    They found him across the street from his truck on a sidewalk outside a poppa johns pizza place. Pretty much right in a major thoroughfare. No beer on him, no nothing. He talked to the people that did it shortly before it happened it turns out. He thinks they were late teens early twenties. He is slowy getting more memory of what happened. The good news is he can move his toes and was able to lift his left arm up this past week. Can't move his fingers or right arm yet but that is outstanding he got his left arm up in the air. He has finally come to grips with what has happened and now is ready to work as hard as he can to get out of his bed. So he just needs to be in a therapy hospital where he can work at it all day.

    I have read the police report but am not going to post it here. Dozens witnesses. Mind you it was halloween night so most people just thought it was halloween nonsense until the guy that did it ran away. Basically says this was an attempted murder, and he was left there bleeding to die. They tracked the perps with a bloodhound into a fenced and locked trailer park where they lost the scent. That said, there are only about 100 trailers in this park, one would think they could find the described people with access to get into it....but they havent yet.

    Sorry about your friends luck, but I'm actually going to agree with Swift. This was not a work related incident, hense not covered under WC.

    And to elaborate further:

    If I wake up from my own bed to go to work and twist my ankle getting out of bed, that wouldn't be WC either. Yeah, I was headed to work, but I wasn't on the clock or on the property performing a work related task.
