Swerve - Crunch - Bang - Slide - Ow

I never made it to work this morning, as a stupid fuck driving a flatbed truck made an illegal left turn from the right lane through me and my bike. My right leg is fucked up where his bumper hit me, but miraculously not broken. Some minor road rash through the jeans (still whole) and the heavy leather jacket (somewhat damaged, but still in one

That sucks. Of course, now the GTO is probably looking even better. :\

Anyway, best wishes for a speedy convalescence, and thank goodness you weren't seriously hurt. Likewise that you had a witness who could give a statement.

Unfortunately, this probably makes the GTO impossible; there is no way I could test drive a 6-speed right now, and the 0% offer is only good through Friday. Probably for the best, actually, the GTO would be an incredibly impractical vehicle for me right now.

Thanks,

Really, the problem was not that they sent me home so soon, but that they did not send me home. They simply pointed me to the door, where I found myself outside in the circle that ambulances approach the hospital through. *sigh*

Thanks,

ack! stupid truck! bad truck!

i see assholes do that sort of thing every day, and i can't figure out how they don't hurt someone or don't get caught. guess now i know.

hope there's no hidden damage. eat some chocolate.

[volta]

Indeed. I have been munching on Dark Chocolate covered almonds since I got home.

Thanks,

Ack! Please take care of yourself... go see your regular doctor if you have one -- doesn't sound like the ER did much more than check for major trauma. *hugs*

I'm glad you're okay.

The ED check was pretty much just 'is anything broken'. I got to listen to a half-hour lecture from the nurse on 'donor-bikes' too. For now I am just icing it off and on. If it is worse in the AM, I will see about finding a doctor to be my regular doctor.

Even if it's not worse in the morning, you should have someone take a closer look at it. You don't want long-term muscle, ligament, or nerve damage because of this accident.

OMG!

i am so glad you are OK, if sore, but not broken and not seriously hurt. christ on a pogo stick!

lissen, if you need anything (food, trip to the store, DVD run :) lemme know. i have a bit more flexible schedule this year and do things like, help my friends when they have shitty things going on.

*giant (gentle) hug*

Thanks.

For now, I think I am just going to sit on the floor with my leg up on pillows, and play playstation until my eyes fall out of my head. :)

[nex0s]
