Tamara,
God speed for a healthy and quick recovery. $#@%%!! two wheel things are fun, but they bite hard. Been there, done that and walked away. 32 years later I still get gimped up when the weather turns damp. I read the short version of what happened and it sounds a whole lot like the same thing that happened to my best friend. He didn't swerve though. He broadsided the car. His passenger made it, my friend rode the bike cartwheel over the hood. He didn't. Lost one good friend, don't need that again. Get well quick girl, you hear!

A thankful prayer, and hope that you're back with us soon...

Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Tamara.

3 weeks before our wedding, an old friend who was to be one of our ushers had this happen to him. RIP, Pete....

I will never get on a bike again. I promised my wife...
 
After 25 years on (and off) motorbikes, I know how quickly and easily it happens ....

Riding a motorbike has made me a better car driver.

Get well soon and get back here, you hear? You only need one hand to type. ;-)

All my best, Tam

A speedy and complete recovery to you, Tamara!!!

That, according to the Motorcycle Safety Foundation course I took, is the most common type of M/C-auto collision (notice I didn't say accident - collisions are preventable). Auto takes a left turn across the path of the M/C. I've witnessed one, know another person it happened to, and darn near experienced it myself.
 
My God. Sorry to hear about this Tamara. I just hope you can have a good recovery and things can get back to normal for you.
 
Tamara, Hope you get well soon. That SS hardware sounds extensive. I had the same type of accident, but went under a semi-trailor. You would not believe how big those tires look from directly in front. :eek:

Tamara -
Best wishes for a speedy recovery and a prayer of thanks that you're OK.

I, too, am a repentent scooter jockey, gave it up when empirical evidence demonstrated that the MTTR (mean time to recover) is significantly different at 39 vs. 19 (wife's first brain tumor also had some impact on the decision to quit). Still miss them though, scooters are high in the "top ten most fun you can have with your clothes on" list. Take care, take your PT seriously, we all be channeling good thoughts your way.

Tamara, good luck on a speedy recovery!

(In a joking, but loving tone).. Remember that cigarettes will cause you to scar worse, since they won't be letting you smoke in the hospital, perhaps now is a good time to start quitting? :rolleyes:

In seriousness, please let us know if there is anything we can do to help you. Get a good lawyer, if your case is as cut and dry as it sounds, you deserve to be compensated for not only your injuries, but your lost time at work, and lost time doing the things you enjoy! I was able to include the hindered ability to rack the slide on my shotgun in my case against the trash truck that ran over my beloved pickup truck!

God Bless you on your way to a speedy recovery, and as sexy as the picture you showed us on your webpage was, you can keep the pics of your pins for yourself, working in the medical field, for some odd reason, people always want to show those things off

Tamara,
From a (former) fellow biker, best wishes for a quick and complete recovery. In the meantime, remember the quiet evening rides:
- Remember the temperature changes as you rode between hills or in and out of wooded areas.
- Remember the sweet smell of flowers that you enjoyed that the coddled ones in their 4000 pound behemoths never knew about.
- Remember the sound of birds along the road, the incredible ability to see all around you, high and low, unencumbered by the roof or windows of the mobile couch potatoes.
- Remember also you have a lot of folks pulling for you. Get well. Have faith. As ugly as this is, it will pass. Stay strong.

Ride to Live - Live to Ride.
 
"My thoughts are with you for a speedy recovery." - OK, the PC Hallmark moment is over. ;)

Ouch! :( Tamara, I know you are going to be in some terrific pain with all those broken bones. Don't feel shy about asking for pain killers! Docs are great about making you feel like you got to beg for them. There's no shame in saying, "Doc, I'm hurtin' and if you hold out on the drugs I'm gonna hurt you worse." I recently had a similar conversation with my own doctor after my surgery. :)

Seriously, I hope you get feeling better and your recovery is quick.
