Becky told (actually retold) the story of when she got hit by a tram the
first night of the feeds. It was the quite the story which is detailed in
the article below. When she was telling the story on the feeds I was
surprised she survived. Very freakish sounding accident. If you have the
feeds the Flashback time is 6/25/2015 9:35 PM Cam 3. The article below has a
ton of screen shots of Becky telling the story which are worth looking at.
She was very animated when telling the story.
Her story about how she got her boobs is also good. I was paying too much
attention to it and forgot to write down the time. If I find it I'll post it
because it's a funny story. And definitely not what you'd expect!

The Story About Becky and Her Injury #BB17
Like you, I've heard the chatter about Becky saying that she was "hit in the
face by a train". At first, I thought this was going to be a similar
situation to last year's story of Victoria being carried off by a crow.
But Becky is no Victoria, so I flashed back on the live feeds to get the
scoop. A group of house guests were sitting in the kitchen, playing "Never
Have I Ever" and someone joked about breaking a bone. Becky kind of
chuckled about that, and then Shelli jumped in to help.
Shelli: She got hit in the face by a train. Don't you all remember that?
She told us that story....
(Apparently Becky told the group before the feeds went live, a simpler time
when they could say a lot of things without fear of retribution.)
Becky: I can talk about it now, but not the name of it (the train) or the
location.
People start settling in to listen. It's going to be a good story, and they
know it.
Here are the details, from Becky herself.
* She was walking to work on a snowy February morning (2014) at about 6:00
am. She says she was really hit in the face by a "street tram", not a
train. (I immediately knew that Becky got hit in Germany, where she was
working at the time. Jackie remembered hearing Becky's story, and told Jeff
that they both rode on that train, but she can't say where it was. Jackie
and Jeff were in Germany for TAR, so there you have it. I've not been to
Germany, but elsewhere in Europe I've seen those street trams. They are
very modern-looking and quiet, and the tracks are usually incorporated right
into the streets, along popular routes.)
* Becky was wearing a fur hood, and was hurrying along to get to work so
she could get out of the cold. She says she had no alcohol in her system,
no drugs, and was not wearing earbuds with a phone or an iPod...nothing like
that.
(Once again, this is another Jennifer Garner moment for Becky. At least for
me, that is.)
* Becky was walking along a "skinny sidewalk", and there was a big van
blocking the sidewalk in order to deliver a piano. Becky stuck her head out
about six inches to look for traffic before stepping out into the street,
and the tram was going by and hit her right in the face. That's the last
thing Becky remembered before waking up in Critical Care, where she stayed
for three days.
Becky is very animated telling the story, and has everyone's attention, of
course.
* A few of Becky's teeth on the top right fell out, and I think she said
they went through her skin. She had to have her top lip "sewn back on" and
she broke her nose.
* She also had a fractured skull. When the tram hit her, her body flew 15
feet in the air, and when she landed she broke her wrist (the left one?) and
also her leg and part of her feet (?).
* Becky says that during the period in Critical Care, she just assumed that
she would never be pretty again, but was more worried about brain injuries.
She was more concerned with having a normal life, and the part of her brain
that was damaged in the frontal lobe is the part that determines
personality. There were two doctors who disagreed over treatment---one of
them was worried about brain swelling and bacteria, and wanted to operate.
The other didn't want to do that, and Becky is glad her family listened to
that doctor, because now she is virtually back to normal.
Becky: It's funny. I gave up on being pretty right away. I thought, I've
been pretty my whole life...I'd rather be able to speak and think. It was
just like choosing a different sandwich for lunch...it was that easy for
me.
* They are all amazed by the fact that Becky has had no plastic surgery.
She says her nose, teeth and face still look exactly the same after the
emergency surgery. (I'm assuming she did have dental surgery, though.)
* She says she is very lucky she didn't have her head turned, because if
the train had hit her on the side of the head the outcome would have been
much worse. Getting hit in the face where she did was one of the best
options.
* She still has pending legal issues, however, which limit what she can
say. (If she's getting a settlement from the tram company or even the city,
though, she will likely never be able to talk about the specifics publicly.)
Becky: So that's why I've said that I've been in a slump for the last 18
months....just sitting around and not working or anything. That's how I got
fit...working out so much.
Liz: So, I guess you didn't make it to work that day!
Everyone laughed.
Becky: No! I was like, there's been a train accident....I won't be there
today....

other things.
