    Steve Wargo was in a major motorcycle accident Friday April 21, the Friday before NAB.
    Currently Steve is out of Intesive Care and on the mend at Scottsdale Osborne Hospital in Scottsdale Arizona.
    His right pelvis is fractured along with ribs 6-12, his left shoulder is broken and he has 3 fractures in his spine along with some road rash. He is moving his legs and feet so they feel that he will not be paralyzed. He is going to have a recovery period of approximately 2 months and they are expecting a full recovery.

    Thanks Ray
    Will Steve be able to check email and/or what’s the mailing address of the hospital? Do you think a box of See’s Candy would cheer him up?

    I just got this update regarding Steve and it includes email and telephone addresses.

    Steve is in the Acute Rehab floor at the Scottsdale-Osborn Hospital, located at 7400 E Osborn, Scottsdale, AZ 85251. We are not sure how long he will be there. He is in room 444 and is allowed visitors from 10a-7p. He is truly enjoying the visits and it is helping to keep his spirits up, so please visit if you want. You can call him direct at 480-882-6444 or you can email him at stevewargo@fastermail.com

    Here is a list of his injuries:

    1. Broken Left Jaw, teeth are gone
    2. Broken Left Shoulder (scapula)
    3. Fractured Spine at: C6, C7, T1, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, T8, T9, T10, T11, T12
    4. Broken Ribs, Right Side, in the back: Ribs #s 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12
    5. Broken Pelvis, Right Side – broken two places in the acetabulum
    6. Left Arm tissue/nerve damage

    All in all, he is in pretty good shape compared to what the hospital is used to seeing in a motorcycle accident. He will be okay…it will take time for him to heal and he will be getting lots of rehab and physical therapy.

    We appreciate all the love and support from everyone. Please continue to pray for a speedy recovery.

    Our Heartfelt Thanks,
