My Nasty Bike Accident

Last Monday, the 19th, I was riding home from school to go visit Melanie. I was riding down a sidewalk up at the University of Utah and I was going kind of fast. I went down and caught a little bit of air and the force of me landing made the screws to the wheel of my bike break off. I BIFFED it hard core. I flew off the bike and landed on my arm, shoulder, and head. Thankfully I was wearing a helmet. I was in complete shock when it happened, but I was able to get up despite all the pain and check myself to see if I was okay. I was in a lot of pain of course; so, I called Melanie and she came and picked me up and took me home. She was a great nurse; she cleaned me up and put bandages all over me. As you can see I have scrapes and cuts all over from my head all the way down to my knees and feet. When the accident happened my back hurt really bad and Melanie was really worried that I had seriously injured it. So we went to Instacare and got an x-ray and thankfully everything was okay. This past week has been a painful recovery, but every day I feel a lot better than the previous.
