CHICAGO — Lana Batochir had been floating on an inflatable raft, enjoying the warm weather at Chicago’s swimmer-filled, party-friendly “Playpen.” Then a 37-foot yacht suddenly reversed, sucking her under.
Now the 34-year-old mother of two, whose feet were severed by the boat’s propeller, is scheduled to have both of her legs amputated.
“It still feels like a nightmare,” Batochir wrote on a GoFundMe page set up to help defray the costs of the months of hospital stays and rehab she anticipates.
