They watched movies together on TV. They planned golf outings for the spring and taunted each other over who would win. And I feel the same way for Danny. Bobby still cringes when he recalls the agony of those first two weeks. People would visit him and be greeted with "I'm messed up, man. I'm messed up bad. But also: "I remember in the hospital, the doctor asking me to wiggle my toes, and I could do that," says Hurley.
The rehabilitation process was draining. Six weeks after the accident, having returned to New Jersey, Hurley began going to a health club in Bayonne. The act of walking across the gym to a treadmill winded him. His first attempt at sustained exercise was to walk a mile in 10 minutes, which was embarrassing. By early March, Hurley was running. In April he began playing games of one-on-one with his personal trainer, Mike Hurley no relation , using a nine-foot basket.
It was an unexpected bonus that the torn ligament in Hurley's knee didn't require surgery. Marder agrees. The emotional recovery has been difficult, too.
Flashbacks to the accident, seemingly as real and terrifying as the crash itself, have been unnerving. Hurley will be sitting on a couch or, worse, driving a car, when something will trigger the memory of the crash. At one point Hurley consulted a sports psychologist, who helped him devise ways to shake loose from the flashbacks. I feel like I'm normal now.
Hurley plans to spend most of this summer at the five-bedroom house he bought for his family on the Jersey shore. He is having a gym installed in the garage. Plus, if I get in another accident, this is a pretty good cat to be sitting in. Danny, too, is mending. He has undergone counseling and is working out. Bobby says, "Danny and I know how fragile things can be.
Our family has learned not to base your happiness on whether the ball goes through the hoop. And, incidentally, the ball has been going through the hoop lately. Early last week Bobby played his first full-court game since Dec. Sure, it was only against high school and college kids at White Eagle Hall, a refurbished bingo joint in Jersey City. But he felt fast and quick, almost like before. And he made two NBA-length three-pointers. A visit to the intersection where the smashup occurred wasn't the only time that Hurley has had flashbacks about the accident.
