Saul,
It's great to see you doing so well in rehab, your determination and good humour is amazing! Good luck with your ongoing recovery.
I recently read a book called 'The Totem Pole: And A Whole New Adventure' by British rock-climber and mountaineer Paul Pritchard. He suffered a brain injury whilst climbing in Tasmania and the book describes his journey through rehab and beyond. It is a truly moving and inspiring read and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about how amazing the human mind and spirit is. Perhaps surprisingly it also contains a great deal of humour!
Best wishes from the UK,
Neil |

You are in our hearts Saul....know that and remeber to breathe. I am so happy to hear that you awoke, and is it not the greatest thing in the world to hear your family is there to bring you home?!
Rest yourself, eat lots of good food (do you like peach cobbler? I guess that just sounds Georgian!!) and gain basic strength.....then maybe you can push yourself a little in rehabbing.
I will keep looking here for news but i wish you all the best and hopefulness! You have it in you Saul, we all do. |

Sounds like your recovery is going well. After my accident I was so glad I had my helmet on. I feel sick whenever I see a cyclist without a helmet. You said \"every day holds a surprise\", I know that feeling well. Can\'\'t wait to hear about your return to racing.

Hi there Saul,
Greetings to you from England.
It is with much joy and happiness I write, because to see you up and about and making good, is just fabulous. And as well, it is so kind of you to share your recovery with us.
I do know something of what you have experienced-I have a sister who has had very similar to you and she has since made a complete recovery. But where you are already walking, writing etc. it took her many many months longer to achieve what you have already accomplished-thats so fantastic and your biggest win to date.
Can I just say as well, I am so pleased to see that you have still got your lovely looks-there isnt a more handsome guy in that pro-peloton-hurry back soon.
Lots of love and regards,
Charmaine xxxx |

Saul!
Rehab is what it is....not much fun, eh? Hang in there and keep your chin up! You look great and you're moving right along. You'll be back out there on the road in no time and this whole thing will seem like just a fleeting moment in time. I'm praying for you always Saul. Continue to work hard in rehab this week and remember....if it were easy, everyone would be doing it :-) You've got lots of people cheering you on!
Keep Raisin' Hell!
