R.I.P.

PANDORA

My mother called me while I work and told me that they had just put down our family dog of 15 years. She was a black lab that had some funny stories behind her.

I remember, my brother would attack me and somehow make the dog join in and pretend like I was hurting him, so pandora would be nipping at my legs while I tried to dodge her and my brother.

Another story, She would run circles around one of our large trees. It almost seemed like the rodents were having just as much fun with her as she was with them. Even near the end of her days she still would play with those evil squirels.

She will be missed.

My wreck...great.

I am sorry to say that it seems in this blog that I'm very unlucky with everything.....BUT I assure you that it isn't always the case.

So a few weeks ago I had the unlucky misfortune of wrecking my cute scooter. I was going about 40 on State when my tire decided to blow out on me. I wasn't freak out at all, because I didn't have time to react. All I thought about before was, 'Great..need to slow down to pull over to check my tire.' I had noo clue I was going to be tipping over into uncoming traffic and getting some really bad road rash and being whisked away in an ambulence.

Luckily, I had decided to wear my helmet to work that day and even home. Johan had text me around 5:30 in the morn about how he almost got hit. (someone had sped through a red light and stopped two feet away from his door.) I was a little scared for him and so I had decided to put on my helmet and not chance brain injuries if a car decided to run me over.

I remember seeing a huge SUV as I fell and just kept wondering if it was going to hurt when I get ran over by a car, but luck was on my side. My scooter ended up getting bumped and the car stopped before it ran me over.

I had a bunch of people around me and feeling an extreme pain on my toe. I just kept saying, "get my husband' and 'Ooowwww, my toe!' I was seriously ready to get some pain killers for my flippin' toe. The ambulence ride wasn't much better. I had a few knuckle heads for my doctors in the ambulence. (I still wasn't given any pain killers.) And one of the guys kept on poking me in my wrong arm with the I.V. I kept telling him my right arm is easier to get a vein. After many attempts on my left and me saying my right arm is better. He had the nerve to actually say, "oh yeah, This arm is soo much better." I rolled my eyes. Now that I think about it, I was probably grumpy about not getting any painkillers.

Finally, I got some pain killers and got to see my husband. I was so thankful for the people that came to the hospital and visited me. (Aunt Terri, Liz and Jon, Evelyn((landlord))) The only injuries I recieve was, :RoadRash-Shoulder, Leg, feet, and breast. Broken Toe. Seperated Shoulder. and glue closed a gash on my broken toe.

I was released after a few hours of in the hospital. I was also suprised that I didn't get any whiplash.

UPDATE:

I am now sooo much better and out of the sling. and wearing normal shoes. I just have some scars and missing a few toenails. All in All, I'm pretty lucky.
