hogmaw Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 We all drive fast and we all think this will never happen to us. Poor lad, and he wasn't even driving. Let's hope he pulls through. Come on son you can do it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieSteve Posted June 26, 2006 Author Share Posted June 26, 2006 Not much can. Time, support and his own strength is what's gonna swing it. Luckily Newcastle have a fantastic group of very experiences surgens. He's in the best place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted June 26, 2006 Author Share Posted June 26, 2006 Karl is out of surgery and back into intensive care. They had to remove part of his brain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 sad to hear but still doesnt mean full recovery isnt possible. I saw a programme where they remove part of a persons brain when concious because of cancer. Still have faith! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted June 26, 2006 Author Share Posted June 26, 2006 Just googled it and it's something they can do to relieve epilepsy. He's back on the critical list. Lets hope the removal will lower the pressure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminator Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 I think the car sounds laptop idea is a good one. I am sure if his parents agree, we could put something for Karl together very quickly. Hang in there Karl, you can make it. You have to get better so you can have a ride in my car when it is built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieSteve Posted June 27, 2006 Author Share Posted June 27, 2006 All your messages went to the hospital yesterday. I only copied the text and your name (so no sigs or avi's etc.) and the bloody thing was still 10 pages long lol Be proud of yourselves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markssupra Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Only just seen this thread. Hope he pulls through OK, can only imagine how his family feel. Really sad to hear this happen to anyone but so young as well. Our thoughts are with him and his family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelfill Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 I hadn't seen this until talking to Dodgy this evening. This is so very very sad. Karl always seemed to be really enthusiastic, and it must have taken a lot of bottle to post pictures of his cars on a Supra forum, for which I remember him taking some tongue in cheek comments. The passion he had for the Supra was unbelievable though, and it was obvious that his cars were simply stepping stones on the route to eventually owning a Supe. I sincerely hope that dream will be realised, and I send him my best wishes I really hope he pulls through. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guru Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Can't believe I missed this thread but I feel worse for readin it. Not much you can say really apart from how everyone feels for the guy. Lets hope the doctors do their job and at least get him a chance at some kind of recovery! My prayers are with you tonight Karl! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i-macca Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Don't know the guy, but this thread has really moved me. Be strong Karl and pull through, we all know you can do it. I'll look forward to seeing you post on the forum in the future. All the best dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
