ER Visits

BCIpam - you're not the only one with bike related incidents.

1. As a child, I got a "splinter" while running around barefoot. Said splinter entered the ball of my foot and exited through my second toe. They had to strap me down to get it out. I haven't walked or run barefoot outside since.
2. Bike related: When I broke my wrist last year
3. Bike related: Taking my husband to get an insect out of his ear--it flew in during a bike ride. I count it as I had to wait there while kids puked on the floor beside me.
4. Bike related: Took a turn into a driveway too quick at night, hit the sidewalk cutout at the wrong angle and split my chin open, needed stitches.

OMG Deanna! The first one made me cringe!!!

All of my trips(that I remember) have been bike related
1. Was hit by a car running stop sign - broke wrist - Went to where I was employed at the time - Had to covince the ER satf that I was there as a patient, and not an employee.
2. Was descending and and hot some fresh rocks n' tar/Chip seal. Had laceratorions from glasses (Had clip on sunglasses and the clips did it) and on the knee. I did this a block from a Rescue Squad. Got loaded into the Ambulance. Also Broke my left pinky finger
3. Three weeks ago, I fell in a paceline and cracked my humerus. Drove 40 miles back to the ER closest to where I live(on the advice of a MD). Still recovering
