Greetings all.
Yes, I am still “on this list”…. That is because I am still the registered
owner of the list.
Well, I am also the AL ALCOR, so that would qualify too… but the point is,
that I am here, and that is ok.
I wanted to chime in on this issue (Coshow).
Claude and I did have a chance to discuss this issue a few evenings back, and I
think it is a wonderful idea.
Yes, I have injury also. I have a compression fracture on L2 (vertebrae), and
am currently wearing a “Turtle Shell”. Simpl alternate wording, I broke my back
!!
I had two separate hospitalizations, one for the trauma (4 days), and then
another 4 days at Banner-Dessert for CHF (Water on the Lungs) which was causing
extensive difficulty in breathing.
But that is all coming around, and things are getting better.
As far as expenses, I have some different circumstances than Mr. Coshow. It
would appear that initial expenses for me are in excess of $100,000 (yup – that
is real).
Those numbers will be reduced by Cigna… I am sure. But in the end, with the
various insurance coverages that I have in place, all will be covered, and I
have no personal need for financial assistance at this time.
Thus, I am agreeing with Claude. There is an “opportunity” for EVAC members to
help one of their own (Mr. Coshow), and anything at all would help a lot.

Subject: [evac-board] Dave Coshow
I have set Dave Coshow's Board and Announce email to Vacation, so he won't see
this.
As you know, Dave was in a serious accident a few weeks ago. He is doing
better. All the broken bones have now been set. He has a skin graft operation
set for Thursday. Hopefully that is the last surgical procedures. To say the
least this has been a pretty traumatic and expensive event. Dave is retired,
and this kind of hit wasn't in the budget. I am not requesting that EVAC
itself make a donation, but I am suggesting that we "pass the hat" at the next
meeting. Individuals can donate as they wish. I can tell you it will make a
big difference to bridge the initial expenses not covered by insurance. (most
of us have Medicare, and the out of pocket expenses do mount up). Dave
Douglass was a passenger in the car, and does not have the same expenses or
long term issues that Dave Coshow does I am suggesting the money is for Dave
Coshow.
Thanks - I would appreciate emails in response to this to confirm this is a
proper thing to do, or to express any concerns.
Dave Coshow is in the Mission Palms of Mesa Health and Rehabilitation center at
6458 E Broadway Rd (Power and Broadway) in Room 207
His cell is 480-244-8997
Since his wife has a muscular disease and is not mobile, his family is taking
care of her. That means that Dave doesn't have a lot of visitors, and might
appreciate a cheer up.
