Stu,that caricature pic is da bomb man, I laugh every time I think about it. You just can't keep an old picker down...LOL...(ps; u think the pic looks better than Herb?...Stormy

Herb--just saw this and wanted to wish you the best for a quick recovery...we need you back in action...

Herb, Sure hate to hear about your accident. Hope you are mending well.

Herb, I just had dinner with old friend Gary Kaplan and for reasons that escape me I mentioned your accident and L.A. history. He gave me an odd look and said, "Ask him about The Pseudo Mountain Boys". Well?

Sorry to hear of your acccident, Herb. I'm glad you weren't more severely injured. Also sorry for the loss of your vintage 240Z. Airbags and crumple zones probably arn't such a bad thing. Here's to a quick recovery.

Herb,

I just now read this thread about your accident, good time to break out the dobro I guess. Don't get impatient, recovery may be frustrating at times, so try to use this time to work on some new joke material.

Steel guitars are much safer than cars! Hoping you have a quick recovery, Herb.

But not too much. When I play it sounds like a car wreck!!

Herb sorry to hear about your accident mate, the best way to keep off your foot is to sit at your steel so it can't be that bad - shame you can't make it to Dallas, but I hope to catch up with ya next year !

Best with the recovery.

Uncle Herb! Wow, just learned about this. Auset and I send our best wishes and prayers for a swift and complete recovery.

Be well and get well.


Love,

Brad and Auset

Herb - just saw this post. My prayers & best wishes to you for a speedy recovery. I enjoyed conversing with you recently in PHX.
God's Blessings to you -Good Friend....

Man, stay away from the Forum for a few days, and come back to find this! Herb, prayers for a speedy and complete recovery, my friend.

Herb, I just now read about this accident... I am hoping for a speedy recovery for you. Yer pal. ..jeff

Herb, I'm just getting around to saying hello and how terrible I feel for you. I know that you will recover from this my friend. In the meantime, catch up on some old records, youtubes, phone calls & rest.

Herb....I haven't been on here in a while so I was shocked to hear about the accident. I hope you get better soon! And...if you need anything you know I'm right down the road just let me know!!!

Herb I kind of know what you are going through. I didn't break my foot but I frectured a bone in my back. It hurt so bad I couldn't do anything but lay in bed and take the medications they gave me. After I started to heal I noticed I couldn't lift my left foot off the floor. After a back surgery too repair the bone they said would heal on its own, and 2 months recovery I went to 2 specialists, a sports medicine Doc, and he gave some shots in my ankle , one every two weeks for 2 months. I also went to a chiropractor about the same time and the lady gave me an electrical shock treatment that along with the shots really looseded my ankle.
It is still in a recovery mode. I am able to play but sometimes I wished I hadn't.
Herb you are a good man and with the forum behind you and the Lord too, I wish you a speedy recovery.
Call me when you get tired of nursing that NOSE and FOOT, and thanks for getting me another shot on the Texas Show, it has been awhile,
Your Friend

Hey Herb,

Sorry to hear about your accident, and I'm going to miss you in Dallas.

I had a similar deal a couple of years ago (severely broken ankle). I did two things which really helped:

-put a volume control on my pedal steel because the volume pedal was a no go

-Got a roll-a-bout walker, which is much better than a walker or crutches. It looks like this:

Maybe you could become a part of this program ..



Get well soon, Herb!

Herb, sorry to hear about the accident.
Get well soon, the Chi-Town crew is rootin' for ya!

Herb: Best wishes for a speedy recovery. I can't believe news like this wasn't front page in the Dripping Springs Courier-News.

But at least it lead to the creation of one of the finest caricatures EVER!!

FEEL BETTER>

I've been away for the past 10 days and just came upon this.....

I'm sorry to hear of your accident and injuries......I'm also happy that you're not in the Gone Home section......

I wish you a full recovery......you're very much loved here.....as you can see......

Yikes, Herb. Not reading the rest of the forum, I'd not heard about this before, and prayers and wishes for a full recovery.

Dang, Herb. Not reading the other bits of the forum, I'd not heard about any of this. Commiserations and best wishes for a full recovery.
