My partners wife is a County Deputy. 2 nights ago she rolled her patrol car and was ejected. Broken neck, ribs, collapsed lung. For those so inclined, any good thoughts or prayers would be appreciated. Shes only 36 and a tough girl, I'm sure she'll make it, but it never hurts to have a little help. Thanks.
Best wishes for sure. Ejected? Was she wearing a seat belt? Not criticizing, just curious.
Been thru a few of those kinds of mishaps myself, Hope all is well with her, and a speedy recovery.

Bret, We will be praying for your partner's wife's full and speedy recovery. Can we ask her name? (First name only, not prying.) Thanks, Bill and Fran

Mary. Still not sure on the belt, if she wasn't I sure wish she had been.
YOU BET--thoughts and prayers from our house to Mary's.

Prayers sent...they do work.

Brett, my best hopes go to her. It sounds as though this was in the line of duty, and we all should give our greatest support, and to all those working to keep us safe.
Well, must be the prayers are working. They got her off the resperator, although she still has all sorts of tubes running down her throat. 11 broken ribs. I understand women only have 12 or 13 to start with. The neck appears to be a "minor" fracture. The lung is coming along. She's out of the induced coma and aware of whats happening, all her parts seem to work.
My partner, Dan, says yesterday after she woke up she kept pointing to her ear. Apparently it's difficult for her to move her hands and arms due the tubes, soreness, etc. So Dan starts playing the guessing game. "Does your ear itch?, does it hurt?, do you have a headache?" Well, they had an ear piece for the radio in her ear. Finally after playing 20 questions she speaks around the tubes and says, "CHANGE THE STATION ***hole!". Dan turned to the Doc's in the room and says, "SHE YELLED AT ME!!! SHE"S OK!!!!"
Sounds to me like the lady is WELL on the road to a full recovery!! God Bless and best wishes for a complete turnaround.
Lead.
Don't know how I missed this one.......
.......but of course our prayers go out to Mary and your partner. Sounds like she's progressing just fine. Gotta say that after an entire day of listening to a motorola squawking in the car the last thing I'd want to wake up to would be an FM radio station playing any kind of music!
God Bless her and still praying for her continued speedy recovery.

I HEAR THAT, Dutch. We have a couple admin types that listen to scanners in their off-time, and I cannot think of a thing I would have liked to hear LESS than that stuff at home.
GREAT story, Bret! If I regained consciousness with rap music playing in my ear, I'd just figure that such was the muzak piped into Purgatory's waiting room--and die right there--not greatly surprised at the disposition, either.

FYI Both males and females have the same number of ribs, 12 pair for a total of 24. Seven pairs of true ribs connected directly to the sternum, Five pairs of false ribs not directly attached to the sternum including the two pair of floating ribs.Originally Posted by Tpr. Bret

Just picking brains, mines worn out.
I didn't know that, took the old story for true. Can't fool you guys in medical school!
Figures. Just when I had come up with a plan to start checking womens ribs. Purely for scientific purposes of course.......
HEr chest tube came out today, and with any luck they'll transport her home tomorrow. Thanks to all for the thoughts and prayers. Bret
Bret, Thanks for the updates Gianni.

Tougher 'n boiled owl, as we say in the mountains. That's much too young to be checking out, glad she's on the mend.
Bret, a stroke of pure genius on the rib counting bit, if I put on my very best vacant look, I might even get away with it.....
Born OK the first time.
Just a quick update- Mary's home and doing well. 11 ribs, 2 breaks in the neck and the 1 completely collasped lung, the other lung "sorta" collapsed as I understand it. We figure the passenger side window broke oout before she went through it, saved her face. No belt , she'd just left a complaint and was reaching for it when she swerved to avoid a deer and that was how thwe accident hapened. She should have had it on, but thats between her and her boss, who's not pleased. At least she's home and alive. The odds catch up with you the more miles you put on.
Thanks to all for the kind thoughts and prayers. You guys are the greatest!
