Marsha L. Taylor a McDonald manager was just released from the hospital after recovering from a bicycle accident four months ago. Marsha states, “I don’t remember much of what happen, I just remember waking up in the hospital.” She has a mild concussion, broken neck, six broken ribs, broken arm, and a broken pelvis. One of Marsha doctor’s said that, “It was a miracle that I wasn’t paralyzed.”
Her recovery got worse before it got better. When they first moved her into rehabilitation facility she developed complication. She comments that, “my doctors discovered I had some internal injuries that included my intestine, liver, and gall bladder.” Those complications moved me back to the hospital and turned my skin orange. My mother said that I looked like a Halloween pumpkin. She still has to go to rehabilitation three times a week.
Marsha has not lost her interest in bicycling. She said, “I would be out there right now, but can’t bicycle while being on crutches.” Take precautions when bicycling like wearing protective clothing and helmet.
