Aasebø recovering after emergency surgery to treat brain bleed following Roubaix crash
Kamilla Aasebø (Uno-X Mobility) is back in her native Norway continuing to recover at a hospital in Oslo after undergoing a succesful emergency surgery to treat bleeding in her brain following a Paris-Roubaix crash.
The 19-year-old went down on the Orchies cobbles and broke her jaw and elbow in addition to suffering a brain bleed. Doctors did not initially expect her to require surgery, but the bleeding worsened and she ultimately underwent a procedure to treat the problem. She wrote on Instagram on Tuesday that she only remembers five of the ten days she spent in the Lille hospital where she was treated for the injury.
"The crash itself was not especially dramatic. I was simply very unlucky with the outcome," she wrote. "But once it became that serious, I’ve also been very lucky with how well things have gone." [Instagram]
