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.

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...

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......

Love that we have a resident nurse. Too bad you can't fly over there and make sure he behaves!!

I'm totally up for it! How much harder could it be.......I take care of 800 teenagers.......

And if you girls need even more help holding him down, sit on him, lay on him or just hold him!! I'm ready and willing to do whatever it takes to help him recover!
