My First Ride In An Ambulance
Posted: Mon Sep 13, 2004 2:05 am
Well instead of racing I got something a bit unwanted today:
Heres the story as best as I can type it (with a sprained wrist).........
In practice before the motos start, they usually run us with the sport quad class (blasters and 300exs), but they let the Women take off first so we can jump and stuff and not get caught up behind all the kids and such and not land on them.....anyways they let the sport quad class go pretty much in front of ours so I was trying to get around as many of them as I could so I could actually get some good warm up time done. Well, I was starting to make a move around one of them in a straight away, and the kid didnt hold his line at all and he swerved into me. My right front hooked up with his left rear and made my quad wheelie straight up and jump into the air. It wouldnt have been THAT bad.............BUT there was a fence in front of me.... The quad tried to jump over the fence and the bumper clipped the top of the fence and threw me hard face down into the ground and the quad flipped hard and landed HARD on my back and tailbone. TALK ABOUT PAIN......... they were scared I hurt my organs and broke my back...... I was VERY lucky b/c my seat was the part that hit me...... I have a nice big bruise thats the pattern of my gripper seat thats as dark as my truck's maroon. Anyways, I get to ride on that lovely hard board going about 90 mph to the hospital and every little bump i feel bc of course my *** is hitting that board, I about wanted to wring somebody's neck. So I get into the hospital and they are all asking my questions and I wait forever for pain medication. After that I get X-Rays and I find out nothing is broken bad, I have somewhat of a feeling I fractured something and they missed it, but my bruises are so deep and so bad that something might as well be broken. It was a very scary ordeal and I'm in huge pain, my stomach got beat up, my wrist got sprained, my tailbone is totally screwed, i think my organs got bruised a little, and my back has some bad marks and bruises all over it (I am SO lucky I didnt break my back)
I'll probably take some pics of that nasty bruise in a while or tomorrow...anyways thats my lovely day!
