my injuries

Ok well lets just start by saying injuries just plain suck. Well, this time it was the same leg. Sorry, I dont have any pictures from this one. Well, I went out riding, just for a quick get out. Well, I made it to were i was going to turn around at and started to come back. Well, I made it half way back when, my right front tire hit some really tall weeds. I then hit the brakes, which was all I could think to do, because the rear end already started to slide around. Well, by then it was too late. I got thrown clear landin on my left side. The quad, I think only rolled maybe 1 time. It ended up being upside down. Well, I tried to get up but couldn't. So I laid there for a moment trying to think of what I should do. I felt down my leg and I felt by my hip. Something wasn't right. I then realized that I had my cell phone, so I call home, which was like only 1000 feet away to get help. When my dad and brother and his friends came back they picked me up and my left leg seemed longer. Well, as for the quad I think i just busted the top ball joint on the left side and bent the lower one, and maybe bent the steering stem. I went to the hospital, and I in fact did dislocate my left hip. But the doctors said it was a rare dislocation because of where my bone went. It went down and in. So now I'm out for like hopefully only 2 weeks with a sore hip and shoulder. Plus I need to repair my four wheeler.

		These are some of my most recent injuries Well, it got a little bigger. Well, I had another crash. This time was during a race at Amherst Meadowlarks on September 14, 2003. I really don't remember 3everything that happened. All I know is i crashed went to the hospital, and have a nice bruise. I can honestly say this is the biggest bruise I have ever had. The black mark is from the doctor at the hospital. They marked it so I knew how big the bruise was when I left. Oh yeah it is about as painful as it looks.
