Hi Roddy,
Just wanted to let you know that after six weeks -three in traction and
three in a body cast- Robbie had the cast removed today. He feels a whole
lot lighter!! Unfortunately at about the four week stage he developed a
blood clot and is now on anticoagulants for the next three months. But
his spirits are up as usual and he is looking forward to getting his
feet back underneath him. We would like to thank you and Laura and the
kids for all your support when we were in the IWK. We would also like to
thank everyone that took the time to visit, phone and send cards. It
helped get us through a very trying time. Robbie is hoping to put in an
appearance at the Pleasant Valley race - on his feet not a bike!!
Thanks again for everything.

P.S. Robbie itching to take you on with the PlayStation - says he played
it so much that he can do it with his eyes closed! He'll even give you a
headstart!!!
