Not a lot of news that week about John Force.

That concerns me a lot.

John I was thinking the same thing this morning and even my wife who rarely will say anything about racing other than mine said don't you think it's odd there hasn't been any updates. I sincerely hope he's ok but the longer this goes without some news or a picture of him it doesn't look good.

The recovery period for a traumatic brain injury is a long slow process. Not much is known on a week by week basis. Most likely John is done driving for at least the remainder of this season. I am sure there will be periodic updates as his recovery continues. All we know now is he survived the accident and is recovering in the hospital. I am sure the family is concerned as well as everyone else that is a fan of drag racing.

My wife Teresa had a bathroom fall with a concussion last year in May. She is 72 years old and her doctor has told her it may take years to fully recover as she is talking slowly and has to use a cane or walker to get around.
Some days she seems to be making good progress and others she struggles with things like walking in open spaces as she has a fear of falling.
I work for NHRA and have reduced my schedule to help with her struggle.
John Force is 75 and took a much greater hit than Teresa and as much as I want to wish him a speedy recovery, I can identify with the struggles he will face.
I keep them both in my prayers.
