Saul, hay it has been two days and all Tyson talks about is seeing you and when he gets to go back to see you. It may be a long road ahead, but you have already conquered a big chunk of it. Just like the pros at the TdG, we are trying to get everyone who rides a bike whether they race or not to put green electrical tape on their handlebars (this could be pretty cool if it turns global). PS. Tyson is going to hold you to that lion. |

Saul,
Thanks for the pics of your progress. I\'m praying for you daily that you will totally recover and return to the peloton. I know that you will beat this and be back racing as soon as you can. Your determination is great and I wish you the best of luck in your recovery. I check your web site several times a week to see how things are going. I wish you and your family the best.  |

I am so happy to see and hear that you are progressing so fast. I guess that is how you became a big P-R-O.
Your dad delivered the bands to shop and everyone was sporting them by the end of the day.
Dude, you so freakin' rock. Keep it up! |

Saul,
Its been a long time since I've seen you, I think the last time was when you visited Lindsey Wilson College.
I've followed your race results for several years and have been so impressed with your development.
I've been praying for you and have been amazed at your attitude! Totally amazing. I look forward to seeing your name in sorts of news articles before long.
Sincerely,
Ford
PS If there is anything I could do to help out, please let me know. I can be reached at [email protected] or 859 227 5101.

Amazing pictures of the hospital time. It reminds me a lot of my injury and how I looked in the photos at the time. I did one picture with a camera I called, "Head Injury with Still Life," where I held the camera and clicked off a photo of myself sitting at the kitchen table. The look in my eyes in the photo still says alot about what happened in the injury. I was expecting to see a cat-scan-photo of you going into the tube for the measure-by-measure that I'm sure you're having from time to time. Hope your short term memory is coming well, it was always weird for me to sit in the doctor's office and have my wife and the doctor talk about me and how I was like I was a 4-year old sitting on the table next to them in the same room. You've come far, I'm so happy for you. |

I'm just a cycling fan but I wanted to do like everybody else and wish you well for a quick and total recovery. It's going to be a long fight but when you're done those long stage races are going to feel like nothing.
Best wishes,

Saul,
Keep up the good attitude. I'm recovering from a brain injury I incured in a cycling accident last Labor Day. Being motivated helps, just be patient. Rely on those of us who have experienced the same thing. No one else will understand what you're feeling. But with time and effort you will recover. I'm even back on my bike climbing in the Rockies. You will someday be doing the same. Best of luck! |

Hi Saul,
We're so glad you're doing better. My husband and I were priviledged to share your birthday ride in GA this year. Meeting you and your parents was such a pleasure. Keep up the great attitude and get well soon. We want to share cake with you again next year!

Saul, Keep on keeping on. I have a spinal chord injury but walk and do most of the things I want to. A lot of it is mental. It\'s depressing coming back when you see people doing what you once could but now can\'t (but will be able to). Nobody knows what you\'ll get back so don\'t focus on that. Just work every day to get back what you can. I posted before the reminder that Lance was supposed to be dead by now but.....You just don\'t know what\'s in store for you, but trust that it will be good. As a mother, I know that your walking to your mom and giving her a hug was the absolute best gift in the world. Just focus every day on what you need to do that day. You are young, and the future will come! |

Saul,
Hope you are having a great day, its amazing the amount of support you have out there, hope you feel the love out there. I know first hand what you are going through and know how tough it is for everyone, but you got this one, you just have to ride it out. Just think of it as those long miles when no one is watching, and remember the payoff isn't today but somewhere down the road. Keep on going its worth the journey. |

Hey Saul,
Been following your story through your site and other cycling sites. Get well soon man. I love cycling because you can choose how much suffering you're willing to tolerate before you quit...and you can keep pushing yourself, plus it's just fun. Pain, pleasure, fun, suffering. Just like life. You're a great rider...which must make you a good...liver...er, you know what I mean. Keep fighting man and know that lots of people are inspired by you, are thinking about you, and praying for you. Take care.
