It sounds like you guys are on the road to a full recovery  :thumbup:
how bad did it scare her? poor thing she's probably never going to drive it again or at least not that fast.
Other than the broken ribs, internal bleeding,stress of it all... how was the helicopter ride? ;D
get well you two.

Glad you're both ok.  You'll be back in the boat as soon as you heal up....and you'll both be better drivers.

Holy cow... Well at least it's all healable injuries. Glad to hear your both doing okay now. This kind of stuff always worries me, that's why I want to get my girl very used to the boat. And yeah there is a lot of stuff to watch out for out there, even mote so with all those big a55 wakeboard boats.
