Having known Terry for over 30 years devastating news for me and us. All love and wishes to him on a long recovery now I think I was surprised by the (no-one's fault) in the message. On the hard shoulder on a motorway. The driver should be prosecuted for driving without due care and attention with an insurance claim later to aid his claim in future for help care perhaps.
Terry keep a diary for that now to use it later perhaps then Fond thoughts Richard and Hils

Yes Richard, I had forgotten about his med-evac from Singapore after he parked his motor bike in a storm drain. He has previous as the boys in blue like to say. Should be old hat to him by now.
Keep knitting Terry.

They put him back together after a very nasty accident once before, so here's hoping they do an equally good job this time. Anyone in contact with him, please pass on my best wishes.

I'll second that, getting out of bed briefly is a start in the (long) road to recovery.

Terry's family has now started to make public about His accident o from them.
FOR ANYONE WHO KNOWS TERRY SILVER - it is now in the public arena that Terry had a terrible accident (no-one's fault) when his car broke down, and a lorry hit or clipped his car while Terry was in front of his car on the hard shoulder. I'm posting this as originally the family asked for nothing to be posted on social media, so many of Terry's friends and acquaintences won't know. However, his sister-in-law has just posted this update on Terry's facebook page which will update everyone: "There are so many of you wishing Terry well. I've decided the easiest way to keep you all informed is to post updates on Terry's timeline. At present he is on Trauma Ward B5 in the John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford. Physically he is improving and managed to sit out of bed for a short while today and also walk with a walker in the ward. Amazing considering his injuries. There are plans, when he is well enough, to transfer him to The Hillingdon Hospital in Uxbridge but not yet. We will see him this weekend and report next week."

While it is understood many of us are concerned about Terry, the family has clearly specified no social media. Phone and email, OK. Please consider not continuing this thread until family sends their OK. It really is serious and this request really is for good cause.

Thank you.

I think that's a good reason to delete this thread. I'll undelete it if Terry says it's OK.

The family gave permission, so I undeleted the previous messages.

He told me he survived pretty bad injuries after a motorbike accident in Hong Kong, or was it Singapore. While serving in the military.

Let us hope he is more lead (pliable) than silver (precious).

Oh FFS, me poor old mate Terry. I hope someone can update me soon on how he is. Hope it's not too serious, as he lives on his own, and needs to be able to fend for himself. Wishing him all the best, and please keep us posted on his progress.

Terry's car broke down and while he was on the hard shoulder a passing lorry hit it and propelled it into him. I understand he may have life changing injuries. People had been asked not to post this on public forums in case someone found out his house was empty.
