Many of you know long time member Jeff (Used2bfast) had a really hard off on the tail of the dragon last week. I wanted to start a thread for his well wishes from all of us. There was a thread in Squid Farm about the cruiser rider that crashed & left the mess that Jeff crashed in. This was from his son a few days back for those that didn't see the other thread.
Hey this is Jeff's son, he is in pretty bad shape, going to be in ICU for possibly 3 weeks.
Fractured skull around orbital area
Missing top 4 teeth
Lip split up to nose
Broken neck
Broken back (again)
2 collapsed lungs
Multiple ribs broken on both sides
Lacerated liver
Busted up kidney
Heavy bruising on right side
He is responsive only by movement of hands and a slight head nod. Thanks for all your thought and prayers!
Breathing on his own for the most part, ate food for the first time and drank water for the first time today. Trying to talk a little, still not out of the woods yet but it's definitely some progress!
A message from his wife, Mel
Jeff is now stable but still in critical condition. Injuries he has sustained include fractured skull at frontal lobe and orbital area, missing four front teeth with torn lip, facial reconstruction in the future, broken C1,C2,T3,L2,L3 and L4, broken ribs on both sides and collapsed lungs with lacerations to liver and kidney. Thank you for all your love, prayers, and support.
This is an update from yesterday.

Just a quick update on my dad. Came off ventilator on Saturday and seemed to be doing ok but apparently he was having a harder time than we thought trying to breathe on his own. So as of this morning they had to put him back on the ventilator. Still has chest tube for right lung and they are waiting until they can remove the chest tube before they are going to put the hallo on him. Will update again soon! Thanks for all your support!

Get well soon Jeff, hope this all passes quickly as possible for you.
A cool old picture that was posted a while ago on here. A quote from Jeff's thread, "From back in the day at 'little Taladaga. I'm #18 in a 2 wheel drift while in first trying to hold off then good friend Scott Russell(#22). Of course that lasted about 2 more corners..as usual."
