So I was heading to work Monday morning about 0645, when I come to a pretty busy intersection. The light was red so I am down shifting and slowing down for the light, not rasing ****** just piloting the pony like I was a good driver. The light turns green befor I stop, I look down I am going aobut 25 MPH or so, so I throw the bike in 2nd gear and slowley give it some gas. Here is where everything goes WRONG!!!! All of a sudden the back tire is spinning and the bike starts to fish tail. It is geting pretty violent by the time I figure out whats going on. So I tink to my self "Matt look for something soft" I lay the bike onto its right side heading toward the grass. In theory it was a good plan, only as the bike was heading to the right it snapped violently to the left and sent me sailing through the air. Now for some reason as I am taking a noncharterd flight through the air I get this thought in my head" You know this is gonna hurt". About this time I land and land HARD. The first bounch hurt like a mofo. Not real sure what happend after that but I wound up in the median 12 feet fro where I was only moments ago. Ever hear of how people dony know they are hurt after a accident cause of endorphins in the blood stream and so on? Yeah well I mush be running a little low on them cause I was in MAJOR pain assoon as I sat up. I looked across the landscape and see the bike on its right side in the grass just like I had planed, only I wanted to be over there as well, 2 or 3 people running up to me, one person running up to my bike, and a cop with blue lights on talking on his radio ( he was right behind me) I strart to feel a little light headed so I pulled off my helmet and lay back down. Next thing I remember was the crew from the ambulance telling me this is a pretty crappy way of getting out of work. seems the crew chief on Medic 12 iswho I was to relieve in 15 min. Yeah guess he worked over that shift lol.. Anyhow get to the ER get my x-rays and so on. seems I had dislocated my left shoulder, road rashed ,my left hand, broke 4 fingers (odd they did not hurt at all lol) triswed my ankle and drive a twig 8 inshes into my left leg. Soafter some mionor surgery some IV meds and 24 hours in the hospital i get to go home, but not befor stopiong by work lol.. Hand my supervisor the paper work and tellhim I wont be back till next week. Fastfoward to today, well yesterday woke up was a little sore, not a big deal it is to be expected, but it kept geting worse as the day went on,. Took my muscle relaxers and motrin and so on, the meds seemed to work, then I woke up today, and almost screamed when I tried to move. Jess hears me and runs in, seems i am coverd in bruses, my left hip is black andblue and green and some other pretty colors from my mid thigh to my rib cage, my left shoulder all the way down my arm to the elbow is brused and my left hand is swolen 3 times its normal size.. Oh and as for the bike? I was on the TT600 not the bonnie but it has a few minor scraches and the left turn signal is broken..
So how was yalls week? lol
