Good morning Hyenas! Well you say, aren't you supposed to be camping? Well yes!
Yesterday was a lovely day, kids had a great time riding mx. Some of our friends camped next to us. So after dinner Sue (one of our friends), DS and myself decide to take a bicycle ride.
I'm riding the new bike I got 1-1/2 years ago at Christmas. You may remember my big pink cruiser bike that I posted pictures of....well I have ridden it about 3 times total. I got it at Target and apparently they did not assemble it real well. Because at one point my handlebars went one way and the tire went the other way.
End result I crashed...BAD! So I ended up in the emergency room as a level 3 trauma. No Kidding! But I'm ok.
They were very worried that my cheek bone was broken, so did a cat scan and it turned out ok. They also thought the knee and hand might be broken, so did x-rays. But NOPE!. Everything is just scratched, contusions, etc.
My big toe on my right foot is scraped up, my knees are both bandages, both hands are wrapped up in gauze and bandages. But the worst part is my face. I have a gigantic black eye, my right cheek is totally swollen, so i can barely see out of that eye and I got five stitches on my chin.
So I'm guessing the bike won!!!!!!!!!!!
I look like Frankenstein, all I need are the little plugs on the side.
You know what though, LIFE HAPPENS! Boy they really tried to push the vicoden last night, but I kept telling them, no pain killers. They make me sick and I hate how they make you feel. Actually I feel sore all over, but not really bad thsi morning.
You know I almost always wear a helmet, but for some reason I didn't this time. Although the ER doctor said that a helmet wouldn't have made a difference or protected me from any of my injuries. although I'm thinking that I might get one of those bike helmets that looks like a mx helmet and is full face.
That is if I ever climb upon a bicycle again.
Oh and the best part, we start heading towards home (which was about an hour away) and stop at the ER in Longview. Which is the meth capital of the NW! People are just glaring at my DH in the ER...I look like I've been severely beaten and here he is wearing a wife beater shirt because it was hot and we had been camping.
My bicycle was still in the back of his truck, parked on the street in front of the ER. Do you think anybody would steal it? Nope, not a chance!
