Category: Let's talk
this is just a note to let you all know that dave was struck by a train this afternoon in Ruston. For those who might not know, he is a current student at the Louisiana center for the blind. At last report, he was talking and conscious when being taken to the hospital. Keep him in your thoughts and prairs.
Wow. How terrible! Hope he's ok. I will definitely pray for his recovery.
aww, thats really sad. what a horrible thing to happen. i'll definitely keep him in my prayers and thoughts
Jesus Christ, I still see him logged into Skype. Wow... Do they think he'll make a full recovery?
he'll be in my prayers...wow. another dave. just makes me think about the other dave (whosurdaddy) from here. I hope this Dave will make a full recovery.
oh wow... I hope he's ok!
Omg that really is sad! Well I'll definitely think of him, and I'm really sorry to hear that!
I will certainly be praying for him. I wonder how that happened? Poor guy! Teardrop, if you get any more updates on him, keep us posted.
I'll keep all posted on his condition. On another note, what happened to dave whosyourdaddy?
more bad news!. that makes the 3rd dave... lightning glider, dead head 86 and who's ur daddy.
i think he died of a heart atack... but can't be sure!
let's hope this dave is okay
Yeah, it was his heart, and he was only 31. That is weird about so many Daves on here.
as far as I know, dave has no life threatening injuries. i'll say he was extremely lucky.
that's a relief!
it sure is!
Absolutely. He could have lost limbs ... all kinds of terrible things could have gone wrong. sure hope he pulls through.
Glad to hear he's doing well, and was not harmed too badly.
it appears that dave has been taken to a shrieve port hospital, and is in serious condition.
omg! That's not cool! I hope he's alright!
oh that's not good at all, jus when we thaught he'd escaped the worst
It appears as if dave became disoriented and began walking alongside the tracks instead of over them. He is stil in a shreveport hospital, and has a broken leg, and other unknown injuries.
When he recovers, I sure hope he gets some intensive mobility training. It's a real tragedy that this happened, and I hope it doesn't scare him off ever traveling independently again.
Ouch, I'm sorry to hear his injuries were more serious than previously thought. He is still in my prayers. Thanks for your updates, Teardrop!
aww I feel so bad. Thats horrible. Ok I have one question though, all of the zoners that have died, r named dave. I always wonder why?
JEssica, total coincidence. They could've had other names. They are just unrelated, though extremely tragic incidences. I am sorry to hear about Dave here though, I know what it is to vere as many of us do. I too, like Becky, hope he pulls through and is able to get back out there with a little more mobility training so that this doesn't happen again.
yes and I also hope it doesn't scare him from traveling alone.
It looks like Dave will pull through!!! As far as his training, I know that he started at the center on October first, so he was fairly new to the training itself, and I don't think it will hinder his mobility, though he may be out of comition for a good while. He is still in serious, but stable condition, with a few broken bones, and some sore internal organs. Thanks to all who have, and will continue to post. I'll let Dave know of all your best wishes and good thoughts.
Glad to hear that he's ok!
We could always use good news!
Never knew the guy but I sincerely wish him the best.
Glad to hear he's going to be all right. I imagine he's got to be in a lot of pain, though. I'm continuing to pray for his recovery.
hope he gets better
i hope he's alright also.
Yeah, I hope he gets better too.
Awww, that's sad, but definitely good he's getting better. It's months later but I'll still pray for him.
Leia, what do you mean by, "it's months later?" This was first posted less than a week ago, according to the date on the original post.
Awww, I really hope he's okay and makes a full recovery!
Yes, it was only less then a week ago.
Oh I thought someone said something about it being in October. sorry, lol.
Well not lol... lol at my stupidity. I really should check dates, shouldn't I? Anyhow, I hope he gets better. Didn't know him all that well, but things like this are always sad and I don't like anyone hurting, it's sad.
I hope he pulls through and I'll keep him in my prayers.
Anymore updates on him, Teardrop?
yes, anymore updates? Poor guy... It's quite sad... the night before the accident, I was talking to dave about a psychology project I was working on.
glad he's pulling through.
He'll be in my prayers as well. I didn't really know him but think I saw him around once or twice. Please keep us updated.
I said hi to him once. I think he didn't notice, because I say hi to people randomly. I remember checking to see if he was John, lol. Karrie, it's sort of creepy talking all normal with someone and taking their presence for granted, and you find out next day they nearly died.
Awww dang, any updates about him?
I've seen him on Skype several times within the past week or so, so looks like he's recovered, a bit at least.
Glad to hear that. It's easier to recover in your own home sometimes. Hospitals are great places to be when you have to, but home is far more comfortable.
Oh wow! Well I'm glad to hear he's doing all right! That is really hard, and I hope he's able to travel again! Although I think it's going to be hard, because i've been hit before, so I know what that's like! Although I was not enjered, I was traumatized, and so i can only imagine a train! Wow! But yeah, that's why you should never take things for granted, you never know when it'll be the last time you talk to a person. Anyway, sincerely hope things are well with him!

So do I. Glad he's okay and hope he makes a quick recovery.
