It could be worse

in

Nearly fell off my Vespa this morning. I was getting in the left hand lane when i hit one of those painted white lines in the road. The road was a bit and those paint lines are extremely slippery which led me to lose control of my bike. I prevented hitting the ground extending my leg to the pavement (bad idea). At the time i felt like it was broken. I sat on the side of the road in the largest amount of pain i've had in a long while. After about 5 minutes then i got the idea to call someone. Blazey or 911? 911 or Blazey? Blazey would freak out so i called 911 instead. I spoke with someone for about 8 seconds and just told them never mind and hung up. I think it was because i could move my leg and feet so i figured it wasn't broken therefor not emergency enough for 911.

Some fellas finally asked if i needed anything but i told them i was good and proceeded to get back on my bike and head down flushing to the office. I wasn't sure if i was going to the hospital or to work still. A few blocks down i realized i had to go to the emergency room ASAP and i would need my insurance card, which i didn't have. Now i pull over and call Blazey tell him to find out our insurane and meet me in front of the office in 5 mins.

Blazey meets me for the hand off of the bike and insurance info and i head to the hospital. I find out nothing is broken just maybe a tear or something.

I'm just hoping i'm good by wednesday.

ps: mom, they didn't give me powerful pills so don't worry. but i do have a bunch left over from my back so maybe you should...

The Vespa Monologues

I haven't figured out a way to tell bk how to attach a camera to my head and shoot some of the rides. I guess he was daring enough to kinda ride with one hand down the greene on the way home. I think he should go pick Mari up and have her hold the camera while riding with us.

This was after he took me to his first visit to the doctor in a few years. I could tell he was in pain as he rode since we almost fell over a few times while stopped at a light. Sucks that the doctor was extremely far away. We even had to take the BQE (another first) home. He figured it would be faster/less stops. oh, but the bumps must have KILLED him. He later said the thrill of being on the highway took his mind away from the shooting pain up his back, down his right arm and down his right leg.
