Have you ever crashed a motorcycle/scooter into a tree or something? How long did it take to recover?

Question

My mom crashed her scooter into a tree and we are going on a trip out of the country this weekend...What do you think? Not looking for medical stuff, just suggestions.

She's doing better, she got out of the hospital today and she is still pretty messed up. Having trouble walking, moving her arms, and she's groggy and her head hurts.

She crashed the scooter into the tree, hit her head on the tree, bounced off and flew onto her side, though that's what we think happened. No one was there and she doesn't remember.

We are going to Amsterdam and then onto a cruise on Wednesday. The cruise should be good because she can hang out on the ship. But walking around Amsterdam I know will be tough, but what about the plane ride?

Pretty much my question is, do you think she will be pretty much better by Saturday? (Today being Tuesday)

Answer 1

The last time I actually saw a person crash their motorcycle into a tree, he died.  He was riding a Honda Gullwing, went into a corner too hot, lost control and broadsided the tree.  It was instant.  Your mom is VERY LUCKY to be alive.  Good luck...

Answer 2

those dam trees jump out right in front of you,especially the old ones

what was she doing,talking on her cell phone?

Answer 3

She'll probably be much improved, but you may want to take a lot of photos, so she can see what she "missed".

Answer 4

Im not over it thats why im here answering questions

Answer 5

she'll probably will be OK. she went to the doctor and they said what?????

she probably has a concussion, and some serious bruising going on.... she won't want to walk around or be around and thing loud or fast for a while.... but i think she'll be OK as long as she didn't' break anything.... she'll just be a little slower.

go easy on her. give her some sleeping meds for the plane ride. she'll be OK.

I crashed a vmax head on into a truck.... got up and waked away from it.... but pulled a ton of muscles..... it was worse than had i broke bones...... It took my a couple of months to be normal again.... i think she'll be ok, just go slow and easy....

Answer 6

There are so many weights and factors that you need to take into account it's impossible to diagnose this question.

Was she wearing gear? I wear all gear including a back and chest protective vest.

How old is she?

How fast?

it goes on...
