Major Crash2..Just got home from E.R.

[Jenn]

Home from the E.R. I have a mild concusion and road rash ALL down the right side of my body and a headache to beat the band.
I really feel for the first posting of the Major Crash...
I was on the path moving along and a van came up on the road no turn signal nothing and pulled out right in front of me ON THE PATH.
Down I went, on my right side. All I remember is my head bouncing off the ground and dirt in my mouth. I have road rash, that is SOOO bad a Hole in my knee and my head is killing me. The E.R. Dr wanted to give me morphine, but I DON"T like meds like that so he said take some motrin go home and rest and they cleaned out my wounds OUCH!!!!!!!
Now I'm afraid to get back on my bike. I was being so freaking careful!!!! Well I'm going to lay down, I HURT.Thank GOD for helmet we took it in with us and the DR said had I not had it on, things would NOT be good.

Oh My Goodness! Jenn, I am so glad you are home and safe. How scary for you and your family. I am sorry that you are in such pain.

I don't think I would worry about getting back on your bike right now. Just concentrate on healing and feeling better right now. Heal your wounds and your bruised head; take a couple of weeks off and then see how you feel.

Sending lots of healing hugs your way. Rest and take it easy.

OMG! The van came on the PATH??!! Oh I do hope an officer came and he was ticketed!!
But in the meantime, becareful with that noggin!! It's nothing to mess with. If you are still feeling funky tomorrow you might want to call your doctor and check in.
Heal up nice and quick! That cute pumpkin in your avatar pic needs mom!!

I'm so sorry to hear that you are hurting. Get some rest now. Believe me, after a few days off the bike, you will be longing to be on it again.

As others told me after my wreck, you will learn to ride differently in a way that you compensate for your safety concerns.

for now, just take care of yourself!

I'm sorry this happened Jenn! I hope you feel better soon. Take your time.

I am grateful that you are alive and nothing was broken. What a frightening experience for you (and us too).

Heal now, questions later.

Hey, now you get a new helmet!

I'm so sorry you have to deal with a crash, pain and agony. Don't be shy about asking for help so you can rest and heal quickly.

OUchie! Ouchie!

(((((((((jenn))))))))) Take care of yourself!

I mistook a curb for a flat peice of ground a while back & the headache didn't go away for three days.

Please ensure if you're not feeling well to watch for any serious symptoms & go to the doctor if need be.

Jenn, sure glad you are ok. Do you know if the van driver got cited? Will you be able to recover your medical costs?

Thank goodness for the helmet. Don't forget to get a new one.

I am so glad you were not hurt even worse. Do not even think about your bike right now. Most people would be freaked out, you have hust been in a dreadful accident. Focus on resting and taking care of you. Sending healing prayers your way.
