(no subject)
I'd rather just hide and not tell anyone about this until it's better. I know it's inevetable that I'll have to explain it at some point.
I got hit by a car(fuckin again) less then 2 blocks from my house. This happend about 3:00am Sat/Sun morning. I stopped at a 4 way stop, on Scotia @ Oak Park Blvd. Saw the other car. Knowing it's a 4 way I went through. Saw that he wasn't stopping So I floored it. My front end came up, and he clipped my rear tire. It threw the bike and me maybe 10 feet and it landed on my left leg. He was gone..just kept going.
I picked up the bike and saw that my pants were ripped. I thought my leg was broken.(it's not) I looked down on the ground and saw a nice dark pool and thought, "Oh fuckin great, major Oil leak". I noticed that some of the drops were red. Knowing that their are no red fluids in my bike realized it was my blood. I thought maybe I could just ride the bike home like in second gear(I was only 2 blocks). That didn't work. I got the bike out of the way and put it on the kickstand. I'd taken a few steps already picking up and moving the bike, so I thought maybe i could limp home. Nah, got like 5 steps and almost passed out. Crawled up on the grass in someones front yard and laid there.
My cell battery was dead so i couldn't call anyone. I tried Flagging down about 4-5 cars but noone stopped. I thought maybe that was it. I could feel the blood pooring down my leg. I laied there at least 45 mins. I honestly resigned myself to dying, so I closed my eyes and put my head down.
The ants and whatever small bugs were crawling on my head and face were really annoying the piss out of me though. Eventually the police and ambulance showed up. The Paramedics just happend to be 2 ladies that i knew from Back when I worked at 7-11 over 10 years ago in Grand Blanc. They used to hang out with me while waiting for calls.
I'm at my Parents house in Flint. Don't know for how long. On some strong Antibiotics(and pain meds). The laceration was quite severe. It's about 6 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch deep. It didn't damage the muscle but did scrape accross it. The chance for infection is quite high. If It gets infected there's a possibility of losing the leg. That Will NOT Happen!!!!!
So yeah, That's where I'm at.
and for the slightly morbid(all of us really)
pics of my leg
I just wish I had the pic from the trauma center before they put the stitches in.
