DLV FoS #1 Jenny "Hardcore" Walsh status

During Saturday's FoS Women's 30 Lap Points Race there was a pretty bad accident.

Short Verison:
Jenny(spiffyk) has a broken elbow, 10+ stitches in her hand and 12 stitches dangerously close to her right eye.
A woman from Asheville, we dont know her name, also went to the hospital with potential serious neck, back and pelvis injuries. We don't know her current status, if you do please post.

Long Verison:
Between turns 3 and 4 on the steepest part of the velodrome, a rider from Asheville came down across the front wheel of local rider Amy Lang. Amy had another rider directly below her, ie to her left, so she knew she couldn't avoid the situation and was gonna get hit and go down. If you scroll through the photos from CK you'll see a post-accident photo of Amy's wheel where there her spokes were cut and sections of up to 1+ inch are missing. This was just the beginning.

So the riders directly behind this chaos did what they could to avoid the crash and most escaped with just scraps, bumps, bruises and even ant bites after sliding down to the apron. In Jenny's case she went high, which you are supposed to do, but had so much speed, 25+mph, and another rider in front of her also going high that she had a direct hit on the outside retaining wall. Apparently her right hand hit the railing first, then her face, then her sunglasses and then her helmet. Witnesses said once she hit the wall, she slid along it for about 5 feet and then slide down the concrete bank onto the apron.

Everybody, except the woman noted above could walk away from the accident, but Jenny was the only one with quite abit of blood from where her sunglasses broke and then dug into her face and a deep cut on her right hand. Thankfully it looked much worse than it was and the plastic surgeon that Crawford Long called in was able to sew up the muscles underneath the eye and then her skin in such a way so she'll never have to go by the name Jenny "bar fight" Walsh.

So that's the situation, going to doctors this week to see about possible surgery on the elbow, etc. But other than that she's doing pretty well and was able to use chopsticks with just her left hand.
