{{{JENN}}} I'm sorry about your crash. I hope you heal quickly. jenniferOriginally Posted by 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.

OMG!!! Jenn, did the driver stop to help you? I sure hope so! What did he have to say for himself? He sure did a number on you. Heal quickly!

Today is day 3
And I think I hurt MORE today then yesterday. My neck back, legs, everything is sore. My right eye is swollen shut and the road rash is just the WORST.
No, the driver I don't think ever saw me, he turned and wen't flying over the path I was on right in front of me. A nice woman stopped though, that saw the whole thing and offered me to ride home, but I didn't. I was still dazed I think I rode the 3.5 miles back knowing I hurt but once I saw everything I got woozy. DH got sick, bless his heart, he can't stand blood. So just thought I'd show ya''ll my face on day 3.
Hope everyone is having a better day then I am!! Please go out and have some good rides for me!! THANKS!

OMG! I'm SO SORRY THAT HAPPENED! I've been reading a book called "The Art of Cycling" that is really teaching me a lot about defensive cycling. Maybe you should read it while you are healing. Of course, it sounds like in this particular situation, there wasn't necessarily anything you could do about it though!
You have a great attitude. I think I'd be totally freaked out. Take good care of yourself!
