Give her a hug for me.

I lost 2 finger tips to a degloving injury. not a good day.
I cannot even begin to imagine what this poor girl has gone through.
Keep up the fight tyler one day at a time and congrats on getting that damn tube out that has to feel a whole lot better.

Having the tube out is a big step. It is sort of like a Strep Throat and you cannot even bitch about it. She will be able to talk, have her teeth brushed for real ( feels great) and soon drink fluids too.

So I get home late from a long pre- and post-CFR ride, I'm still a bit keyed up late in the evening so I get on to see all the posts I've been missing, maybe look at some northerly ride reports and pics and all, and . . . THIS! Shit!
All I've done is read this whole thread and most of the linked threads, Caring Bridge journals, guestbooks, whatever there is. I don't WANT to, you understand. Just HAVE to. Poor kid will be hurting for a long time, it sounds like, but like her sis said, at least, the head's ok, ditto the spine, etc. So there's always that silver lining. And you know Tyler's going to have a good attitude and fight the good fight and all, but still, like I said, SHIT.
Guess it's time to go to bed and try to send some love. Don't much feel like reading anything else on the forum tonight after all, turns out.

For the last month I have been out of the country and away from the forum. I'm soooo sorry to hear about this. My heart goes out to you Tyler!!! Get well soon!!

My thoughts and prayers are with Tyler and her family.
Just read all 11 - 11! - pages. This Tyler chick is something special, that is clear. And just when you think the world is full of assholes, you are presented with overwhelming evidence to the contrary - that it is instead full of good, caring people: 99 percent good people; 1 percent assholes. FJR people are the best.
Looks like Tyler is on her way to (a long, difficult) recovery, but that sure beats the alternative. She sounds tough as nails, but evidently has a big and soft heart.
Tyler, just keep in mind that things will get better...and better...and better. You will ride again. You will have the wind in your face, smell the world as you sail through it, see everything the cagers miss. You now have the ultimate riding story to tell (small compensation).
I ride Idaho a lot and would be honored to ride there (or anywhere) with you sometime.

Patriot, You might want to use quotes in your posts and possibly add the CaringBridge link after quoting Jamie's posts. Just a thought. I appreciate your efforts to keep everyone updated.Is this still the case, Jamie?

Here is the latest news about Tyler from the Caringbridge page.
"Posting this latest pic (with Cyn, from about an hour ago) to buoy those of you who were saddened by the picture I posted of Ty with Shan & Andrea. (Incidentally, Andrea said at the time she only poses for pictures with patients she knows are going to make it... ;-) How's this for a rally?!?
Our girl's doing terrific. She's already moved from a liquid diet to a whole food diet. (And is already critiquing the scrambled eggs. LOL) Her spirits are good, her fever is gone, her lungs are great and her legs ... well, that's going to take quite a bit more time. They're now realizing that the skin trauma is much more consistent with a crush injury from the wheels actually running over her legs, as opposed to a degloving. (That will mean more to you med personnel than to mere mortals like me. ;-) They're CT'ing her legs to further assess potential soft tissue damage, but the miraculous fact still is no broken bones. We suspect her bike cushioned or protected her legs somewhat by taking the brunt of the force of the truck wheels. Those of you on the riding forums, discuss amongst yourselves. ;-)
She has been amazed at just the initial information we've given her re: the outpouring of support from literally all corners of the world. She's off in CT land right now, but when she returns, I'll share more of the guest book postings with her. She got to talk to Shannon for the first time last night, and they both were so relieved to reconnect. We'll make that happen again today.
Waiting for word on her lift off for CA ("goin' back to Cali, Cali, Cali...") but it's sounding more & more that it will indeed be Santa Clara VMC, which delights those of us who live so nearby. Would be great for Shan to be able to roll up on her mom whenever she wanted...
That's all from lovely Boise for right now. More to come later. Take care.

Thanx Johnny80's
I emailed Jaime asking about Tyler's employer as many of us are curious who this gem of supporter of hers is. This is the email I received with the information.
Hi Mike,
I recognize you from your funny/supportive posts ... her employer is Litinomics & they provide financial expert services for litigation. (Exciting, huh?!) Here's their website: www.litinomics.com - her boss, Bruce McFarlane, is a gem... (but then, we already knew that, right?)
Take care,
Jaime

Just read this. Realized something had happened by MM2 and Wheaton's Sig lines but had no idea. Glad to hear the recovery is going well. Tyler, you are one lucky lady to have such great support and to get out of this situation so well. I'd send prayers (if I thought anyone was listening) but instead, I send my most sincere wishes for the best possible recovery and hope all goes well.

TYLER'S COMIN' HOME!!!
Just got word that we'll be flying out tomorrow morning for San Jose - the anticipated departure time is 10:00 a.m., which isn't necessarily hard and fast but a strong estimate. They'll then transport her from the airport to Santa Clara VMC by ambulance (I believe, will be double-checking on that tomorrow a.m.), which is widely regarded as one of the best skin trauma centers in the state. Given her state of awareness today, I expect she'll likely be awake & aware of what's going on during the transport to the hospital. Check the forums for escort info.
Dorothy & Jeff just got here & are visiting with her now. She's had another big day, but still plugging along. The CT showed that she's stable from the waist up (again, insert joke here) but surgery & further eval in Santa Clara, along with time, will tell more about her legs.
We're happy she's doing well & excited to get her back in California, where this long journey will continue... As always, thank you for your thoughts and prayers.
