almost died. thats right, died.
snowboarding class started out real nice, did 360's and turns down the mtns and took the test and did very well on it...CRAZY wind was goin on up there and they were blowin snow...
toward the end of free ski we were comin down orchard and i was at the very last hill on that trail and i was trying to turn and go down it straight and the wind pushed me a little and i was facin backward up the mountain. Seeing as i was at the top of a hill this was bad...and my heelside dug into the snow.
I flew backward and landed on my neck and then FLIPPED OVER IT. I heard it snap real loud and i'd smashed my head pretty good on the ground. So I lay there for a few minutes with the world spinnin all around and im just breathin hard and scared outta my mind and then i realize imin the middle of the hill where no one can see me so i scooted off to the side to sit for a little and collect myself.
I was so afraid i'd seriously hurt something. Snapping noises are bad. Dizziness and disorientation followed and neither of those are good things either. but at least i wasnt paralyzed.
so now my head hurts like a bitch...i god a huge headache that seems to be all over my head not in one side or spot, my neck is swellin up a lil and still makin tiny cracking noises when i turn it too far...and hurts to turn it more than a little...andn it hurts to chew and move my jaw...and im still a little out of it too...still a little freaked about it...
awesome.
ps. thank you charlie for the ibuprofen pills...<3
