Hello everyone! I just want to start off by thanking all of you for the kind words and well wishes, it truly means a lot to me, as this has been the toughest situation I have had to deal with in my life. Currently I am doing really well compaired to the day I had my accident. I am currently at sunnybrook hospital recovering from my 13 hour facial surgery. Basically what happened is I was struck by another motorcycle doing a high speed wheelie, his bike hit me right in my left eye. Shattering my eye socket and pushing my upper jaw bone back into my face. Also broke my radiator spraying hot water onto my left arm burning it pretty good. I'm happy to say that the great team of plastic surgeons here at sunnybrook have told my my surgery went very well, and my recovery seems to be going really well. Even though they have told me it was one of the worst facial fractures they have ever dealt with. So anyways they cut the top of my head open, removed all the broken pieces of bone and loose brain matter. Then replaced my left eye socket and upper jaw with titanium replacements. They also harvested some muscle from my left leg to use to fix my face. Then pulled my face back over and used 50+ staples to close my head again.

I'm still in quite a bit of pain and discomfrort as the swelling goes down, but I am so happy to be alive and in good hands here in Canada! To be honest for the first few days I thought I was going to be blind in my left eyes and facially disfigured.

Now I'd like to straighten up some of the bad info I have been reading and hearing about over the internet. For one Jamaica hospital did pretty much nothing to help me besides stitch my eye with about 20 stitches and cause me and my family a lot of strees! I was charged $1000 for those stitches before they would release my stuff to my friends! And the only thing that saved me is my family and good friends who I truly love and owe a lot!

You might hear, read, or see some video of Jamaica taking credit for saving my life and I'll tell you right now thats complete crap! My friends and family putting up $27,000 for an emergency flight back to Toronto for the surgery is what saved if not my live, but at least my vision and stunning good looks.

So anyways I just want to thank all of you again! And especially my good friend Shane, my sister ksenija and her husband David, my mother and father, my 2 other sisters, all of my friends and anyone else I'm missing. It's good to be alive and I love you all! THANK YOU ALL!
 
Good to know you are doing better. Thanks for clarifying about the care Jamaica offered you, i guess it is a wake up call and a warning for some of us that travel and do some crazy **** out on vacations.

Get well soon dude and if I ever see you anywhere I will buy you a beer.. or some Advil :)

I cant believe how quickly your recovering from the first day I seen you...what the f^%k are you made of...doesnt make sense...the airline tried charging $255 to bring your luggage back but I worked out a side cash deal......gahed...dont tell no one...he might lose his job.....and use your shaver box...you look like a lumber jack....
 
It's good to hear you are doing better. It's always nice to have friends and family that cares so much.

Thanks for the update.
 
Great to hear you're doing much better Johnny. It's times like this when friends and family matter the most, and sounds like you're in pretty good hands. Take care bro
 
Thanks for keeping us up to date Johnny.We have all been thinking of you.Please let us know when you are up to having visits. Ric
 
GWS bud! One of the things I love about living here is a top-notch medical service, no matter how much ragging it gets in certain circles. I'm assuming they got you on some opiates, so remember.. Lots of fiber and a couple of tablespoons of mineral oil FTW! :cool:
 
Glad to hear you are doing well. Did they cut your scalp and peel it back for facial access like they did with Seth Enslow?

Did you have any sort of travel insurance?
 
As ****ed up as it sounds I'm glad that you can walk away from all of this in one piece.
Thank God that you were able to get the help you needed to get through it all, thoughts and prayers are always with you man, get well soon.
