Two days after a helicopter rescue from Piestewa Peak went viral when the basket began spinning uncontrollably, the 74-year-old woman is still feeling the effects, her husband said in a public Facebook post Thursday.

George Metro said his wife of almost 50 years, Kati, is still experiencing adverse effects from the spinning.

“As the husband of that 74-year-old woman, I can state that she was more then dizzy after her helicopter ride,” Metro said in the post.

In the post, Metro spoke of his wife’s terror during the airlift from the mountain after she was injured while hiking.

“She told me that she thought that she was going to die and that she tried to control her breathing because she felt that she was going to pass out,” Metro said in the post.

According to Metro, his wife still is recovering in the hospital, but her complications are far from nonexistent. Her face is black from the blood vessels that broke from the spinning and her arms and legs were also affected by the events.

Metro said that despite what happened, he is grateful to the Phoenix Fire Department rescue crews for helping rescue his wife, and hopes they will find a way to resolve the problem.

“I only hope that they can find a way to avoid this type of spinning in the future,” he said.

After the rescue, which was caught on video by local television stations, Phoenix fire officials held a press conference. Officials at the time said the woman had "no complications'' from the rescue stretcher spinning apart from mild dizziness.

She had suffered facial cuts, a nose injury, and a wrist and hip injury in a fall before being rescued, officials said.

"The Phoenix Fire Department takes great pride in delivering the highest level of care to every patient we treat," Capt. Rob McDade said Thursday.

McDade said Kati was "alert and speaking to rescuers," and received medication to treat nausea and dizziness.

McDade said that once Kati's care was transferred from the fire department to the hospital, "the Phoenix Fire Department has not received any updates on her condition from doctors."
