John Graziano To Receive Reconstructive Surgery
 Monday, July 21st, 2008  by Connie T.

Dan Lamothe of the Marine Corps Times wrote a very in-depth article about Lance Cpl. John Graziano, the Marine and Iraq War veteran who was brutally injured when Nick Hogan (nee Bollea) crashed his Toyota Supra while speeding and under the influence.

Graziano is still unconscious and near comatose at James A. Haley Veterans Hospital in Tampa, Florida. He receives physical therapy including a machine that gives his body the exercise of walking.

Doctors long ago removed a portion of his skull in order to allow room for the swelling of his brain; Edward Graziano, John's father, said that John is scheduled for reconstructive cranialplasty surgery in the near future. The missing part of his cranium will be replaced with acrylic bone.

Our thoughts and well wishes continue to be with John Graziano and his family and friends.

Nick Hogan, meanwhile, has served less than three months of his 8-month sentence, and is still in Pinellas County Jail.
