DubbsFaris Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 matt sounded great today! On a side note, the nurse told me he has had so many calls and visits, she thought he was a celebrity! LOL I am out of town and trying to post on an Iphone, so I may be a little scarce for the next couple days. But I am checking in with Matt daily.

Sherri Leicht Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 I just got off the phone with Matt. He says he still is experiencing numbness of his left hand and forearm but today is moving his pointer and middle fingers. His left sholder is still very painful along with his neck. He had just been given a bath and said that the nurses were not as cute as his girlfriend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimC Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Hay Matt, Don't know if you will get this, but we are glad you are doing better and pray for a speedy recovery. Jim & Shirley #66 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchGT500 Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 I did call Matt yesterday. He was surprised to get a call from The Netherlands. He was doing well, although I noticed he was talking a bit groggy. But pretty normal after a crash like that. I wished him a speedy recovery.

sportscars Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 I also talked to Matt yesterday. He is still unsure of when he can leave. He is having trouble standing because of dizzyness. They are looking at his inner ear. His left arm is still numb also. They think it may be some kind of temporary nerve damage. His girlfriend and her aunt are there with him, but his mom had to go back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APPLESREDGT500 Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 I am happy to hear Matt is getting better, we are thinking of him and his family, hope for a speedy recovery too.

JeffJ Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Anybody get to talk to Matt over the past couple days? Thinking about him every day. Hopefully he is doing better and will get to come back to the forums soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchGT500 Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Hi Jeff, He is home now. No recent news. When I see the horseback riding photos with him and his hat. We both wore our hats often, I think about him too. I also think about Courtney. Way too early to leave live. Very sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilbleak Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 All, Words cannot express how much everyone did for me both following the accident and all of the phone calls and visits in the hospital. I'm back in Houston now and taking some time off of work to recover. I still have some nerve damage in my left hand and I've been getting pounding headaches from withdrawal from all of the pain medicine they had me on, but hopefully those are on the way out. I still don't remember anything from the accident and a part of me wishes I don't ever remember. The resort still has my stuff (they're waiting for big enough boxes) but since I'm not going anywhere I can wait. I haven't seen any photos of the accident but from what I hear it was pretty bad. The fact that I was able to more or less walk away from an accident that bad with only some numbness in my left hand speaks volumes for the safety engineering Ford put into our cars. Even though the accident happened at normal highway speeds, I haven't decide if I want another high performance car (my family would definitely feel better if I didn't buy another one).

Son of GT Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Welcome home. Glad to read that you are on the mend and getting better everyday. Don't dwell on what happened in the past, just focus on the future and feeling better. What happened is no one's business but your own, so don't feel compelled to answer any inapproprate questions or post any details or information about the incident; I recommend that you just ignore any questions if they happen to come your way. As it has been said by many here already, get well soon Matt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedRacer Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Matt, Welcome home! Bea and I have a present from us and everyone else that was at Terlingua for you.

Weather you buy another Shelby or not, I hope you still frequent the sie--you made some friends for life. God's speed and get better soon. Regards.

JimC Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Hope the head ache's end soon as for the hand, neve's heal; they just take their sweet little old time. Been there done that one. Glad to hear you are home Matt, about time we were beginning to think you were going to take up residency and become a career patient, we were kind'a puzzled; I know patient food isn’t that good. Take it easy and taake care talk to ya later. PS. Start quizzing squeezing a tennis ball. Corrected because it would be silly to quiz a tennis ball, after all they can't talk...can they?

I know exactly what you meant, but I just got this visual of a person asking questions to a tennis ball and just started to crack up. Sometimes typos can be funny.

Budman340 Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Hi Matt, I think that we are ALL glad that you are home. It will take some time to heal, and take the time needed. Do not rush it. We are all part of the Shelby family and we wish you nothing but the best. Take care and take the time needed. We will all still be here!!! Glad you are home!!!!
