Hi All - thanks for the concern. As you prob all know - our dear wee katie pie had an off in the Rapa on Sunday. Unfotunately the injuries etc meant she was not in a position to work out where she was. After spending five hours lying injured, off the road, she was found by emergency services at 9.30 and choppered to wellington hospital. She has a broken back, broken neck, broken arm AND broken leg, and a glorious case of gravel rash taking most of the skin of her broken leg.
BUT - you all know our mate well - her spirit is not broken. She will make a full recovery albiet a long slow one. She is known for her patience, so she will survive the recovery, cos she sure as hell survived a horrendous crash.
I spent most of monday at hospital with her and her moments of lucidity were filled with comments about the gorgeous surgeon who operated on her!!
Katie is still pretty out of it, dealing with injuries and a lot of pain. Praise the lord for morphine.
If any other details are required please feel free to pm me and i will reply where appropriate, and will be passing on all your messages of concern.

Yeah bad buzz. And for sure...morphine is quite good. But hospital food sucks arse. Luckily, the morphine fucks your appetite. A very small lining in an otherwise pretty dark cloud. Heal up soon KP!

WHAT?! Nooo. I was just reading how great she was finding her new bike, and now I hear about this. Poor gal, sounds like the worst crash I've heard of, lying for 5 hours with all those injuries! That's shit like you see on "Why I shouldn't Be Alive". Give her my best wishes, I'll be thinking of her.

She's such a fussy eater that it'd be the only way they'd get their slush into her anyway!

After spending five hours lying injured, off the road

Ah fuckit, I probably passed her.

Give her my best eh?

[Oblivion]

Luck must love her at the moment. After lying there for 5 hours most people would think that the worst would have happened. Good on ya Katie for sticking to your guns

Best wishes for a speedy recovery. The guys and girls here at KB are all here behind you so don't be afraid to call out for help when you need it.

[John_H]

I saw her today and she is well. Asleep on the dope most of the time but OK otherwise. It's a bit frightening seeing her in one of those head braces attached to her skull. I think she will face a fairly lengthy recovery.

[blackdog]

God must have something very special planned for you katie, so hang in there babe we need you.

Faark I read this on the xtra news this morning , never thought it was a kb'r.


A dazed and seriously injured woman used her dying cellphone to aid rescuers' frantic search for her after she crashed her motorbike and had no idea where she was.

The 26-year-old crashed her 600cc Yamaha near Carterton, fell three metres down a bank, hit a barbed wire fence and landed in grass.

She called an ambulance at 7.40pm on Sunday, an hour after she crashed, Constable Jill Flower of Carterton police said. "She may have been confused, she didn't know where she was, and there was quite an impact," she told The Dominion Post.

Her call sparked a search involving police, fire crews, ambulance and the Westpac rescue helicopter.

Carterton fire chief Wayne Robinson said the rescue was a race against time as light faded.

The woman talked to ambulance staff on her phone, then by text, as her battery ran low.

New information about the woman's route led to the biggest breakthrough.

At first rescuers were told she was heading towards Carterton, from Gladstone, but they were later told she might have been riding to Greytown, Mr Robinson said.

The woman was found at 9.15pm and was flown to Wellington Hospital with a deep cut on her leg, and serious neck and back injuries.

The woman, understood to be from Upper Hutt, had surgery at Wellington Hospital yesterday.

Good luck Girl.

[White trash]

Went and saw her yesterday too and had a funny conversation with her. Typical Katie, more worried about the dogs than herself so after me and Drew had done a few wheelies in the two person/one fat person wheelschair, went and fed the pooches.

Hang in there luv, alot of people are here for ya and thinking for ya.

That shit'll buff right out.
