‘I’m going to ****’: Newlywed reveals horror moment wife suffers severe injuries after mower accident just weeks after wedding

A newlywed Aussie has recalled the horrific moment her wife said she thought she was going to **** after a gardening accident, which resulted in injuries so severe her leg will need to be amputated by doctors.

Megan McKee and Stephanie Pascoe married in mid-October in a glamorous wedding ceremony with their family and friends, having eloped just a few weeks earlier.

But their newlywed life took a shocking turn after Megan had an accident on a ride-on mower while gardening at their home in the NSW Hunter Region.

Megan suffered “severe” injuries to her leg when the mower went down an embankment.

Megan said she remembered just putting her foot down on the grass at the time of the accident – before neighbours and emergency services rushed to the scene.

Speaking to Yahoo News Australia, Stephanie recalled the moment her wife said: “I’m going to ****.”

“Looking at her injuries and the amount of blood that was coming out at that time, it probably wasn’t a far-fetched thought,” Stephanie told Yahoo News Australia.

“It almost sliced her entire foot off. It went between a second and third toe and then all the way down to the ankle.”

Stephanie said she was “so lucky” neighbours jumped into action to help Megan.

“I was just focused on trying to keep her calm,” she said.

Megan was flown to John Hunter Hospital and ******** in the care of doctors and hospital staff.

Sarah Chippindale, a marriage celebrant who married Megan and Stephanie, revealed in a GoFundMe that Megan would need to undergo surgery that would result in her leg being amputated.

“With extended hospital stays, surgeries, rehabilitation, and time away from work ahead, Megs and Steph face a challenging road,” Ms Chippendale said in the GoFundMe, set up to ease the pair’s financial burden.

“She will need a to buy a prosthetic leg as well as a lot of other medical equipment for around the home and hopefully with this funding we can make sure she that has the coolest new leg one on the market.”

As of Saturday, the GoFundMe has raised more than $23,000 of its $25,000 goal.

Ms Chippendale said the pair faced a difficult physical and emotional recovery ahead.

“Their lives have been completely changed,” she said.

“Everyday plans have been turned upside down – we were even supposed to spend time together this weekend at my place, just enjoying each other’s company.

“Now, that’s been replaced with a path Megs and Steph never could have imagined — a journey of resilience and adjustment.

“This time of healing will obviously demand their full focus, and financial burdens shouldn’t have to add to their worries.”
