My wife went down.
« on: March 10, 2017, 10:12:26 AM »

My wife, Donna, went down yesterday.  She was out riding with a friend, they were south bound on I-75 just north of Chattanooga.  The 18 wheeler in front of her had the drive shaft drop out of truck.  My wife hit it as 70 mph.  Her friend says she tried to stay on bike but it was flopping side to side everywhere.  She came off the bike and slid and rolled down the interstate for 50 yards or so.  It was heavy traffic and luckily all the traffic could stop.

The Lord had to be watching out for her.  On her left side she has a broken clavicle, three broken ribs and a broken wrist.  On her right side she has a sprained ankle.  After 13 hours at the hospital I was able to bring her home at 3:00 am last night.  It sure could have been a lot worse.

She is doing well, and in good spirits.  She is worried about her bike.

Prayers for her pain to dissipate are greatly appreciated.

It must have been terrifying for her, Dave, and I am so sorry this has happened.  It digs up bad memories for me when my wife and I hit that deer, so I know how scared you were for her as well.  I'm very glad she will be all right.  Certainly, the Lord was protecting her in those moments, of that you can be sure.  My prayers are with you both.

Can't imagine what thoughts went through your mind.  She must be a very tough--but sore--girl.  Let her know our thoughts and prayers are for a speedy and uneventful recovery.

It goes to show you anything can happen at any time even with her extensive experience & abilities.  Hope she heels quickly, it could have been so much worse.
