Well I think that I used up all of my extra lives on tues the 5th. I was coming back from the GF house and on my way to work at 7am when I hit "black ice" and lost control and slid off the road sideways and rolled multiple times (3 I think) once I hit the soft dirt. After I worked my way out of the truck I layed flat and waited about a min. later for another vehicle came along to call the paramedics, GF, and parents. As soon as the paranedics got there they said that the air evac would be therer in 10 min. to fly my busted body to Phoenix ST.Joseph Hospital. While laying there I was spitting up foamy bright red blood so I knew I punctured a lung. but I didn"t know what else I did to my self, other than I knew that I was in bad shape. Well once they flew me to the hospital they put me into a medicaly induced coma for almost a week because all the dust into my lungs gave me instant pnemonia(sp). From what I was told they (everyone doctors, parents) didn't know if I was even going to survive the injurys. Well it makes me happy to say that I am still here I have a broken collar bone and 4 broken ribs along with a recovering lung on my left side and a broken rib on my right.
Needless to say I won't be seen at the shop for quite a while or the trail or road for even longer
. I guess that this does give me and oppurtunity to change a few things on my bikes that I wouldn't be able to do while trying to ride them.
