amazing!

Most of my readers know me. They know whats been going on the past week that I have not updated, and they think, "Where did he come up with the name of this post?"
Allow me to elaborate. This past Monday (a week ago tomorrow) I raced my last race of the season. About 3 miles into the race, I wrecked. I was knocked unconscious before I even hit the ground, and did not wake up until I had been in the ER for several minutes. I was at this race by myself, not knowing a single person there, so tracking down my parents was very difficult. While I was at this race, my parents were visiting my AMAZING sister and her AMAZING house hold. Seeing how I was in Atlanta, and my parents were in Virginia, it made options very limited. The hospital knew virtually nothing about me, and I pretty much knew nothing about my self. Through the AMAZING effort done by the AMAZING ER staff, they were able to track down my AMAZING mom and she was able to fly down asap. While my mom was in the air, the ER staff was unbelievable! Not only that, but people in general were AMAZING! There was one woman (a mom to a bike racer that was also in the hospital) that offered to stay with me! She offered to help track down my mom, and offered to virtually stand in as my mom until my real mom came! I was AMAZED by the curiosity of this woman. Not only was this woman so nice, the hospital staff was AMAZING! I had a very cute ER nurse that was assigned to me. She was so nice and thoughtful. I can remember her rushing in to tell me she got hold of a family member. and her going way out of her way to do things for me. I also remember another ER nurse who's husband was a fire fighter that was working at the race. She was an avid bike rider with a 5 series Madone. I think her and her husband do triathlons and she was so gracious. She even went through the trouble of tracking down the race promoter and video of the wreck and things like that. I also remember my ER doctor. This guy was extremely nice and very funny. I can remember just before I left the ER somehow hot women got brought up between he and I. I can't really remember who brought it up but I asked if the nurses up stairs were as hot as the nurses in the ER. He replied saying that the nurses upstairs were no where near as hot, and he was right haha. The entire hospital staff was AMAZING. I cannot even begin to describe how gracious and nice they were. I only wish I knew their names. AMAZING!
As my AMAZING mom flew down to take care of me and bring me home, my AMAZING step dad drove home from Virginia. As soon as he get home, he began tracing down my bike. This task my sound easy, but it was far from it. It took my AMAZING step dad four days to finally track down my bike. For those four days, he was tirelessly calling people trying to find my 4,000 dollar bike. I think it was Thursday morning when it finally showed up. I'm sure it will be broken, however it will be nice to put my mind at ease. Although for some reason I am not very worried about the bike. Perhaps it is the medicine, but for some reason I do not care about my bike being broken. Either way, my bike would still be in Atlanta if not for my AMAZING step dad.
Once I got home on Tuesday, I immediately began getting hold of my bosses. First was the guys at Cedar Bluff Cycles. Gerri and the rest of the guys were AMAZING. I knew that MIG would be AMAZING seeing how we are practically best friends. What surprised me is how AMAZING and thoughtful Geri and Tim were. Not only did they give me the necessary time off, but they have been passing the word on to all my friends, but they have been very sympathetic. Not only did I contact the guys at Cedar Bluff Cycles, but I also contacted my bosses at the Rush. I some how managed to email them and let them know of the news and they were so helpful. My main boss Erin has been very understanding and AMAZING for that. My Oak Ridge boss has just been all around AMAZING! Julie has been so helpful with finding subs. She has been so sympathetic. I'm sure she has gone so far out of her way to make it easy on me and I am so grateful for that. All my bosses have been AMAZING!
And finally my family and friends have been AMAZING! I would have never imagined this many people giving me their wishes. It has just blown my mind! A friend like Maxey that has called me everyday! People like the Sweckers (my bro Stefan and his parents) that have sent me gifts and nice phone calls. My Facebook profile has exploded with friends wishing me luck! I had no idea this many people care about me! It is AMAZING! Dozens of friends giving me their wishes. I am so appreciative that I cannot even describe! And family, geez talk about be blessed! I have family members constantly calling me, praying for me. I even have people that I don't even know praying for me and wishing me to get better. AMAZING! I've got my entire Dads side of the family constantly praying for me! I've got my step-moms co-workers and church members constantly wishing me luck and praying for me. People I have met once in my life sending me their wishes. I am AMAZED by the support of everyone! My parents (I have a lot of people that parent me even though they are not my birth parents) are all being so supportive and AMAZING! And all my moms (like I said there are several people that are not my parents that are like parents) are so supportive, they are AMAZING!
I know this is not a conventional blog post, but this is not a conventional time of my life. Seeing how I virtually have no left hand, it is very hard to type. I will give an actual update later on. I just feel like I have to thank everyone! This battle is far from over for me and I hope to continue to have all this support over the next month. The Doctors are not expecting my thumb to get back to normal for another 6-8 weeks. Please continue giving me this unparalleled AMAZING support!
Sincerely,
Jon
