    silver in the hospital

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    this is silver's hubby (feeling a little self-conscious on the team-ESTROGEN site).

    Silver was in a 30mph wipe out today that left her with a couple of broken ribs, back bruises and some really nasty road rash . Bike is ruined, helmet cracked, but she's going to be OK, except for pain.

    Here's my request:

    Please post a long list of best wishes to her so she can come home tomorrow and "feel the love"...

    No PMs please.

    Update: She's up to five broken ribs, small pneumothorax (mildly collapsed lung?), and the pain is getting worse. In addition, now that I'm on the TE site twice in one day, I'm feeling a little 'girly'. Not sure if she'll be home today or not...

    Good news is: a) I've done a lot of laundry today and b) I just bought the new Trek Medone she's been wanting to cheer her up. Shhh! It's still a secret...

    Well Silver's testosterone laden DH, fear not - estrogen wipes off easily unless you are female .

    I am so sorry that Silver had such an aweful accident, but am very glad to hear she is going to be alright. Please tell her to post details once she is able to motivate and in the frame of mind to share.

    And Silver when you read this, know that I am sending you mental hugs and wishes for a speedy recovery. Why not milk this, and have the DH wait on you hand and foot?? I certainly would!

    (((silver))) Oops, hope the hug didn't hurt. I'm so sorry to hear about your crash. 30 mph? Dang girl you're tough. Ribs are quite painful and take a long while to heal since breathing keeps them moving around. Just hang in there and go very slowly. If you ever feel like something isn't right or you're strangely out of breath, don't hesistate to call your doc ASAP.

    Best wishes on a speedy recovery and I agree with CyclChyk, milk it. Actually, I think you'll find he'll need to do just about everything for you for a while anyway. When you're ready, I'd like to hear a little about what happened.

    Take care! (and thanks silver's hubby for letting us know what happened and that she's ok.)

    Oh wow, that's awful! Poor poor Silver!!!
    Thank goodness you will be ok with time.
    Please feel better soon. We all wait to hear from you again as soon as you can type.
    Thank you Silver's husband, for so kindly letting us all know! (and my husband always chuckles whenever I get a bike gear package in the mail from "Team Estrogen")

    Silver you have a great DH. Glad he let us know you are down so we can send some much needed support your way. Take care and DO NOT, DO NOT rush to get back on a bike anytime soon. Let your body recover, no need to reinjure yourself, take it from me, off my bike going on 8 weeks now and possibly another 5 weeks to go. Let the body heal!!!!!
