Becky update..

Becky survived the 6+ hours operation and had a lot of titanium installed for the broken bones. Here's the damage assessment:

compound fracture femur (thigh): titanium rod installed
broken forearm: titanium plate with screws installed
broken wrist
broken thumb
crushed spleen: now clotting (good thing) probably no splenectomy required
crushed foot: boots flew off 100 yards still tied (?!) off her feet. Still hurts her a lot MRI details to follow

She'll make a full recovery it's expected. She's in a decent amount of pain. Any seatcovers will be unfortunately delayed. Please relay this to Ninjette.org for those who were waiting on orders? I'd appreciate it. I've been quite busy with insurance and lawyers and such.

I don't know how I wasn't hit. I'm not even sure if I reacted to avoid the spinning Toyota Corolla (I thought it was a Mazda 626 but it was a Toyota Corolla 1999). There was probably a tenth of a second reaction time. It blurred into my vision so suddenly and distorted, similar to those of you familiar with going very high speeds. The driver and 2 passengers are fine, though airlifted. Luckily they had Tripple-A insurance.

It's a bit morbid but if anyone wants to see the bike as-is now, let me know and email me at mikecronis@msn.com

She's actually been quite chatty in-between drowsy pain-meds. Her seats were salvaged by me by approval of State Patrol after the damage. It's interesting to note though the bike was destroyed, her seatcovers were almost completely unhurt though the seats flew-off the bike and landed 300 feet into a field. Now THAT'S quality seatcovers! She was amused a bit to note this and smiled.

oh my God - I get tears every time I read this. Wow.

zartan · July 26th, 2009, 09:30 AM

Yea it is hard to hear and I hope no one posts picts of the bike. Makes me sick

Strider · July 26th, 2009, 09:34 AM

At least she's alive! Thank goodness!!!

JS73 · July 26th, 2009, 08:28 PM

Wow, I don't know the gal, but this is very sad to hear.
Have a speedy recovery and heal well, Becky.

camaroz1985 · July 26th, 2009, 08:33 PM

Glad to hear things are going so well (all things considered). Also nice to see that the people around her are able to bring her some joy and get her thoughts off the pain she is in.

Best of luck in the recovery Becky, it will be tough, but we all know that you are too.

Snake · July 26th, 2009, 09:00 PM

I'm glad to hear that she is doing well. Now the recovery begins. Hope you heal quickly Becky.
Zartan, thanks for the update.

BlueTyke · July 27th, 2009, 07:17 AM

Thanks for the update!!

She is strong and I continue to wish her a quick recovery!!

Btw that is a great selling point on the seat covers ><' (

tiburonsita · July 27th, 2009, 10:18 AM

That's just horrible. Wish the best for her and that she recovers fully.

ASecretNinja · July 27th, 2009, 01:09 PM

****

Becky was so helpful with my first seat cover that I JUST placed a second order with her. Would could either start a fund like someone said, or just bombard her with a crazy amount of business

A ninjette stimulus package of sorts

Speedy recovery Becky!

istreefitty · July 27th, 2009, 01:27 PM

Our families thoughts and prayers go out to you Becky, I hope everything works out.

BlueTyke · July 30th, 2009, 05:45 AM

Just got an email back and they say to send cards here:

Becky Cronis
8285 Pinegate Drive
Colorado Springs, CO 80925

and for those waiting for orders, this email was an automatic response from my reply of Thanks..

dimeified · July 30th, 2009, 06:37 AM

I read these stories on the forums, this, and DNAl0r on the kawiforum, and still, i get on my bike. But i am far from fearless, i am scared of the sky lift at the bronx zoo because i hate heights. In any event, i think i'll have to be placing an order in a couple months when she recovers (heals).

randomwalk101 · July 30th, 2009, 08:09 AM

OMG...Speedy recovery Becky..

let's go kill that Toyota Corolla douchebag.

BlueRaven · July 30th, 2009, 09:36 AM

i hope you get good drugs for the pain Becky

still alive and kicking!

Thank you eveyone. I've just been able to get online. I'll still have to have more surguries on my left foot as it's still broken in four places, but I'm on the road to recovery for sure.

Thanks for all the support!

Take care,
Becky

kkim · July 30th, 2009, 10:20 PM

I might be able to help with the stimulus thing (just couldn't erase the recovery thing)

My Whole family sends good thoughts to her and I think positive of her often.

imunro · July 31st, 2009, 12:19 AM

BlueTyke · July 31st, 2009, 05:48 AM

Yep, luckily for me there is a law being put in place in a few months here in ontario, hope becky has a quick recovery

Blue Monkey · July 31st, 2009, 10:32 AM

Waiting for some updates from the Doc today. Hope it's good news. Staying in a hospital bed and then having to get up for therapy is very painfful.
