...snip... I know I won't be able to with my friend who is taking me to my appointment as he is a man who rarely allows me to share these things in a serious or humble way. He will however make me laugh right through the whole morning, and see the lighter side of it all. He will be much appreciated for taking me there, and getting me home safely again...snip...

Saw the article on 3 News, his names not Matthew by any chance?

Hey HEY hay, op's that should'a bin, Ah never mind. Looking GOOD there katiepie.
Watched your TV appearance too. You truly are an inspiration. Take care tonight and look after yourself K.

[jafar]

It is nice to see that your recovery is progressing well

[tigertim20]

I some how missed this whole story, originally seeing the thread and assuming it was just a drawn out licence thread, but tonight I saw the news, and a conversation about katiepie on another forum.

I just wanted to say what a humbling story, and what a brave person it takes to go through the ordeal you did, and not give up.
Even more so that you plan to get back onto a motorcycle.

My thoughts are with you as your healing process continues,and I wish you all the best for a speedy recovery surrounded by, what this thread shows, is clearly alot of love and support.

If you make that south island trip eventually,maybe we will share a few corners one day.

Take care and be well.

Congrats. As a motorcyclist, trauma nurse and recipient of two c-spine surgeries (yeah,I'm daft too) take the time for rehab. It pays off. Go well.

Congrats K Bow. I wish I could have been more help but you always know where I am. Looking forward to your halo off party!

[Spearfish]

Almost, almost full circle- big step closer to that special plate of hers being mounted on a bike...would be cool if the plate was mounted using the bolts that connected her head to the halo?

The sound of the bolts being taken out though...arrrggg.

[sAsLEX]

Awesome news about the Halo and best of luck on the next step of recovery!

The sound of the bolts being taken out though...arrrggg.

I once was handed the screw driver to take the screws out of my jaw after it was wired shut post being broken... think the orthodontist was slightly sadist.

[cowpoos]

I don't know if this has already been covered or not...[bound to been]


I just read this really interesting article online about a welly biker that...who broke her neck a few months ago...been in halo traction and is desperate to get back on her bike.

How awesome is that....much better than the usual temporary NZder storys,etc media usually write.

Sort of the positive attitude New Zealander we need more of..talked to the media in a positive way..came across really well..much better than the usual crap we hear in the media.

Well done...who ever you are!!


Ps: someone needs to pass a message on if they know her...story said they where on a yamaha....you need a suzuki!!

[jaffaonajappa]

Your absolutely right cowpoos.

heres a thread recommended reading!
