Erin is doing well

**Nazo** · 06-13-05, 08:33 AM

Erin wanted me to let you all know she is doing well (or as well as she can) and she appreciates the help from everyone in getting her bike, equipment and truck all back home.
I picked her up from the Concord hospital last night and she has a badly injured right knee. The x-rays don't show any breaks, so the MRI this week will reveal exactly what is wrong.
For now Erin is home taking it easy, the doctors hooked her up with some good pain meds

..Also has anyone seen her cell phone, it appears it was left at the track.
If so please let me know...I don't know when Erin will be online, maybe not for a day or two.

It looks like someone needs some Boston Market and Everclear. That makes everything better.

Heal up quick!!

Speedy recovery, you're in our thoughts.

Erin, glad to hear you're doin alright... i'll tell ya, when the leaders came by in 3 & you were no where to be found for another 30 seconds or so & i hear "red flag red flag" my stomach just dropped... Heath & I rode nut to butt over to 1 & saw Dan waving us over frantically... and then i see you lying in 1a on the grass w/ the EMT's hangin over ya? talk about a bomb drop. I'm just glad it wasn't worse & you'll be alright given some time.

remember there's PLENTY of people here like myself that are just minutes away from ya & willing to help you out with absolutely anything you can think of, no questions asked so don't make Nazo work TOO hard

Heal up quick, bud. Hope we can hear from ya soon.

Erin, I left you a voice mail, but now I see you have no cell phone!

This is bad news.. Sorry to hear or your let off Erin. I would have been crazy if I was at the track to see you like that, as I am sure everyone that was there reacted. You never want to see a friend get hurt. Speedy recovery

Be sure to let me know If you need help, I will do anything to give you a hand. Or just company, I'll visit with ya anytime.

What was up with this weekends events? Was the heat the factor in all these crashes? With Degs, and Jay we think it was the combination of the tires and the heat. Dehydration was also a possibilty in other crashes seeing how hot and humid it was..

Everyone else have let off's in the group?

**Jaynnus** · 06-13-05, 11:30 AM

Speedy recovery Erin!!

If you need anything...just shout!

**Half Squid** · 06-13-05, 01:25 PM

Erin is in good spirits, I spoke with her a little while ago. Another rider took her out in T1 .. Nothing broken but the MRI will feed back the details of what is wrong... She will probably be on crutches for a little while..

ouchy. glad I am only getting to this now that the details are in. did the other rider go down too or did he just kinda push her out? Seemed to be a lot of pushing goin on this weekend. Too many people not keeping hydrated and acting like fools out there cause they weren't with it....

Get well quickly Erin. At least it wasn't something with the bike that I helped her with - I woulda felt REALLY bad if it was my fault....

Erin was the only one to go down in the incident

yikes. Heal up E.

Thanks everyone for the support. Here's what I think was happened, (and inspection of the leathers somewhat confirms):

All I really remember was going into one, pretty comfortable - like I didn't feel like I was taking any crazy lines or anything - turn one's pretty straight forward. Then, I just remember seeing a liiiiiittttttle bit of green, feeling like I got hit by a freight train, thinking in my head "Not Good!", then being on the ground, slightly on my left side, with my bike on top of my legs, pretty much around the kneecap area. God knows I was used to getting passed, so I don't think I freaked out or anything when he was passing me; I can't believe he didn't go down - it felt like he just went into me with his shoulder or something. Highside city baby. The impact on the helmet is on the bottom of the back of my head, and my leather uppers are torn on the back. The legs were torn at the stretchy part on the knee, and the gloves were absolutely anihallated. BIG THANKS TO HEATH for letting me use his back protector. Since I landed flat on my back, I would have been super screwed if I didn't have one on. Also, I HIGHLY recommend spending the extra money for those Held gloves. Pretty damned pricey, but I don't have a scratch on me, and they really were totally shredded. We'll see after an MRI what's really going on, but I'm hoping for the best.

Thanks again to everyone, and hopefully I'll see you all out there again soon.

**scootertrash** · 06-14-05, 04:40 AM

Glad to hear you are (relatively) OK...

**darkchylde51** · 06-14-05, 05:29 AM

...oh, one good thing came out of the 2nd race for me that day... I gained 4 seconds on my lap time.

Glad to hear your in good spirits, hope all goes well with the MRI.

You had a lot of people nervous on Sunday waiting to hear about your condition.

yeah, sorry about that. I couldn't get to a computer until this morning when I got back to work...
My computer at home has cooties, so the internet stages a coup every time I tried to use it. I gave up and use the thing as a paperweight now, since I'm always at work.

Man, I'm having a hell of a time communicating with people at work with a head full of Vic's. Eh too bad for them, I guess.

Watch porn. That'll clear your head!

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

Don't forget to save a few meds if you can, for the end of the year racer's party.

Erin is doing well
