Has anyone seen this site (probably have, since it's the 2nd hit when you Google "Richard Hammond"!)
http://groups.msn.com/HammondHeaven/factfile.msnw
I knew he was popular but had no idea he had a real god-worshippers site!!
Wonder if there's a "James May is God" site somewhere...
Glad to hear your condition is getting better, Hamster. Hope it continues and you are back on the TV before we have even missed ya!

[EXPERT `HOPEFUL' FOR HAMMOND RECOVERY
By John Bingham, PA
The fact Richard Hammond was able to regain some consciousness in the
immediate aftermath of his high-speed accident could bolster hopes of a good
recovery, according to experts.
Neurosurgeon John Firth, of Nottingham, said that regaining consciousness or
being able to speak immediately after such an accident would point towards the
brain beginning to fight back against the initial injury.
But he said that the next 10 days could be crucial in determining the outcome
with doctors likely to be on the look-out for swelling, haemorrhaging or clots.
Mr Firth, who serves on a panel of experts for the brain injury association
Headway, said: "The basic rule is if the person talks again then what we are
looking for is a good recovery.
"If enough of their brain is working to be able to talk and start to wake up,
hopefully the basic condition of the brain is such that if you can overcome all
the other problems you can make a good recovery.
"You can have the most horrific crash and make a good recovery or have
seemingly trivial head injuries which kill you - and they can kill you either by
the brain swelling or by it bleeding inside the head and forming a haematoma."
He said complications such as swelling were common in such cases but praised
the skills on offer at the Leeds General Infirmary which he described as having
an international reputation.
"It can easily take 10 days before one is out of the woods, you can have
haemorrhaging inside the brain quite commonly up to 10 days later," he said.
"In terms of the short term - controlling the swelling of the brain and being
worried about whether you have got all of the clot out if there was one - it is
normally four to five days."

) He was in a coma for over a week and was even given the last rites. He was very fortunate to pull through. Within 18 months of intensive therapy (talking and walking) he was back to almost his nomal self. The only lasting effects are that he's a little bit 'shakey', a bit forgetful sometimes and 'lost' a month somewhere
The body and brain are very resourceful

Well done everyone, shows how much everyone loves the Hamster.
Very best wishes to Richard and family.
Loved the fact his only response to date was a smile when Clarkson said he had crashed because he was a cr*p driver.
