Brian Hickey, Home Recovering

On the good news front: Ex-City Paper editor and Johnny Doc PR man Brian Hickey is home from the hospital and doing well, all things considered.

Yesterday, he gave an exclusive interview to Action News‘ Matt O’Donnell, which they were more than happy to label as such (see photo). O’Donnell says the recovery is “remarkable.” And also:

Freelance journalist Brian Hickey doesn’t like wearing the helmet that protects his fragile brain, or the brace that protects his vertebrae, but he loves being alive.

Ahh, yes, I was hoping he’d like the whole “staying alive” part after the accident. O’Donnell does note, though, that “doctors need to reattach two large portions of [Hickey's] skull.” Yikes. Good to see Hickey is home and best of luck to him on his continuing recovery.

    Gee, thanks for using the shot with the helmet - even before I’ve been able to have someone paint the Kraken on it. Now that’s a picture that I think’d rock, even more than Medusa’s concreted head in the Burgess Meredith epic Clash of the Titans.
    On a serious note, though - not that the Kraken isn’t serious because he’s deadly serious, even moreso that getting hit by a car in Collingswood - I appreciate the sentiments for my continued recovery.

    Really, I just wanted to get an image of you and Matt O’Donnell enjoying a moment.

    I was just kidding; the post was much appreciated. (Kidding about everything about wanting The Kraken on my helmet, that is. That creature is out there and I’m committed to finding it, at least if it’s in the mighty Cooper River.
