Moped vs Bus, Bridgee's Rehab

Hello darlings,

As many of you know now, on Friday 7th of June I was riding a moped on Magnetic Island, and travelling around a windy uphill road where I lost control around a turn and had a head-on a collision with an oncoming bus.

I was knocked unconscious and busted up pretty badly, and then airlifted to Townsville hospital with my snapped and twisted leg (three bone breaks in the left leg, which has been repaired with a pole and large screws) a broken elbow and three fractures in my head including eye socket, nasal cavity and base of my skull, and a concussion/head trauma. I was lucky that two of the hospitals doctors were on the bus I'd crashed into and were able to assist immediately!

I am so so grateful for those of you who have/ have wanted to send flowers and gifts, but I don't need any more treats now and if you do have a couple of fives or tenners to spare, I would love to put it towards my supports and rehabilitation.

We are not covered by TAC/road insurance in QLD and there is going to be a lot of out of pockets and loss of income as I'm a contracted counsellor and have no payed leave while I recover, which is going to take months. I have been referred for ongoing rehab from both an orthopaedic standpoint as well as brain injury rehabilitation.

I expect to eat a fair bit into my savings to navigate this and I've been lucky enough to have had good work lately to help me survive a setback like this, but if you do want to help me out, I'd be so grateful for any extra help to navigate some of these costs and take the burden off my generous partner and family a bit. But please please only chip-in in lieu of flowers and do not contribute if it is a stretch for you at all! Anything that is put together will so gratefully be put towards rehab and equipment, accommodation/transport for my support people, transfers back to Vic, handicap items and clothing to accommodate my injuries and maybe even some of my other bills/medical expenses that may build up over this time, and some extra psych and support.

Thank you so much again for all of the love and support, it is helping me kick ass at my physio and therapies and stay positive about recovering, and I appreciate you all so very much xxx
