Hospital Update: staying positive and recovering after motorcycle accident 

Been riding 50+ years, I ALWAYS gear up, full face helmet, gloves, boots and riding jacket with armor, when I ride my klr, nobody questions it, but when I ride my Harley’s , everybody always questions it ? A bike is a bike. My motto is , if I wreck today, I wanna be able to ride tomorrow ! Good luck and GOD speed on your recovery ❤️‍🩹

Hi Sally.. Im Kent... July 18. I hit a deer on my motorcycle. Im home now in a wheelchair. Im 66 , been riding since i was 10. Never had a bad accident or broken any bones. I have a broken pelvis (front and back).. compound broken lower left leg. Fractured 2 ribs in my back right side and broken left hand. I spent 8 days in the hospital trama unit. 2 weeks in a nursing facility before i could go home. The first few days in the hospital were bad. PT helped me sit up in bed. The pain was almost unbearable. Every movement i paid for with pain... after a few days tho.. With a lot of help and learning to use a slide board i could get in/out of a wheelchair. I almost passed out that first time. Each day gets a little better. I measure progress in baby steps and less pain. I got moved to a nursing facility when i didn't need the level of care of the hospital. 2 weeks of PT. Getting good at getting in/out of the wheelchair OT getting in /out of the bathroom.. I got to go home. My wife is my angel. Im home with her and my 2 golden retrievers Its gonna be 3 months of zero use of my legs. Im lucky to be here, I feel the same as you. Our life changed in a couple of seconds. Its gonna be a long recovery. BUT we will Thats something to think about. My prayers go up for you....

I was T-boned 1 year ago. Gear absolutely saved my life. i was knocked unconscious with full face helmet on. 6 ribs, 3 vertebra, bruised spleen with armored jacket on. I landed on my head and left shoulder from what witnesses recount(I don't have memory from about 30 seconds before, till I was in the ambulance). I'm glad you're going to recover, and you have a strong support team behind you.

Hey Sally, my name is Paul and I live in england. I have followed for quite some time now.i wish you GODS speed in making a full recovery and wish ,with all off my heart, your recovery is swift. 👍♥️👍👍♥️👍

Devastating news. I hope and wish only the best for a speedy recovery. My wife was killed on her bike in '83 so I am glad you were much more fortunate. You and your hubby will be in my thoughts. It is and always will be a lifestyle with risk and sometimes by no fault of your own you reap the will of fate. Heal soon, heal quickly and be stronger in you determination, will and abilities. Be forever safe.

Get well soon Sally. 🙏

Sally, you're awesome. I love this new upbeat attitude. So glad you are doing well. Thanks for the update. Hang in there!

Hi Sally. Thank you so much for taking the time to keep us updated on your progress. I have been riding for a very long time and your attitude and spirit for the love of riding and wrenching is off the charts for me. I think I have now found my new Biker Idle.

I will continue to hold you in my prayers for recovery and pain relief and for Law Tigers vigorous pursuit of justice for you. Your husband is a keeper. I thank God for you both and for what y'all are doing for bikers.

sorry to hear about this. get well soon

Our state, Nebraska, just ended its helmet law. A helmet saved my life in my early 20s, and I've never rode without a full face helmet since. I'm 63 now. Good luck, and I hope you heal fast.

Great to see you full of positivity ! Wishing you a speedy recovery from England !❤

Speedy recovery Sally, sending love from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I'm so happy that my son also gear up the hole nine yards! I'm glad you safe🙏🙏🙏

glad to see you're doing better. hope you recover fully and quickly.

It's so weird how my favorite youtubers seem more like friends than strangers. This is the perfect example. I was instantly worried and saddened when I saw ur last video. Get better fast. I'm gonna go get a better helmet. My little fake one is going on the wall.

Love your positive attitude - it truly makes the difference! 10 years back I was in your place: concussion, 4 broken ribs and a punctured lung. The doctors and staff at UNC Hospitals were simply fantastic!! The barely-remembered helicopter ride was cool, too. Oh -and 100% on the helmet! Every doc that came by examined it closely as it was crushed badly -but better it than my skull. Thank you for your comprehensive updates! Keep getting better!!

Hey Sally! Thank God you are alive! Stay positive and I wish you only the best and much success. You will be in my prayers. God Bless. ❤

Man Sally , it’s tough to see you incapacitated in the hospital like that after seeing you be such a ball of energy , good vibes , and having so much love and passion for bikes and the biker community 😞😞 I am praying for you and your hubby for a full recovery mentally and physically and to see your channel grow like never before and I can tell you this , you are an inspiration to me and I’m sure many thousands of viewers , Thank You both for everything that you guys do God Bless🙏

Hey Sally...my better half and I wish you all the best and all the strength to get back up on twos and twisting that wick...our prayers are with you...

wishing you all the best , a speedy recovery and support to you and your family.

Get well soon, Sally! Love and support from Spain

Lots of love and healing vibes going your way , wishing you a quick recovery !

Wish you all the best in your healing Sally.

Iron Hip Sally I like it. I had no idea this had happened. Sally you are so full of positivity you can only but make an incredible recovery. I'm praying for your speedy recovery. Even in a hospital bed you glow, your beautiful vibrations are a tonic to the world. Love to you and your husband. XX

I had no idea. I saw your video and it took my breath away. At least you're still with us. Get better soon, pretty lady.

God bless you Sally, I pray for your swift recovery.

Words of wisdom from someone who has lived it. Sally I think you have convinced quite a few people to wear a full face helmet. We all ❤️you Sally you one tuff biker. It’s great you’re husband could be with you to keep your spirits up.😎Dave H

I'm so happy to see your ok!

I ride to work everyday and it’s only 2.5 miles away so I usually don’t wear a helmet. I will from now on. Things happen for a reason Sally. Your accident and testimony probably just saved many lives. For that…thank you sis. Get better.❤️‍🩹

Thank God you are alive. It amazes me that the law doesnt make people wear a helmet. But, will force you to wear a seat belt in a car. I have been a few accidents that was and wasnt my fault on a bike. The big one was when I woman pulled out in front of me on a 2 lane and I was doing 60 mph. There wasnt 20 feet between me and her. She made eye contact and slammed on the brakes. I hit the left front fender of her car and was catapulted off the bike and landed on my back, then my head hit and then my feet onto the road. Had a full faced helmet on. Paralyzed for 3 weeks. Got my hospital bills paid and 3500 for my 81 Sportster. Take care of yourself and get well soon.

Sally....Sending ya gooda thoughts for a full and speedy recovery for Melbin Australia

Sally, you're a survivor who gets love and respect. Prayers and love to you!

SENDING BIG LOVE N MANY PRAYERS TO YOU SALLY!!!

Get well soon. Best wishes from Ireland

I hope they caught the person who did that to you. God Bless and get well soon.

Didn't see that you had an accident. Sorry to hear that. Hope you have a speedy recovery.

From the looks of your helmet, you can legitimately keep the " Iron Head "moniker. Blessings on you and your family, stay positive, this too shall pass. You and your husband have proven your adaptiveness so I've no doubt you'll come out on top of this too. 👍✌️

Hope you are better!

Sorry to hear about your accident. I have watched your videos so much that I feel like you both are my friends. Best of luck with your recovery.

Im sorry you got hit, God's watching you and to your hubby being there for you. I'll be praying for you and your husband. Take care. God bless

Lost a good friend of mine a month ago today to a 76 yr old "left hand looser " So very thankful your still here with us Sally !! God speed on your recovery

So happy to see you're healing so well. Keep that positive attitude. I lost a friend over the weekend in a motorcycle accident. he was wearing a helmet and didn't make it. glad you are still around!

Good morning Ms Sally just noticed your blog. I hope you have a speedy recovery.

Just the fact that that million dollar grin was spared in the accident should be the best public service announcement for wearing a helmet! I'm not even riding or driving & seeing this slowed me down from rushing around taking care of business like a chicken with it's head cut off to sit back and be greatful a spell! You folks really turn things positive 🍋 lemon's into lemonade! More Prayers comming Your way 🙏 . Wishing You as speedy as a long recovery can be! Always enjoy the videos You Folks make, even this one despite the circumstances.

Sally, your positive outlook on your recovery, and life inspired me to do something i never do (leave a comment), you are definitely a good positive role model for your courage and determination and true-life words of wisdom, keep up the positive attitude and wish you a speedy recovery !!! you definitely have a good support system with your husband!!! take care and God bless!!!!!

Glad you're on the mend and want to keep riding.

So happy your ok

I have survived two serious crashes in my riding life. Thank the good Lord I was wearing a helmet each time. Just know you will probably have some PTSD to deal with when you start riding again. I certainly did. It is a slow recovery process and I will pray that everything goes well as your body heals and mends itself. I am thankful you have a loving husband who supports you one hundred percent in your life. I know you will do everything to keep getting stronger, it'll be tough, just grit your teeth and keep digging. You will overcome and get to the other side. Prayers for you and your husband!

So glad to see you doing so much better!! Cant wait to see you two again one day!

God bless you. I hope you get better soon.

Hang in there...Best wishes.

I wish you a full and speedy recovery!

Get well soon. A helmet has saved me in the past.

Thanks for the update Sally. Full face helmet saved my life twice. You didn't actually tell us the full story of what happened. An incident like this can really change ones outloook on life. Speedy recovery and please take us along on your journey to recover. Get well soon. Cheers from down under 🇦🇺 Stan.

Respect and god bless you both .. wish you back on your bike soon as .. take care from the uk

Get better soon

Wishing you all the best and a speedy recovery Sally!

Sadly I'm watching your uploads a little late... Your smile says it all, such a strength of character. All the best in your recovery. Sending peace and love to you and all your loved ones from the UK.. ❤

🇺🇸RIDE ON GIRL!👍 GODBLESS🙏

It's good to see you kicking around. I really admire your outlook. My thoughts and prayers are with you guys.

Great update! Been there done that, Love and prayers for you both, that first ride will be so exciting!

Sally, I think you're a very tough person physically and mentally. I'm glad you're on the road to recovery. I will continue to pray for you and your husband 🙏👍

🙏🙏🙏🙏 Hoping you are feeling better each and every day. Your outlook alone is an inspiration. You'll be stronger still on the other side. And also kudos for promoting helmets, I've been on my lid many times and am eternally grateful I was wearing one. Lastly, your "old man" is a gem. Blessings to you both!

Prayers! speedy recovery

Hi 👋 Sally, and hubby, so pleased to see you now moving around a little bit, It’s going to be a slow recovery, The main thing is, you are being well looked after, over the past two or three weeks I have seen a lot of people riding about in the countryside and on the motorway with With just a pair of shorts on , Yes, they got crash helmet on, I even left comment about this on somebody else’s channel, And somebody passed a remark saying they have the right to wear whatever they like, But they’re not the ones who got to pick up the pieces when you don’t come home, luckily for you Sally you have made it through and you will get better, I wish you all the love and support to you both from Phil France,

Look so much better already, all positive. Hope you are home soon. You have a great guy supporting you.

No helmet for years back in the old days.....Full face for the past 30 yrs and I will never look back. Glad to see your on the mend. Positive vibes.

Great to see You Sally👋🏼 Warm Regards from Ireland 🇮🇪 Wishing You Quick Recovery

You are awesome.

Glad to see the forward movement and healing Sally!!! I mentioned you in a couple videos and asked for prayers for you! The Roll'n w Tbone crew send you love and prayers for a speedy and FULL recovery!!!

Best wishes Sally, We hope you have a speedy and full recovery! 😟

My ex girlfriend wrecked her H-D many times over… She hired Russ Brown Motorcycle Attorney he has already helped her out. Wishing you and your loved ones a speedy recovery from motorcycle accident.

So glad you made it through. I had a severe accident in my younger years. When everything looked hopeless, I just kept looking ahead. Ended up going to AMI to learn more about Harleys, still was using a cane and had more operations to go, but I never looked back...just forward. Sometime a good "wake up call" is what we need to realize our priorities about life. Its about living, not chasing the dollar or keeping up with what other think about you. Its about you, your life, your loves and what the future brings. You will be all right girl. Just keep on being you and it will all work out. All the best to you guys.

Hi Sally, so sorry to hear about your Motorcycle accident and I am so glad you are ok in a way and your husband will be a great support & friends. Found your channel by chance on RU-vid, so I think I was meant to see this video as I ride as well. PS have a quick recovery and I will Subscribe, all the best from the UK.

Stay Positive!

Prayers for a speedy recovery

Hey Sally. So sad to hear about your experience. I am glad you are still here. Love and prayers from a thousand miles away in Australia. Get well soon. Noel.

We will be praying for you and your husband so glad you’re here. Love your videos.stay strong God is great.

Keep getting better. 😊

Super positive outlook, thanks.

Prayers sent for your recovery.

When I had mine, the hospital in georgia was super cool, instead of them telling me how dangerous bikes are and asking if I learned my lesson, they asked cool questions about riding, told me encouraging stories about other patients who recovered and got right back in the saddle, even loaned me a tablet so I could order my replacement parts and even signed my helmet...you are in my prayers and I promise it gets better and you will be back out there riding in no time.

Sorry you're going through this, glad you're alive and being treated well in the hospital.

Godspeed Sally 😊

Glad to see you making progress. You got the right attitude. Stay positive and grateful

So glad you’re getting better. I appreciate you calm and kindness

Hang in there, Sally. We love you. Get better soon.
