Muenster Run, Sunday February 27th

Get better Malynn!!  Sorry to see you all banged up.

[alancb]

Get well soon, Malynn.  Will, we live relatively close by so don't hesitate to ask us if she needs something we can do.

[dallas2r]

Thanks everyone. She's situated in her room now and will most likely be there all week so if you get some free time, I'm sure she wouldn't mind a visit. Text messages are good too just to say hi.(msg me if you need her number) She'll be pretty bored having to sit still in bed the whole time, so anything y'all can do this week to help keep her spirits up will be a HUGE help right now. She's got her morphine clicker, but she's still in pain. No solid food for awhile and no liquids for at least another day until they're pretty sure she won't need to go into surgery.

Denton Regional
ICU room 10
Visiting hours = all day except for 6-8am and 6-8pm.

Thanks again for your help.

I missed this ride and was just now reading the thread. Instead of a enviously reading a glowing ride report and pics, I was shocked to read about Malynn's crash. I'm just glad to hear she is getting good care and doing well, and wish her a speedy and full recovery.

[CajunR]

Jesus... I'm glad it wasn't more serious.  Here's to a speedy recovery.  Thoughts and prayers being sent now. 

[RichD]

Oh shit!
I hope you heal up quick Malynn!!!

I'll do my best to pop in and say "Hi" in the next couple days!!!

just saw this;  very sorry to hear about it.  hope you're feeling as okay as can be expected.. and glad it's not any worse.  let bryna or i know if we can help out with anything, seriously.

I hope you have a speedy recovery, Malynn - I do not know if Milli and I will be able to make the designated visit times, but we will definitely try to send flowers or something for entertainment along. Several years ago I wrapped a car around a tree while out on a 'spirited jaunt' and suffered similar injuries (clavical, ribs, lung, etc). The healing process took time, and while it seemed difficult, it only required diligence and encouragement. Remind yourself that you will be OK, and that you can do it.     Milli and I will happily come entertain you or bring a meal AND entertainment when you are ready!

[Jester]

Sorry I had to miss the ride yesterday guys.  Malynn I'm really sorry this happened.  I hope that you take your time with the healing process and get well as soon as possible.  Things like this always make you think twice about throwing a leg back over the motorcycle again as there is such a fine line between the enjoyment we all get out of it and unfortunate events that can hurt friends and family that we are close to.  If you guys need anything, just yell.  Get well!

[dallas2r]

Quick update; this afternoon her vitals were starting to indicate that her spleen was bleeding too much so they decided to go ahead and remove it. She went into surgery just before 5 and should be out in an hour.

[dallas2r]

Out of surgery and everything went smoothly. No issues.

[CajunR]

Glad to hear the surgery went well.

[Cher]

Surgery is not good but I'm glad to hear it went well.  Does this lengthen or shorten her stay in the hospital?

[dallas2r]

Actually it will probably shorten it now that they don't have to monitor her spleen. Spinal Dr. will be in tomorrow to discuss her vertebrae fractures. The assumption right now is that she'll probably have a brace.

[fastwin]

Better a brace than spinal surgery. I hear that can be a bit tough. Well at least the spleen problem is resolved. Sorry for the spleen surgery but those are usually pretty straight forward and not too invasive. Hopefully that was the case here. I've had friends go through it OK. Hope she has a good spinal/neurosurgeon. Mine was a great mechanic but as a human being he sucked! Complete dick. Hope she fares much better than I did. Praying for a good night's sleep for her. But in ICU or any room they come in 24/7 just to wake you up to see if you were asleep!! Give her our best.
