Physics Girl was hit by an SUV on the way home from campus yesterday. So far it looks like most of the damage is the jaw and lower face, no serious cranial swelling or internal bleeding, no broken limbs. Shes alive, and awake, because of the bike helmet.
She was hit hard enough that her bike frame actually came apart and she was thrown across the intersection onto the sidewalk. About 30 feet I guess. When the paramedics got there she was trying to pick up all of her teeth from the street. She says everything hurt whether she was lying still or moving, so she might as well do something. Shes in hospital with her mother now. Apparently its going to be a while before the swelling subsides enough to get a better look at the jaw. So its going to be a week or so before the oral surgeon gets to work. Waiting to hear back on her status before heading back up to the hospital. Its possible theyll release her to home care in the next day or two. Not much else I guess.
