Dokter Clemens Spiekermann fears its the end of her career...
https://www.tag24.de/nachrichten/sac...nrad-dm-688448 Spiekermann, her team manager but also a doctor for 40 years, is quoted saying that chances are very slim that Kristina will ever get on her bike again. Last edited by Ruimteaapje; 07-20-2018 at 01:03 PM. |

At this point given the radio silence, I'd be happy to hear she can walk again, much less race or ride.

My thoughts EXACTLY. Screw the bike. I want to hear she isn't paralyzed.

Its probably still a bit early to tell. I severely contused my spinal cord at c4 in a m/c accident in 2010. I was completely quadriplegic for 2-3 weeks and it took several months of pt before I could walk. Got back on a bike a year or so later, can now ride normally.
The radio silence is disturbing, but its better than knowing for sure that she doesn't have the prospect of a full recovery. |

Thanks for the encouragement glepore! You are/were very brave.
I think Kristina is really wonderful, as a fan, and hope she will make a fast and full recovery too. All the best Kristina! |

Thanks, but bravery had nothing to do with it. Stupidity got me there. Luckily I was reasonably fit from a lifetime of cycling, and was able to recover fairly quickly. PT is hard work, but when you get a glimpse of a future of immobility, your animal brain takes over and you'll do what needs to be done.

Unfortunately rather bad news...
Headline from an article in "Der Spiegel": "Kristina Vogel about being paraplegic: 'Excuse me. I am actually not crying.' Kristina Vogel, 27, talks for the first time about her tragic accident two months ago - and why it makes no sense to ask yourself 'Why me?'". Unfortunately, the rest of the article requires a paid subscription but based on the headline it sounds like she's trying to make the best out of it. |
