Drivers- please be very careful of bikers on the road!
Bikers- please be very careful of drivers on the road!
Last Friday night my mom was biking home from work around 7pm and crossing a street got hit by a car. She's OK for the most part, but broke her left tibia, just under the knee. Other than that, not a scratch. It's amazing nothing else was hurt! Originally we thought she'd have to get surgery to fix it, put a pin or two in place, but after the orthopedic appointment yesterday we found out that with a millimeter gap, she can avoid weight on that leg and keep it immobilized for 4 weeks. Every 10 days they'll x-ray to make sure that it's healing and not increasing the gap. Mom will be on crutches for about 6-8 weeks, which changes the summer a bit, but hopefully she'll be getting back as we go to the beach. We can deal with the accommodations for an injured leg, I'm just happy nothing else went wrong!
