Ryan Barnett's surgery at the Shepherd Center in Atlanta apparently went better than the doctors had anticipated. No damage to his spinal cord was detected and doctors inserted a titanium plate in his back, running from T1 to T6. They hope to have him starting his rehab sessions as early as tomorrow!

Why nobody tried to know the real story? I was witness of the accident and it was not the truck fault! Ryan did not obey the transit sign and he was not wearing helmet. I hope he get better and I really wish that he can go back speeding again, but it is not fair to accuse the truck driver without knowing the real fact.
Go Ryan!

It is great to read that things are going well for Ryan and that his injuries are not as bad as first indicated. I am sure he will have a speedy and successful recovery. Does ayone know if the person who hit Ryan was charged or otherwise punished?
