Please tell me that the scope is an ol' Colt!

Morning everyone. We were just getting ready to leave for church last night when we got word that my wife's sister fell off of her bike in a forest preserve, impaling herself on a freshly cut, small diameter tree trunk. Her husband thought she was a goner when he saw her. Anyways, a jogger came by and called 911 and they finally got her out after a long search to find them and now she is in the hospital with fractured ribs, a punctured lung and a great deal of blood loss. It looks like she's going to be okay but she is in agonizing pain.

So I'm not complaining about my little aches and pains today as things like this remind me of how much worse life can be. Thoughts and prayers for Margaret are appreciated. Thanks.

OMG, what a horrible, freak accident. I'm heading to church and will add extra prayers for her.

Good grief!! What a freak accident! We'll certainly keep her in our prayers for a quick recovery.

Wow! It sounds like she is lucky to have survived! I assure you I will be praying for Margaret.

Prayers and positive healing energies being sent out for Margaret

Tracker, really sorry to hear that - I hope she has a speedy recovery.

 

[Tracker II]

Thanks greatly for your kind words and prayers everyone. My wife just got back from visiting her and they are going to keep her in the hospital for two or three more days. She has loose air in her chest and they have a tube coming out of her chest to allow it to escape. Barring any unforeseen complications, she's going to be okay though.

What her husband didn't tell us when he called last night was that he panicked and when he biked for help, he had a wreck of his own and now his arm is in a sling and has two bandaged knees (no broken bones though). Thank God that jogger came by when she did.

Anyways, thanks again for your prayers. God is good.

Glad to hear she is going to be OK. Her husband was in a tough situation having to leave her to get help and then wrecking himself. Thankful for the jogger with a cell phone! Yes the Lord is good!

Yikes - I can't imagine the level of emotion her husband had leaving her and pedaling for help. Glad to hear her prognosis is good and he's doing ok too. And the jogger coming along just at the right time - just goes to show ya' - not all angels have wings. Best wishes to them both.

 

[Semiretired]

Tracker - thanks for the update. We will continue with good hopes and prayers for her recovery...

 

[Tracker II]

Thanks again everybody. I don't know what forest preserve bike path they were on but it sounds the path from H - E - Double Hockey Sticks and I doubt they or anyone from our family will ever go near it again, lol.

Okay, and now back to our regular programming. What's for dinner?

Did you bring enough for everyone??? lol

wow Tracker, so sorry she's having to endure that, and truly angels were watching over her. Wish I'd seen this before church this morning, but adding my prayers for her and the hubby and also for you and your wife. So stressful to see this happen to someone you love. As long as the chest tube fully re-expands the lung she should be fine, as you said barring any infections or anything. So hard to watch someone suffer and not be able to fix it.

 

[Debadoo]

This is for Holly if she finds her way over here (ie, clicks on the link I posted) lol

I had seen vids of the grand calibur and one of my stamp students just got one a few days ago and brought it over with a set of nesties she got. Wow those things are huge. I can't really see me using ones that big since I do mostly cards. Which is good, cuz I don't have the $ for one anyhow. lol

Who are you on the design team for? That's so kewl!
