Donna is OK!!

[GSPKurt]

All-
Thank you for your help and concern. Donna took 27 stitches externally and many internally. She is home and resting. Will be a nasty scar, though.

Thanks for the medical assistance. We appreciate it very much.

I think she was distracted by the damage to her new quad and didn't notice the injury.

glad shes okay and still cant belive she didnt feel it but hope shes ready to ride again reall soon.

So glad that Donna is on the mend............she has a very high tolerance! But she still has a standing ride date when shes A-OK...........

[jjamesbar]

i still amazed how tough she is.  she took some serious falls and the thing is she acted so immune to the pain. what a trooper.

Glad tohear that you are going to be OK. Was thinking about all the rest of the day. You are one tough lady. Heard that she rode for about 20 min after this happened. Get better soon.

"My hat is off to you Donna."  Hope you're feeling better! 

[GSPKurt]

Thanks, all. I am showing the good wishes to Donna right now. She is tough as concrete! She's hurtin' today, but will be up and around in no time.

[qt314nfla]

She's amazing.  I don't know how you did it.  I was right behind her when it happened.  Like a champ she got right on the quad and rode it.  Can't belive you didn't feel it.  You are one tough lady.  I'm so impressed.  I'll look forward to riding w/ y'all again when you get better.

Glad to hear she is OK, that was nasty looking but it didnt bother her at all, i was more worried about GSPKURT looked like it was hurting him worse.

GET WELL SOON. You sure are one tough cookie.

Hang in there Donna, as tuff as you are you'll be riding by saturday

I haven't met a bad person from the site yet, but saturday really showed me all of the good family we have here while Donna had her mishap. Thanks atvflorida.

Donna, wow, what a weekend!  Glad to hear that you are ok.  I can't imagine how you didn't feel that?  As you can see, you have a great group of people around you who jumped to get you out safely.  What a trooper you are.  Were you ever in the military?    Hope to see you on the next ride.   --Steve (The one who used to live in Indiana)

P.S. you can keep my ice pack as a souvenir    j/k LOL

I don't think I  got to meet you Donna, but glad you're doing o.k.  I'm curious, I think I hit the same tree/branch that she did.  About a mile before we stopped in that field to get Donna treatment, we were running through some long straight-aways in the woods.  Towards the end of one of the straight-aways there was a tree across the trail laying to the right, with a branch facing like a lance (i know there were a lot of downed trees, but i think this was the only one in the area she got injured).  I was running fairly fast, thought I had room but as I got closer I realized how little room there was.  I just ducked down as low as I could and hung on.  I ended up with a ripped jersey, a good bruise on my shoulder, and a big tear in my camelbak.  I think it's the same tree, and if she hadn't already broken the branch, it would have been me rather than her being hauled out.  Anyone know if this is the same spot?

[qt314nfla]

I was behind her and that sounds about like where the tree got her.  Glad you didn't get it too bad.  I think we need to go back and give that tree a punishin' for trying to abuse our family.

Gotta figure out how to rig a couple chainsaws to the front of the quad...keep em running the entire time and slice our own path   

Maybe we should put up a post in the pics section "Show your bruises"

[Grizzlygirl]

After the hurricanes last year we did bring chainsaws
Ask Jeff u only went 10' between down trees
