Title: Get well soon Frank Da Hoff
Post by: Martin Greaves on November 09, 2008, 18:48:00 pm
Frank Da Hoff (WhiteTrash) on here.

I know some of you guys know him so you may want to know this. He was at work on Friday and though it would be good to remove his right hand from his arm.

He is now in surgery hope he will be OK.

Oh no! Please give him my regards, and keep us updated on his recovery. GET WELL SOON!

Martin

Thanks for leting me know this morning it was really appreaciated, like the others I am also totally shocked.

Yes, Frank in his own time drove all the way to SCC with underdog, collected many cars from the strip over the weekend and then drove home with the Dog and Der Express again in his own time, he spent all weekend trying to get the Der Express running and eventually took her up the strip himself on the Sunday. What a top bloke.

Frank, we all wish you a speed recovery and home that the Doctors can work some magic... We all want Da Hoff behind a wheel and racing again, Good luck mate.

Martin in the short term if i can help in anyway let me know. Please keep me posted daily. thanks

That's pretty shit news Frank! Pleased to hear you're in good spirit though and it sounds like you've got some good surgeons on the case. That said they probably only have imperial tools and whatever happens don't let them any where near you on a Friday.

Cool, I spoke to him earlier in the afternoon and he was just about to goin in for the last op, I guess it happened then, finally.  8)

Hi everybody,

First thanks for all the well wishing

just got told that i can leave today,although yesterday i thought i'll be here for a couple more days and a friend brought me a laptop to get online.
I was lucky in that it happend in Oxford as the hospital is one of the leading plastical surgery places in the UK.
If it happend in Portsmouth i would have proberbly woken up with a hook on my arm and a parrot on my shoulder. ;D
I had 3 op's which went well and they made a good job. Have got feeling in 4 fingers and should be able to move them and my wrist ok with some therapy. It'll take a few months but I'll be fit again for spring and next summer.
Good job to get out as well as it's so boring in hospitals apart from flirting with the nurses and i can make to Berlin next week for a few days for my mum's birthday. I've not told her about the missing middle finger yet, so that'll be a suprise  ;D

Always look at the bright side of life

Cheers Frank
