Yup, got the call I never want to get. Rhiannon crashed in the GT race. Apparently some one got anxious passing.
Anyhow, broken ribs, broken collar bone and broken finger. They haven't done a head x-ray yet, so hopefully that will be OK.
She's at Halifax, and she's supposed to call me later. She remembers what happened, so that's a good sign.
I'll keep you guys updated.
That is the only bad part of this great sport. I sincerely hope your list of injuries is all she has to deal with. Here is to a speedy recovery! If she needs moral support waiting for next season, send her to the board as quite a few of us are in the same boat.
Remembering is definately a good thing, Hope all is well and she heals up well.
hope all ends up ok, prayers out to you guys
best wishes to her from us and paul gilchrist
OMG.....tell her to heal up!!!!
I hope everything is ok...
Tell her to get well soon. Prayers and thoughts.
Well, latest update is that they're moving her to a regular room for overnight. She's pretty tough, but she said this is the most pain she's ever been in.
I'll check in tomorrow with an update.
Thanks for all of the support, it's very much appreciated!
Damn,
Prayers and wishes for her Alexa.
Let us know how she is doing.

Heal up fast kid.

Hoping you heal up soon.
Rhiannon gave me some great advice up at RA and really helped me out with the stupid brake fade on the GSXR... Great competitor and a good sport... Heal up quick
Take care,
Kurt.
Sorry to hear that. Please let her know we're thinking of her and hoping for a speedy recovery.

Not the way to end the season......... heal up quick Rhiannon. We'll see you at the banquet??
Ouch. Heal up quick! She is a tough one! :)
I am so sorry to hear that she crashed! We're thinking of you and hope things heal up quickly!!
Sorry to hear that,hoping for a speedy recovery
This really sucks, hope she get's well soon!
As a word of advice, when I broke my ribs it helped for me to sleep in a recliner, laying down was uncomfortable as hell for the 1st 3 weeks or so!
Thanks everyone. She also had a collapsed lung so they're keeping her until tomorrow. She's got a big honkin' cast on her arm for her broken finger. Any bets on how long that will last?
Anyhow, her Arai did it's job and no head trauma. They have her on happy meds so she's all good for now. Wait til Monday, though.
Emailed her the link to SDs bone voodoo. She'll probably get some ASAP.
Y'all are the best!

What part of her finger did she break?
I had a boxer fracture on my pinky and ring finger last yr. I had a cast (and pins) to just past my knuckles to about a inch or so from my elbow. They did trim back my cast a couple of times to help with regaining movement and PT. But 8 weeks later it came off. And then about a month of PT after that to get all the flexability back.
Hope she heals up quick!
Ouch, Sucks to hear that! Hope she starts feel better soon. I know exactly what that feels like...and don't wish it on anyone (found out at my last doctors appt I also broke three ribs in my last incident)
OUCH! Glad it wasn't worse, hope she heals up quick!
Sorry to hear it Alexa... Good to hear she's making good progress and in the grand scheme of things it's not all that bad. Race on Rhiannon!
I got to see Rhiannon at the hospital, sittin in a chair smiling, bandaged from top to bottom, and she had a message to bring back to everyone..."I'll be back tomorrow for practice!!!" Now that's a roadracer! Prayers for a speedy recovery.
Sorry to hear, wishing you a speedy recovery Rhiannon!
Well, she didn't practice, obviously. ;) She is doing better.
She'll be in Milwaukee staying with Mommie for a few weeks. She was supposed to fly to Italy next week, but you can't fly when you've recently had a collapsed lung, so she's grounded.
She gets to bug me though, and I'm sure Grandma will have some home cooked Italian to fatten her up.
Heal up! I saw her getting interviewed Sunday by the Daytona announcer on pit road during the Thunderbike race caution. She's a true racer! :thumb:
Great Mom Great Kid- my best wishes Cat
Get well soon! I just heard about this last night. Hopefully things are going well.
Ouch!!! Get well soon, chickie!
KIM!!! Are we ever going to see you again? Ever?
I bet Rhiannon is bummed about not going to Italy. How long is she staying with you? It sure would be nice to see her again.
Tell that little whipper-snapper that I know of a great place she can stay when she wants to visit Italy....
Russ
Sorry Rhi. I remember you dodging this bullet at Gateway. Thought you were toast that day and you got up laughing. Sorry it ever had to find you. Hope you heal quick and come back faster than ever.
Heal up soon, my house needs a good Vacuum and the dishes are starting to pile up let alone the windows need to be cleaned. :biggrin:
Get well soon. :cheers:
Ouch!
I did that in 2003... I was glad to find out Halifax is a great place to visit if you need trauma care.
Best wishes RL!
GET BETTER SOON

Get well soon!
MJ

Best wishes for a quick recovery!
Crashing bites.
So what's the deal?
Do we get an update?
Did she break both hands or is she going to log on and say hi to us?
Jeeze...... some people ::) :biggrin:
She's a poop. Ignoring all her peeps and stuff.
She just got back to Ohio, saw the Docs and they say about 3 more weeks until she can go back to a full workout routine, but other than that, she's healing fine. Whining about not being 100%, so yeah, almost back to normal. :biggrin:
Thank you, and yes she's a big poop for diss'n the peeps! :spank:
