"Just spoke with the rider, he's in good spirits all things considered.
Here's the break down of injuries:
He had to have his socket rebuilt around where the femur comes into the pelvis
5 breaks further down in the femur
4 broken ribs
1/2 collapsed lung
It was estimated he lost 3-4 pints of blood from internal bleeding and surgery. They were 10 mm short of bone after reconstructing the femur and left the rod exposed for future bone growth.
Today was the first day he was administered blood due to a fever he has had since Sunday. He was VERY happy to receive 2 pints today and get color back into his finger tips. He has been up a little with a walker getting use to walking again, but being up long take a toll on him due to lack of blood, but he was happy to eat solid foods today.
Tentatively scheduled for release back home for Friday unless the doctors decide to keep him longer. Crazy cat is already planning on the next bike and how far out it will be until he can throw a leg over."
