Just discovered that my "Cuzzin" Will Self was hit by a truck while walking to
work last week. He's in intensive care, seems likely to survive, but according
to his wife, Margaret, it is way too early to tell what damage was done and
what the rehab will be like, or how long it will take. Right on the eve of his
retirement--this was to be his last semester teaching math at the University in
Billings.
Don't know if Will's truly my cousin or not, though it's possible. I've got
some family where he was born, in Oklahoma. But we met here, on
rec.woodworking, and got along extremely well, largely because he's a great
guy.
Just asking for thoughts and prayers sent in Will's direction.

Will do . Seems like your family has been having a rough time over the
last year or so hasn't it?

At times. Will and I aren't sure we're really family, though given locations
and last names it seems strongly possible. Wouldn't have wished this kind of
family luck on him.

Quick note from Will's wife, Margaret: "Will is improving rapidly.
His condition has been upgraded from critical to serious. He is still
on the ventilator, but will be weaned off of that next week. He is
basically breathing entirely on his own. He is conscious for longer
periods of time, seems alert & can recognize people & respond. Since
he can't talk because of the ventilator, communication is difficult,
but he will close his eyes to mean "yes." Yesterday we got him to
interlace his fingers and to raise one eyebrow. He seems to have a
fair understanding of what happened to him."
Generally good news. Keep hoping and praying.

Maybe someone stateside could make him a wooden tag with the trucks
registration on it, that way when he asks "did anyone get the number of that
truck..." you can give it to him as a lasting memento.
Please pass my best wishes to him.

Good grief! What kind of truck?
