SKULL FRACTURE!!!!!!! :))))):):):):):):):):)

Sorry for the lack of blogging...

I got hit by a car.

Its been a long while since I updated this blog, and to be quite honest with you I can't really remember all the fun little details that usually make this blog so fun and interesting... yeah right. Though I suppose compared to recent events the quirky dive-bar and grills and all its patrons, and all the pretty animals, and all the crazy weather that we experienced may not be what everyone really wants to hear about.

On May 12th, the one month aniversary of my trip, I was in Fargo North Dakota. We got in kinda early, and decided to go and see a movie. We saw Star Trek, I liked it. We took a wrong turn somewhere out of the parking lot and wound up a little lost. After a quick glance at the GPS, we were able to determine that our camp ground was just a few blocks away and a right hand turn was in order. After that I don't have any memory until the hospital. Nick tells me that we were riding off to the side of the road, in a single file line. A white saddan buzzed Nick real close, and then cut hard hitting me at about 45 mph. Since he hit me right from behind I didn't really see it coming, I was rolled up the hood breaking his windshield and then ejected into the air about 10 feet or so. I came down pretty hard, though I don't know what part of my body hit first. I guess I was out for about 30 seconds. The guy took off blowing two red lights in the proccess. I came too and tried to move around, though I was strongly urged by Nick and two other kind citizens that had stopped to help, that I should remain still. A man at an intersection saw what had happened and followed the guy and got his plate number. My memory picks up again in the hostpital bed, in a neck brace and in pain. They told me I had been hit by a car, I was not wearing a helmet, and that they need to CT scan me for posible spinal cord injuries. I wiggled my toes and relaxed and asked for some morphine. Then I relaxed some more. The first scan results showed a hair-line fracture in my skull, and a 3 millimeter blob of blood on my brain. The doctor told me that they would keep me over night, and scan me again in the morning. The second scan showed that the bleeding had recest as they hoped it would and that I would be out of the hospital that day. They guy got caught, and is now being slowly digested through the court system. Nick kept going and broke his dad's milage-in-a-day record by 10 miles with a massive ND tail wind hitting 139 miles in one day. Wish I could have been there for that. I'll try to keep up on the blog more frequently now, I just needed a little break. here are the rest of the pictures from the trip. Including some awesome day after pictures of me. See yah.






This accident convinced me hollywood is a fake. All those dudes running around with guns in action movies looking like this?... No way, this f-ing hurts.
