I Wiped Out Big Time You Guys! (My ATV Accident + First Broken Bone)😲

in #photography7 years ago (edited)

Well, I've got a little bit of an update to share with you guys........I got a boo-boo. Yeah, you know that ATV accident I mentioned the other day? Well it wasn't pretty.

First of all I wanted to give acknowledgement to some of my family members for being awesome enough to help me keep up with my Steemit posts over the past few days. I could never have done it without them. Thankfully I like to have plenty of recipes ready to share ahead of time in case of emergencies like this past weekend was.

I also should give plenty of warning that if you are at all bothered by seeing unpleasant medical sights please do not scroll down as I've shared a few pictures of my injury.

It started out as a beautiful day of riding 4-wheelers with my father, my sister, and a friend of ours. The weather was spectacular and we spent hours going through mountain roads, very rocky terrain, and even a few sheer cliff drop-offs that could have been bad if you weren't careful (shhh, don't tell my mom!)

My point is that we did a lot of riding and I had a great time.....until the end. As for the accident itself I wish I could explain how it happened but I'm still trying to figure it out myself. We have no idea how the 4-wheeler landed in the opposite direction of how it was going. I think at the end of the day the cause was that I was going too fast around a corner, and I flipped my 4-wheeler and landed very hard in a roll on palms and knees.

I don't remember the whole thing but what does stand out in my memory was the fact that I was gasping for breath and everything hurt at once. Oh and a quick insertion here; There happened to be a car full of very good-looking young guys driving by that stopped when they saw me. (Of course that would happen when I was covered in dirt and blood, haha) They very kindly helped my dad lift the 4-wheeler out of the ditch it had landed in.

When they got me back to the house it was decided that it would be better to take me in to see a doctor that we have connections with. So after a very long, and I must say painful, night we went to Prairie Family Med. You can visit their website >>HERE<< and I highly recommend them if you live in the area. They were amazing. So my total injuries rang in at a whopping number of scratches and abrasions, some brilliantly colored bruises, one wrist sprained, the other broken, and a ripped up knee that needed 34 stitches!

So if you're wondering how I'm typing this post out, well I've been getting really good at typing one-handed. Oh, and as you might imagine this is going to put a dent in my plans to work at Schweitzer but the good news is that the woman I've been talking with agreed to keep things open until I can work.

Hey, but at least we got to see the famous bra tree on our ride, lol
