Hi, this is June posting for John.  Last week while vacationing in Fairmont John had a dizzy spell and fainted.  As he says 'I broke the fall with my head'.  Geesh.  He fractured a rib and punctured his lung.  They took him via amblance to Invermere and transferred the next day to Crabrook ICU.  He seems to be on the mend now.  Just thought we would give you an update.  John says 'You don't need a motorcycle to get hurt'.

Holy carp, sorry to hear this. Glad to hear you're going to be o.k. and are on the mend. Give us shout if you need anything, you know we're close by. And keep us up to date.

Take care John, and you too June. Rob & Erica

Glad to hear he's on the mend.  Will be interested in hearing his interactions within our ailing health system.

Modern medicine is amazing, they should be able to to detect what caused your fainting spell and correct it.  In the meantime  i wish you a s speedy recovery my friend.

Get well soon.

 Sounds like a low BP issue ? Get that sorted before you do any riding..

Thanks for posting this. ( The man formerly known as JC ) John, and here I thought it was going to be your Harley that was going to cause you grief. See if you can get some sort of upgrade while you’re in there!

Good morning all,

My good wife Erica has been in correspondence with June and it seems things are not so well with John yet. He has had a 'rough 3 weeks' since his incident and has been transferred to Calgary ICU last Sunday. They are trying to get him moved back to the lower mainland so the family can see him. I don't know anything more specific than that. June mentioned that I could share this with the club as we are another family of his and he would want us to know. I'll post updates if I hear anything more.

Please keep John and June in your thoughts & prayers, and let's all send well wishes for a positive outcome moving forward. Rob
