Tumbleweed Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Kelly was hit this morning from behind by a car. As far as I can make out - sorry, there were a lot of people giving me details at the same time, so things are muddled a bit - it was near where Pretoria Road links with Atlas. She's in the Linmed now - which was kind of a reversal us: it's normally her waiting to hear news about my condition. I saw her about two hours ago. She's fractured a vertebra, broken her nose, an injury to her left eye will be assessed tomorrow, and she's covered in bruises, cuts and roasties. When we left the hospital, she was being moved out of A&E to go to ICU. Despite the pain, she's in great spirits, and managed some jokes with us. It's still too early to tell the extent and length of her recovery, but she'll be off the bike for a while. But, Kel's a tough cookie, and a stubborn one too, so she'll fight.
Pulse Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Sad to hear. Hope she recovers soon. She'll be in my prayers
BarHugger Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Not nice to end the weekend like this. Trust that the healing process will be quick and uneventful. Advise her (don't tell her) to take it slow and rustig......vertebrae can be a bit of a problem if not looked after properly. Strongs to you also.....too close to home this.
maidenmole Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 *** news Barry. Strength to her in the recovery process.
BrandonF_ Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Heal up soon and strong Kelly, hope you'll be found on your bike in no time
Bernard Horn Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Speedy recovery and strength to the family
LOOK695 Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Not nice to hear B. Will keep Kelly in my prayers. Strength to you and the boys as well. Keep us updated
HappyMartin Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Not nice at all Barry. Hope she gets better quickly
flymango Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Sorry to hear the sad news Barry, and wishing Kelly a full and speedy recovery. This morning my wife and I cycled around the Atlantic Sea Board, Suikerbossie and Chappies, and we both had near brushes with vehicles from behind. Thankfully we can both reflect on a fantastic ride, but the margin is so small.
RocknRolla Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Sorry to hear Tumbleweed. Hope she has a full and speedy recovery.
Cois Posted February 8, 2015 Posted February 8, 2015 Good luck and strongs! Not the greatest injury to pick up. Hope that the car stuck round to face the music.
