 wrecked
Well, I finally had my first one. It happened Sat. I just got out of the hospital today. here is a pretty good detailed version of the story I wrote for someone else:
As for the accident, I don't know exactly what you know about it, but I was not at fault in the least bit. The actual accident had nothing to do with the fact that I was on a motorcycle. I know if I was in a "normal" vehicle that I probably would not have had to go to the hospital, however. The accident happened kinda like this:
I was going down old Auburn road in Phenix City and was in front of the Delta and the VFW when apparently a car pulled out in front of another car (I did not see this happen) well, the "other car" swerved to aviod hitting the car that pulled out in front of it, and hit ME instead. All I saw was that car swerving and fishtailing in and out of my lane. There was nothing I could have done to aviod it. My bike impacted the rear side of the vehicle and crushed my leg between the two. I hit the ground and rolled about 4 times and wound up face down in the ditch off to the side of the road. After I rolled myself over, I tried to stand, but that didnt work too well, I looked down and saw my kneecap... even though that looked pretty bad, I could not feel that over the intense pain I had in my foot. (I could have sworn that something would have been broken there) I had to go to surgury for my knee because apparently something had poked through the joint and air got in under the joint. They had to get that out, clean the wound, and stitch my leg back up. Fortunately I did not break anything, although my foot did get crushed (it is now twice the size of my other foot). It was just all soft tissue damage there. Well, I guess that's about it... oh, and just in case you were wondering I WAS doing the speed limit. (there was a cop right behind me) So I was not at fault for the accident in any way.
I guess now, the only thing to do would be to get some pics up... I have some of my knee and foot (they are not too pretty) I do not have any of my bike as of yet. I will try to get the pics I have of my damage up a little later, and no, they are NOT PRETTY at all. (but for now I think I am headed back to rest)
