Argus takes its toll on the team

Published by yojules March 10th, 2008 in General

I’m sorry to have to tell you that poor Jeanette took a nasty fall off her bike while cycling the Argus yesterday. She landed up dazed and confused in Constantia hospital and is feeling pretty dreadful!

I’m happy to say that she hasn’t broken any bones. Her helmet was shattered, but her head is intact. Tracy took her home today with a dislocated shoulder, some torn ligaments, and horrible bruising, so she’ll be convalescing in Cape Town (ok - don’t drop your sympathy levels just because she’s there, ok……ok…….?!) for the next week.

An update from Jules: I’ve been keeping in touch with J over the past few days. She’s feeling grateful that her brain is still intact, but she’s feeling absolutely shocking. Ligament and muscle tearing can be an incredibly painful injury, and its really hard to keep your spirits up when even drinking a cup of coffee can be a painful thing! She’s off to the specialist on Friday for more input on her ligament injury, so we’ll know more then.

J, wishing you love and light! All the Avos send you love!

Hi J

I was so sad to hear about your accident because I know how much training and effort you put into preparing for the Argus. I hope that you recover quickly and I am just so glad you never did any severe damage. We look forward to seeing you back on the bike again soon!
