After a few minutes of rest she rode the last 8mi home, broken tailbone and all.
Pretty damn frustrating.
When I was 11 yrs old, my friends and I were playing around at a construction site. Long story short: something bad happened, I was hurt, we all knew we'd get in trouble if our parents knew what we'd been doing...So they put me on my bike, gave me a push, and I rode the three blocks back to my house -- with terrific difficulty and pain.
The next day, still in great pain, my mom took me to the doctor. Turned out I had broken my hip.
