Dougs feet and ankles received 3rd degree burns after hudreds of gals of boilig water spilled out of a giant water res. He is today going through with first skin graph at Iowa City burn unit. Please if u know Doug or if you don't let him know we are all here for him! He has been through a lot! He is in middle of filling his 220 for the second time and will not be able to finish for a long time now, workers comp. hardly pays the bills! Doug would never ask for a hand out but, anything even a good word helps!!! Thanks!

Wow, tell him we are thinking about him.

+1.  I don't have many frags but will be happy to help as possible when he gets back.

Ouch....thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery.

Thinking of you BIG-D!!

Wishing Big-D the best. I have been to his house once since the accident to help him with his new tank. The tank looks good and told him to call me if he needs anything else. Good guy, hope the recovery goes smooth and quick. Good luck Doug. Call if you need anything.

Yeah I talked to him last weekend right after this happened. It sounded real scary. I talked to him Tuesday and he sounded like he was in a lot of pain and getting prepped for the grafts. I cannot imagine the pain.

Wow hate to hear this I really hope everything goes well.

It would be great if we could start a collection 5-10 bucks times alot of people goes a LONG way. Just a thought.

Was down to Doug's this summer. Great guy and we'll be thinking of him.

+1 on the collection.

Sorry to hear about this. Good Luck Doug and get well soon!

+2 on the collection. Hope for a fast recovery.

Get better Doug!

Just talked to him and he is home doing good. Still a ruff road ahead (lots of pain) I'm running down there sunday if anyone would like me to take a card or what not to him. Just drop it at ac&c.

I will volunteer to start a collection fund. I'm thinking just paypal would be easiest, I suppose I can use my personal account as long as everyone trusts me to deliver it to him. If anyone wants to contribute a few bucks PM me and I'll give you my paypal e-mail address, unless someone has a better idea.

Sent mine to you.

hope you get better soon will be praying for your recovery i have a friend kc kapaska that was badly burned in a accident it was tough but god has showed him the way he has written a book recently and has ran over 300 miles a couple of years ago to help build a church and helps the native american indians

Sorry to hear about your accident Doug. Yes, morphine is good stuff. Stay ahead of the pain (take as rx'd) as it will really help. Keep the wounds clean! Stay strong as your journey through this will be long. My thoughts and prayers are with you!!
