Bike Wreck.

Mar 14, 2005 14:09

Today I was taking a nice, ice-cold, ride to Melissa's work at 5:55 in the A.M., so she wouldn't have to ride home on her own. I crossed the street all kosher, then went to cut through the parking lot of Plaid Pantry, to let me ride through the dive through of Dairy Queen. This is a pretty standard for me to do because it takes less time than riding all the way around to the bike rack. This morning I should have thought about going a different way than normal though. To cut through the parking lot of Plaid Pantry I had to go behind a parked Dorito's truck, and when I came out the other side I was greeted by the front end of fast moving car in the parking lot. The car was comming on on a curve, so it smacked me over my handle bars. I flew around 10 to 15 feet straight forward. However far it was I know I had enough time to plan a roll tactict. I hit left hand first, rolled about four rotations, then stood up. My right shin has three pretty nasty looking cuts. My left knee and hip has some scrapes on it. (oh, and as a side note, when I origionally typed that I said my left shin, and my right knee - further proof that I don't know my left from my right). My left hand has a small circle cut out of it's upper palm. Other than this I'm just really sore. It feels like I've been flogged all along my left side, which took the initial blow. I've just been very thankful to have God let me get in so many accidents because it's given me so much pain tollerance and really fast reaction time. He payed for it though - I sooooooo messed up his lisence plate! Lol. Well I'm feeling sore, so I'm going to go lay down. I'm just happy that God kept me alive and in good condition. Prayer would be helpful.
