That's a busy couple of days.

Our friend had little experience on a sled. She had rode when she was younger but nothing recently. Everything was going great till we stopped for gas. After we put in gas, she went to head back to the trail and when her sled hit the street pavement there was no snow on the street and her carbides wouldn't bite in of course. She then panicked and pinned the throttle. She launched across the street into a parked car. When she flew off the sled her leg caught the brake fluid housing on the handlebar and it tore open her leg severing her femoral vein. She nearly bled out on the street. She lost six units of blood laying there. She was airlifted out. She also had a fracture in her lower back and messed her thumb up as well. Her leg has not been healing well and has had close to a dozen surgeries so far with more to come including one tomorrow. There is a lot more I could tell and expalin about her injuries but I would be typing forever. That is the jist of it anyway.
