member in hospital

Well I got a text message this morning.
For those of you who know and have had the pleasureof riding with Kobe Diesel, he is in a hospital in NY.
He had heart surgery for a bad valve and staph infection.

I am working on getting an address to send him a care package and some racing mags to help with the recovery.

I will also print out all get well wishes and members would like to post here and forward to him as well.

So far the word is good and it seems he is recovering.

I hope and pray for him to have a speedy recovery.

PS To Kobe you will do anything to get out of paying on the moto gp bet, you still owe me lunch even if I have to got to the hospital and eat the crud they serve there.

 

Kobe - Here's to a speedy recovery! I'll come up to NY and ride with you once you're feeling up to it! :vtr2:

 

Hope all turns out well. Hospitals are not a fun place to be in. Unless you work there....

Tell Kobe to quit malingering and get back to Work!!!!!!!!! hope he feels better.... and that all goes well with the surgery

 

What's the address so we can send Kobe inappropritae items?

Sponge bath for Kobe by hot nurses!!!

 

best wishes & get well soon! were you wearing ATGATT?
Hope you are ready to ride for the next season!

 

have not recieved any other information yet but will pass it along as soon as I find out.

 

Get well soon Kobe, and remember, wounds heal and chicks dig scars.:cheersaf:

 

Get WELL Soon

 

I was sorry to hear this, and my thoughts and prayers are with him and his family. Kobe's a great guy and a hell of a good guy to ride with. Gotta get better - Kobe, I know you can hear Rt 116 calling!!

i like the hot nurse sponge bath idea. Maybe I should swing by and have them take my temp or something to get in on that!

 

We wish you a speedy recovery, Kobe

 

I dito all the above...

 

I went in for some tests for my heart and the doc stuck his finger up my.....Didn't know the heart was there. Get well soon. Take pix of those sponge bathing nurses.

 

Kobe, Get well soon............................So you can ride to our famous gathering SLO 2010

 

Best wishes to you Kobe!

This is the perfect time to have a valve job done to get back to VFR.. errr.. uhmmm... HUMAN spec

Wishing you a speedy recovery and hoping that on that first 70 degree New York day you will be hopping on the bike for some much needed revitalization!

Well they also say that home is where the heart is too, sooooo..... I hope that The Kobe does get better and I also hope that this was a planned surgery other than a surgery that had to be done right away...but in either case I hope the Diesel runs again. Get better!!!

 

Probably using the wrong oil.................Should have been using...........Valvoline!!!!!!

Get well soon Kobe!

 

Kobe, dont listen to Maggot! Sip down some Slick 50 and if you can swing it 50cc per liter IV drip will get those valves unstuck for you! Recover quick and hope to hear from you soon!.

 

Good news
Kobe Diesel is on his way home today.
If he got the V-Tec upgrade on that valve we can tweek him w/ a PC 3

Thanks for all the replies, i will make sure he gets them all.
