I assumed the forum closed when the site mostly did. I am still riding although on 9/7/19 I was hit by a distracted driver who was going probably 50 mph. I lost 2.5-3 liters blood when my mesentery artery ruptured. Broke 5 ribs, my ulna snapped in two, had two fractures in my pelvis (pubis and sacrum), broke the T12,L1 and L5. I had aspiration pneumonia, my left lung collapsed and eventually needed a chest tube. I spent 6 days in a medically induced coma on a vent. I also had two deep punctures (right thigh and my butt) that were on a wound vac 26 days. I was hospitalized a total of 26 days. I was in a TLSO brace three months, left in a wheelchair with a walker and am still in PT.
