I didn't realize Sam had posted my pic already! Damn, gonna spike his sweet tea with prune juice

Well, you did give him a start by your appearance; he thought at first he was having a bit of a relapse, what with a large fairy bobbing about the room.

calj737 · « **Reply #127 on:** July 08, 2014, 08:33:33 PM »

Ah, I see. I should have weaved when I bobbed, is that it?

Y'all too funny! I'll get us a pic when they get here!

Bill

scottly · « **Reply #129 on:** July 08, 2014, 08:37:00 PM »

Naw, just post a pic with the both of you, just to prove you don't further traumatize our buddy by wearing a pink tutu.

calj737 · « **Reply #130 on:** July 08, 2014, 08:42:22 PM »

Bill wears blue, not pink.

For you, Scottly

scottly · « **Reply #131 on:** July 08, 2014, 08:50:49 PM »

If you insist on wearing skirts, at least make it a proper kilt, for Sam's sake.

calj737 · « **Reply #132 on:** July 09, 2014, 03:31:13 AM »

Us fairies don't wear skirts, or kilts. Just wings so we can flit about- besides, kilts are Celtic, Sam's British. Tried putting one on him when I first got him out of the hospital gown and he was having none of it.

Well......the day has come, discharge day!!! My Dad will eventually be leaving the hospital today and traveling to Atlanta to join Bill for a couple of weeks, depending on what time he leaves the hospital depends on when he arrives in Atlanta, it may be today or even Friday. He will be with Bill for a while just to help recuperate before he travels back to the UK. Please give him some time to settle in before bombarding him with message, it would be nice for him to settle in at Bills and read all that has been typed on here and the SOHC4 forum. He still has a way to go in his recovery but this is a massive step considering where he was only 2 weeks ago.

Thank you to everyone that has helped and been there to support him either by visiting, calling, well wishing and donating. I am sure he will be overwhelmed when he sees all the messages of support.

Jonathan.

Let's change this thread title! "Free at last, free at last, thank God I'm free at last!" has a nice ring to it-

I'll be picking up Sam near 11AM today. Then, if the hospital has their game on, we will get underway to Atlanta (560 mi). Normally, I'd make the drive in about 8 hours, but will need to go easy and be prepared to stop and stretch as Sam wants.

Also, will need to make sure Sam doesn't have any motion sickness since he's been so sedentary for 3 weeks. The other evening while visiting, was walking him about the ward floor, and had him shut his eyes to test his balance. All good. Then take a few steps with eyes closed, same. So I'm not expecting any problems, but will just go along and let him enjoy the view.

Depending upon his comfort, we make cut the drive to 2 pieces, else we will be landing late this evening. I'm sure Sam will be wicked excited to see Bill again and be out of hospital. We will see how the trip goes, and special anecdotes that surface, I'll post here. And perhaps a progress report if given the safe opportunity.

Otherwise, from tomorrow, Sam will be responsible for posting for himself

Been a real pleasure and privilege, Gents. He's a special guy, and very lucky to have so many dear friends as the whole of you.

(A little southern vernacular for you: the plural of "you" when spoken here abouts is "y'all". The "whole of you" is spoken as "all y'all". I'm trying to teach Sam these finer points, so keep an eye out ;-)

We are underway! Sam is catching a few ZZZs

Good man Cal ! Well done.

I just hope Sam does not wake up and think he's back in the UK. He might make a grab for the steering wheel !

Well done lads

Good news.
Safe trip.

Cheers,

I spoke to Cal very briefly today and to Sam as well. Sam needs some rest as shown in the the last posted pic. He sounded much better but needs to continue to heal. After spending about 3 months with the man I have a feeling as to what he should sound like.
He did say he has a lot of internet to catch up with. I said besides your porn sites what else could it be??

scottly · « **Reply #143 on:** July 10, 2014, 07:36:45 PM »

Hey Mike, do you know if they are still on the road, or have they reached Bill's place??

I am sure they are at Bill's...I spoke to him over 6 hours ago.

That was mighty gentlemanly of you, Cal.

Well, I'll rest easier when we've gotten an update; it's a long drive, and Cal mentioned breaking the trip up into two parts.....

Bill/BentON Racing · « **Reply #147 on:** July 11, 2014, 12:16:31 AM »

Update! Sam 's here and resting now, since @ 11:00pm. Cal you re the man! Sam's better but weak and needs some rest. Lots of prayers answered! K. He'll update tomorrow! Bill

calj737 · « **Reply #148 on:** July 11, 2014, 12:46:05 AM »

Sam was delivered around 10:30PM local time to a very excited $2 Bill Benton. After getting Sam sorted and unpacked, he went off to bed as it was a long day for him. He slept much of the ride, but I'm certain he was exhausted by it. Tried to break it up into small pieces for him, but he wouldn't give in.

I got about a 3 hour tour of the coveted a Bill Benton hideaway of coveted SOHC parts. Holy crap, has he got some precious parts squirreled away! I think Bill secretly has collected every desirable and hard to find part for these bikes. The "In need of crowd" only need PM and PayPal that guy and save the time... I am certain he'll have it.

Very enjoyable visit, but had to cut it short and turn around to get home. I'd wager that tomorrow is the first really good day Sam will have had since 19 June. Familiar surroundings, great friend, and non-hospital food should get him right in no time.

All up to you now, Bill.

Gotta push on, miles to go-

trueblue · « **Reply #149 on:** July 11, 2014, 02:45:49 AM »

Good to hear

. Glad the old fella is on the up and up.
Cal, you are a top bloke doing all you have for someone you didn't even know a few weeks ago.
