Wow, good thing it wasn't worse than it could have been. So hope you have a quick recovery. This wasn't a mountain bike crash was it as far as the ER knows.

I just got back from a Dr. check up. My Dr. is cool, he almost laughs at me and my pains. But in the end he pretty much just gave me more pain killers and said its going to take time.

This wasn't a mountain bike crash was it as far as the ER knows.
My motorcycle wreck that I mentioned above was on a bike that I was trying to fix. I live on a gravel road and was just taking it for a spin to make sure it was right. The timing chain broke and wrapped around the crank, locking the engine up. I was around 40mph, and didn't have time to pull the clutch before the rear tire locked and started to come around. I did not have a motorcycle license at the time, and the bike was not licensed.
At the hospital, I told them it was a bike wreck. They asked if it was motorcycle, and I said just a bicycle. The doctor that was sewing my knee up (my arms, hands, etc were tore up too) said, "Bike wreck huh? I ride a HD SuperGlide. What do you ride?" I replied, "A Huffy". He chuckled and said, "It looks like you were going pretty fast for it to have been on a Huffy." I said, "Yeah, its a 10 speed."
