any rumorers but i heard it was alcohol related. A guy pulled out of a bar parking lot right into Stewart's path.

Does anyone know if he needs anything? Does he have family in town? Anyone go by and check out his home? Maybe turn on lights or something?

[chopt]

Hoping for a speedy recovery.

man, I hated seeing this post.

[Badger]

Hope you feel better soon.

[I_FLY_LOW]

FYI I received this in a PM, this morning, if anyone has a min to visit...

" he's in room 240 if you didn't know, but will likely be released by afternoon (or so they say)"

Holy crap I just saw this! So glad to hear it wasn't worse. Heal fast Stu.

So is he getting out today?

[Juice]

The wife just left the hospital. She said that it looks like they are going to be keeping him for a couple of more days.

[Fitty]

What's Stu's last name?

[I_FLY_LOW]

Stewart Scully

[I_FLY_LOW]

thanks for that tidbit, Juice, I was wondering.
Everything's ok though? it's just a routine observation thing, keeping him that long?

[Doug]

Hey Stu, rest now now and heal quick.
Lotta folks out there that love ya and praying for ya.
Glad you're still with us bro...

[six fiddy]

good luck stu; prayers sent

[Redbird]

I went and saw him today. I stuck around from about 2:30pm to about 4:30pm. He's in pain, but he's was in good spirits. He still has his sense of humor. He was also moving around alot better than (I'm told) he was yesterday. And as Juice said, they're hoping to send him home Thursday but more likely Friday. But that's assuming he doesn't run into any complications.
I talked to Ben, who went to see him later this evening, and he said Stu was having a rough time.
Hope ya feel better Stu;)

While I was there one of the First Responders (and a friend of Stu's) stopped by to check on him. He brought paper printouts of some pics he took at the scene. I asked Stu if he'd mind if I posted them. Stu said "Go ahead. If it makes one person wear their gear, it's worth it". I have two of the bike, and two of the truck. It's amazing he wasn't hurt worse...

Ho leee shit!

Not much left of the GS, and the truck has seen better days.

Here's hoping that you get out of the hospital and home comfortable soon.

[Zeek]

Wishing you a speedy recovery Stu.

[2Evil4U]

Holy shit. That's a bad hit.

That has the potential to total the truck if it tweaked the sub frame at all.

Wow. Get well soon, Stu.

[Juice]

Wow, I am at a complete lost for words. Physically, I don't see how you are still here with us. Hold Fast my friend!

[minig0d]

wow.... prayers for a speedy recovery stu!

[Redbird]

That has the potential to total the truck if it tweaked the sub frame at all.

When I was looking at the pics yesterday I told him "Good News, you probably totalled his truck. Due to the amount of damage to the rocker panel".

Stu said "Good!" :D


Oh, and if anyone is just thinking about visiting, or is hesisitant because they don't want to intrude or take away from his time with his parents... GO VISIT HIM!

His parents are wonderful people (you can see where Stu gets it from) who welcomed me while I was there, and had nothing but good things to say about everyone that has stopped by. In fact his mother told me that she used to worry about Stu being here with no Family close by, but now she sees that he has a good Family here.

[Ritten]

HOLY SHIT!!!!!! That is one hell of a testament to wear your gear! Take it easy man and heal up fast.

[2Evil4U]

If Stu was actually given the ticket for 60 in a 35 he shouldn't have too much trouble getting that tossed:

[opus68]

Actually I hope they don't total his truck. Make the fucker have to go through all the shit of having it rebuilt and then not looking or fitting right, leaks, time with no vehicle, etc.
Totalling will allow him to just get a new one. Having to have it fixed will inconvenience him more. Just my .02.

[2Evil4U]

Just got back to work from visiting Stu. He's sitting in a chair watching TV. In pretty good spirits all things considered. Still in quite a bit of pain. They've got him using O2 (I'm guessing because of the pain meds) but he's looking pretty good.

He said he's not used to being off the web thsi long. If anyone has a leptop connect card and a laptop you could bring to let him surf a bit, I was able to get 2-bars H on my AT&T tilt. (H>3G) so cellular connections shouldn't be a problem unless the hospital forbids it.

He said the truck turned left in front of him for what it's worth.

If he's lucky, he might be able to go home tomorrow, but I'm betting another day or two.

Room 240, visiting hours 'til 8pm.

[lovethewater72]

I just saw the pictures. WOW!! I'm so glad you are with us Stu!

[scootertrash]

Wow! I haven't gotten by there yet. If I can get out of work around 7 I will check on him on the way home. Looks like the GS took a lick on that one. Glad it took the majority of the damage! Glad to see people have been checking on Stu, good on you if you made it. I am still slacking on getting by there.

[opus68]

I am still slacking on getting by there.

Me too. Gonna try to go by tonight.

I may try to swing by there this evening as well...

Man, those pics are insane! I am so glad you weren't hurt worse Stu! I wish I was able to come visit you but I'm sending prayers and good thoughts for a speedy recovery.

[Britton]

I just heard about this from Ted. I wish you a speedy recovery Stu!

[high-c]

Prayers for a speedy recovery, the bike and gear can be replaced. Thank God your still with us!

[haulazz]

well either Stu i one tuff son of a nice mother ---or he had on some high quality gear---that bike is twisted in half all the way around---Stu glad to see thats all the injuries you suffered after seeing that---ooohhh and im guessing the bike will be a total loss---not for sure but im thinking it will --LOL !

[Redbird]

Stopped by and visited again this afternoon. Stu's getting around better. His Mom said he was walking around yesterday. And he's more "animated" today... not as groggy either. He's in good spirits, but he's ready to go home. Unfortunately there's no definite word on when that's going to happen.

Get well Dude ;)

[Juice]

Looks like his is doing better than the rest of us. :respect:

oh oh my!! I cant believe i just now saw this! Wow, Stu, its amazing your bike looks like that, and you fared so well. If its enough impact to bend all that steel I cant imagine your pain!!

I'll pray for you, man-o, hang in there

on an unrelated note, I patronized the bayview 2 weekends ago, and indeed there were some drunken fools up there... thats a scary twisty, windy road to have drunks on it!

[Shaq Diesel]

thanks for all the well wishes.

to give you an idea of how it went down, time how long it takes to say "you've gotta be kidd..." and that will give you an idea of how long i had to react from when he started turning in front of me. this is what burns me the most. if he had turned in earlier and at least gave me a fighting chance to avoid him... and given how light traffic was and how many different areas there are to turn into bayview at...

from what i can best guess my arms acted as a shock barrier at impact. i'd like to think the leather jacket prevented my broken bones from being worse. the helmet did its main job. i can't say i'd rush out to replace it with another modular right now though.

after impact i probably slightly flew into the truck, causing some bruising on my left side that is almost gone.

bridgette is gone. i had plans of her seeing 100K miles. she tok me to places i probably would not have gotten to see and taught me quite a bit along the way.

[Dirty_Sanchez]

Glad you made it through to see the other side Stu-really am.

Sorry I missed the visit with the guys the other day but I was gone with the Scouts .

Bridget?-replacable, it sucks, I know, I've been the same position twice, once on a cherry old Vespa, and on the old Gray Mare.

Good wishes, and if there's anything you need a hand with let me know.

whoa stu. im glad you can type! how long did it take you to get that posted? Whats the word with rehab and recovery and time away from work? ya ok?

ps. bayview is pretty redneck. I just go there for the worm buckets. lol. my next patronage of redneck venues shall be the prop stop.

Stu, Ted picked up your new rubber from Friendly. I have them in my shop. Let me know when you are ready, and i will mount and balance them for you.
