CR Johnson

uhhh yeah... dude he didnt even know how to sit down and stand up

definatly. relearn everything is not an understatement. like he has to learn to talk again.

I wonder what sort of latent information is left in his brain. Like can he still speak english in his head but he just needs to teach his body how to do it...or is the whole thing wiped clean.

there was another thread that said he was talking again and walking up stairs and shit

he is now out of the icu and is making a great and speedy recovery

Thursday, Jan. 12, 2006
After 34 days of hospitalization, C.R. has been released and has gone home to his parents' house in Truckee, CA. "C.R. is living with us until he can drive and be independent," said C.R.'s dad, Rusty.


AMAZING


C.R. leaves the hospital with his family.


"It has been an astonishing show of love and support from his family, friends, and even fans," he added. "Schoolmates drove from Truckee just to see CR for one night or an afternoon. His compatriot pro skiers spent evenings cheering him up when I'm sure he'd seen plenty of his parents. His sponsors sent presents, came by and pulled for him to return to the ski scene. We owe an impossible debt of gratitude to 'the U' hospital staff who just saved CR's life. They did that while making us as comforable and informed as possible."

C.R. continues therapy (occupational, speech and physical) at his parents home, but he is officially out of the woods and rumor is he's planning to be back on the hill by spring.

This will end our daily and weekly updates of C.R.'s progress. It certainly is a Happy New Year for the Johnson family.

back by spring would be the comeback of the century

idk thats crazy... I'm pretty skeptical. I mean personally If he was skiing nice easy groomers by march-April, that would be great. I hope he doesn't try to get back into it too fast. Hopefully he'll just take it easy and train, and make a fresh start next year. You never want to rush the recovery time of a serious injury.

yea he difinately won't be trickin for a while

this is amazing. look at the guy, he is going to be ok!

He kept asking for Mexican food, said he was going crazy with hunger, and that he was “going to snap.” At one point, his father asked him if he remembered what city he was in, and CR responded, “Shit-Hole No-Food City.” hahaha that made me laugh
