Tred Barta

[kingair]

On his way to Alaska to tape his TV show, Tred Barta suffered a rare occurrence called a spinal stroke affecting his T2-T10 vertebrae. Since there are only 12 of these Thoracic bones, that’s a very large area. He is currently paralyzed from just below the chest down. Prognosis is way up in the air at the moment. Some medicos predict permanent paralysis while others have given him up to a 60-percent chance of at least partial recovery. His message to everyone is… “Don’t take a single second of your life for granted.”

Sad to hear. Praying for a full recovery.

However I do need to start a separate thread about another aspect of this over in Chatter.

One of the most controversial sportsman on TV, but you gotta respect his passion for what he does, and for life in general.

Get well Tred.
