thats weird because someone posted something in the for sale section on this site...hes selling a seat cover. Are you sure its the same guy?

Anthony underwent surgery last night, at UPMC, in Pittsburgh. They fused a certian number of the broken vertibrae together, among the usual rods and screws to hold his spinal cord in place The good news if there is any, is that the casing surrounding his spinal cord wasnt ruptured or damaged, which leaves a good chance that he may walk again. There is no doubt he has a long road to recovery and will most likely have to learn how to talk all over again.

Please keep him in your prayers.

omg..i didnt kno it was him who had to get lifeflighted yesterday...i thought he was selling his ltr? that was a crazy wreck...hope he comes out ok!!

 

[eatroost450]

I hate hearing about bad wrecks.. Thank god that he is still alive.. I hope he makes a full recovery.. My prayers go out to him and his family

Well I thought I would clarify that the kid who crashed was not ZukRacer17, but he was a fellow racer, and a one of the Cernics Team members / employees.

I dont know if Anthony is actually a member of the site, but I know he checked in often.

 

[hinkle]

i don't know him but i hope he's ok with the rest of you guys

 

[jfarrar30]

yeah that was a little of a mixup.sorry zukracer17 but when i asked anthony fi he was zukracer17 on the site he told me yes.maybe he misunderstood me.i thought he was since his quad was 17 and looks just like zukracers.glad to hear he is oki.that makes 2 people that i know that broke their back this year.the other guy i know just got out of the hospital after 50 days

Broke your neck ?? OWWWWWWW --

[madmatt]

yep~! I didn't know it was broken for a couple of weeks. The docs told me the pain was from my collar bone which was also broken. When the pain didn't stop I went back. Shattered left tibula plateau right now. Consider me retired,,,,,again !

Thats is good news. Hopefully he has what they call "Spinal Syndrome" Basically its swelling of the spinal cord from trauma. It pushes on all the surrounding tissue/vertebrae/etc and has the same signs/symptoms of a spinal cord injury. lets hope thats what it is and steroids will shrink the tissues and he will have his feeling/movement back soon...but never the less thats a bad break!!
Hang in there Anthony!
Thoughts and prayers are out to you in Kansas City Missouri!!
