Thanks - it was rather traumatic. I was on such a high having met him before the show and giving the man a hug. There was many "ridiculous" statements circulating through the crowd as we were leaving that he was dead .. how would anyone know. I was just sick on the stomach - but surely not as much as his family and loved ones would have been. Glad he is ok .... .. phew ...

((((Jenny))))

Met him and gave him a hug, wow, did you post details? ((((Jenny)))) a day of highs and lows...

My thoughts too Jeannie. How awesome for her was it to meet him, AND get to hug him?!?!!!? I am jealous!! But then to witness the fall, wow, definately highs and lows.

Didn't mean to post that last twice. Stupid computer!!

Anyway!! I was at a concert wwaaayyyy back in either the late 70's or early 80's, in Lakeland, Fl, and Jimmy was poking fun at Joan Jett for falling off the stage in Lakeland. I think she ended up with a broken arm from that.

Glad Jimmy is out and hopefully he will do as the doctors tell him and take it easy for a while.

Jenny, thanks so much for the updates today. I have been so worried. Sorry you had to see the fall. I'm keeping everyone in my thoughts and prayers. Get well soon, Jimmy!!

(I'm very happy you got to meet Jimmy!!)

How do they expect me to work when I have a special "Mississippian on my mind"?

exactly

I wonder if they will have any updates on RM tonight before they play the show.

Keeping JB on my mind

Being knocked out means a moderate to severe concussion....just depends on the symptoms after the crash. A clear CT scan doesn't mean he didn't have a concussion just that he didn't bleed in the brain. (Thank God) There is lower air pressure in flight which can cause blood vessels to dilate and increase the chance of a headache. He's going to need to be careful that when/if he does have symptoms (headache, nausea, dizziness, fogginess, memory loss), to do very little and rest. This includes even watching TV, surfing the net, or reading. There is new protocol for kids with concussions due to sports and they are finding it applies to adults too. I've seen kids with post-concussion syndrome for 6 months after the fact because they didn't follow instructions. I feel for the NZ pholks but I really hope he does that concert only if he is feeling fabulous.....which I know is slight given the circumstances. Just the noise factor is huge. I would make him pinkie swear to return though......

I was nearly frantic without BN today. I kept trying to check news elsewhere, but there was not much said.

Is it too late for you to call in sick. From what I can see last night, you didn't get much done anyway :

I got quite a bit done last night. Multitasking! Well, that and it was a light night.

Jenny: So glad you got to meet the man and give him a hug. So sad about the fall. Thanks for the updates. You rock.

Jimmy: Mind the doctors. They know best. ((((Jimmy))))

Been sick about this all day. So glad BN is back up and we could get a reliable update.

((((((((Jenny)))))))) Glad you got to meet JB. So sorry you had to see this. Thanks for keeping us all posted.

Yes, please post details on meeting him.

Days like this remind me how important it is to get back to what is meaningful...Like this community. I used to be a regular here about 9 years ago, but space and time took me away...and now today all I want to do is get back to what this community, and Jimmy himself have meant to me for all these years. My thoughts and prayers are with all the other Parrotheads out there, as well as (OBVIOUSLY) for Jimmy...He's the one that managed to bring so many of us together, and I for one can say that he gives me a little bit of peace in a rather insane world. To think that before I heard the news today the most important thing to me was checking to see if Mansfield, MA dates had been posted yet. I hope Jimmy recovers well from this accident, even if that means taking time off...I don't know about the rest of you but I know that I have already been to so many shows that even though I would be totally bummin' without a summer tour, I would rather know that he is getting better...
