		<description>Sixty-eighty days in the hospital is something I wouldn&#039;t wish on my worst enemy, or even my ex-girlfriend.  

Congratulations on making it through a very difficult situation.

		<description>Dear Pedro,

I am still in shock with the news!  I really hope you get out of hospital ASAP!  But I am also amazed at your strong will and positive attitude after being through all this. I hope Carolina isn&#039;t missing her Daddy too much and that Gabriela is coping well with all this. As to little children not liking your new leg, just wait until you have a litte boy... You&#039;ll be his hero !!  (&quot;My dad survived this HUGE motor bike accident and has this very COOL left leg!&quot;) 

Muitos Beijos,
Leonor

PS-Maybe you don&#039;t remember but June 20th is also my BDay. So next time you think about this date, think about as my BDay and not as that horrible accident, please!</description>

		<description>Pedo, peco desde ja&#039; desculpa por estar a invadir o teu espaco, mas dei muito muito por um acaso com esta tua pagina pessoal e nao consegui ficar de maneira nenhuma indiferente a esta noticia. Conhecemo-nos ha&#039; muitos anos atras nas Berlegas, teria eu uns 16 anos e tu 18. Mantivemos contacto mas passado algum tempo deixamos de dar noticias. Ainda assim queria aqui deixar os meus mais sinceros desejos de melhoras. Que tudo corra bem, que te recuperes o mais depressa possivel e que tenhas toda a sorte do mundo.
Um abraco!</description>

		<description>I am so sorry for your accident/happy you weren&#039;t more seriously injured.

I also ride a Yamaha Majesty 400, so my scoot feels for your scoot, too.  ;-)

Get well soon!</description>

		<description>Que grande aventura e que espírito! Fico muito contente por estares a encarar tão bem este &quot;contratempo&quot; na tua vida e se precisares das minhas filhas para servirem de modelos para tirares fotografias com a tua  futura nova máquina Canon, é só pedir.
Beijos de toda a família  desejamos que te recuperes depressa e bem:)

		<description>Well young man, I am very sorry to hear about your accident but I am happy that you are ok.  The hospital thing, do what they tell you so you can improve and get the heck out of there.  Yes sir it does sound like you were very lucky.  God Bless and hope you are out of there soon.  Jesse</description>

		<description>I just met you on the scooter scoop.  I was disheartened to read about your injuries. I just wanted to thank you for your gift of information that we scooter newbies find most enriching.  Get well soon. Don&#039;t give up the ride.

		<description>The best tip on getting out of the hospital is your already great attitude!  Be cheerful and upbeat, ask lots of questions, and be nice to the staff and they will treat you like family.

Wishing you a speedy recovery and best of luck.</description>

		<description>Estimado Pedro, espero que te recuperes pronto para poder volver a montar en moto, que es la mejor manera de superar un accidente asi. Aunque de momento vendas la tuya para comprarte una Canon.
Conozco a quien le pasó por encima del pié un autobus y se recuperó completamente.
Animos desde España y suerte con la recuperación.

Ah, he sabido de tu accidente por el blog de Steve.</description>

		<description>Dear Pedro,

I hope you&#039;re recovering well.  And I fully respect your reasons for not riding anymore.

When I heard the news of your accident, I said to myself, &quot;My, gosh!  You and I had the lucks--same type of accident on the exact same day!&quot;  Except you&#039;ve got it on your leg and I might have a ruptured disc on my spine (pending results from CT scans).  I was very fortunate to get back on my messed up Aprilia SR50 the next day!

What can I say...got to ride on, man.  I made a promise to the spirit of my uncle who was killed in a motorcycle accident years ago that I would ride on for him, so I will.  Good luck in your future endeavors.

Scoot Happy!!

		<description>I know we&#039;ve chatted about this already, but I just wanted to come here to add &quot;get well soon&quot;, in a permanent record.

I&#039;m sure you&#039;ll be back on your feet soon.  I&#039;m just glad you didn&#039;t injure your shutter-button finger.  We&#039;ll continue to carry the scooter torch for you here in Austin, Texas -USA.

Wishing you the best,

		<description>No tips either. :-)
Get well - most important, completely well.   Take the chance to do things that normally you don&#039;t have time to do, like reading and writing. I can imagine it&#039;s boring to be closed in a hospital bed room but, well... life surprises us when we don&#039;t expect it. :-)

(queres que te leve um logbook para logares? :-) )</description>
