DAMAGE REPORT
Sep. 23rd, 2004 10:26 amQuick Update:
Monday night I took my bike for a ride through the neighborhood. Turns out to have been a bad idea. I was going down Archwood-which is one steep hill at a quick clip when I noticed an approaching pothole ahead of me in the dark. I swerved left and didn't notice a smaller hole in the road. I hit it and flipped off the bike landing elbows and head first and sliding down a few feet with my bike careeening behind me. Short story- bad damage to both the arms and i'm pretty banged up in the head. Luckily i'm a pretty thick skulled guy(as most of my ex's will attest to) and I got by w/no concussion. Having trouble straightening out my arms completely, but I can move my fingers (having trouble typing but I can manage). I'm planning on getting an x-ray in an ER somewhere once the swelling goes down a bit. With a little luck and a bless of the Buddha & the goddess
this won't fuck with me spinning Saturday.
I keep thinking of Sgt.Barnes in the movie Platoon-
"Take the Pain!"
I'll resume my filthy jet-stream of conscious naratives soon though. See y'all Saturday.
