POCATELLO — Andrea Hatch’s right leg was badly injured in an accident on July 2 when the motorcycle she was riding was hit by a car on Yellowstone Avenue in Chubbuck.

Just last week, her doctor at the University of Utah Medical Center told the 32-year-old medical assistant that he is becoming optimistic that she may not lose the leg.

“It’s always in the back of my mind,” Hatch said of the possibility she could still lose her leg. “If I even get an infection, I could still lose my leg.”

An athlete as a youth, who played basketball and volleyball at North Gem High School, and an avid runner in recent years, Hatch is hoping her recovery will one day allow her to enjoy those activities again. But she says if all she gets back is enough strength and stability to walk on the leg again, she will be happy with that.

“I can’t wait for the day I can walk again,” she said.
