My son just talked to Ken this afternoon and although he had difficulty speaking, he sounded in pretty good spirits considering. We are going to see him if possible this evening. We will see about how he feels about any donations or help. I will post his acct. # if he thinks it is OK. Lord surely knows he could use the help..will see what he thinks about accepting it.

Ken, Sorry to hear this news send our hopes and wishes for a quick recovery hang in there.. Bob A

We were with Ken today till 8 tonight....when he was awake his mind was pretty sharp and focused. The jaw/mouth/tongue surgery seemed to be successful although he sure will not be eating any solid food for a while. The Orthopedic Specialists will look at his Scans/X Rays tomorrow. I will post his Grandma's Bank Acct. # tomorrow night when we get back from Hospital.....he has been laid off too long and does not have a dime of insurance. Thanks

Isn't there some sort of insurance coverage at NHRA sanctioned tracks?

I made it home yesterday after my surgery on Friday. I'm still in a lot of pain but I'm hoping on a speedy recovery and hopefully I can get the cast off my arm so I can type better. I will post more details after I get a little more better and thank all of you for your prayers and wishes.
