Um yeah.... firstthings first. Wednesday morning at 845am i was on my way to work. I live in a town that likes to call itself a city and i have to drive along a fairly busy street to get to work. as It is morning rush hour (if u can call it that!) i bike w/ my nice red 40th anniversary schwinn bicycle on the sidewalk as i deem it safer. theres nio bike lane and not enuff room at the side of the street and well i have been seen a great many times by cops who have never said anything. a tad illegal yes, but its one of the few streets the cops wont tiket you for biking on the sidewalks...
so Wednesday miorning i am on my side walkand going down a hill. i pass a jogger and was just about to go past the entrance way to a parking lot when outta nowhere this lil black volkwagon jetta pulls in. I have no time to stop completly. I must have pulled the breaks a lil bit tho, but i'll tell u why in a moment.
so in pulls the jetta and my front tire collides with his fron passenger side door. I dont remeber what happned next, I know i got up fro the ground and all i cld think was "OMG i scratched his car" followed by the thought "OMG i'm going to be late for work" cus well. i had to work at 9am and my workplace was quite letterally w/in viewing distance, a 2 min bike ride. i rmeber being asked if i was ok. i stood up picked up my bike. i rmeber the chain was off and the guard for that chain was severly bent and the handle bars were twisted almost all the way around. I rmeber askign the driver if he cld fix a bike chain, he said no. got in his car and drove into a parking spot. ther was a girl on the porch of the building who told me she saw it all and it was his fault. she even herd him say he saw the jogger adn not me. at thatpoiint i figure least the guy can do is drive me to work. " so as he was heading in i asked him. he said "where is is?" hindsight 20-20 had i not be raised a polite girl, i would have said "does it matter" but even in a state of shock polite girl i was and did not say that i simply answered "its over there"
so i went inside the blg first and i rmeber telling the front desk clrk that i had a wipe out and cld i store my bike there. then i rmeber going to work and blurting out to the fisrt person i saw " iwas just in an accident"
now at this point i felt absolutly no pain. but i know my heart was going amile a minute and several times i was told to slow down my speech.
i rmeebr looking for a supervisor. i rmeber talling him several times what happened. i refused an ambulance cus i said i felt fine, i was just shook up. i rember askign to a drive back to the place where my bike was so i cld get the lisense plate of the guy who hit meand trade info.
by then my arm started to hurt. i rmeber calling allen. he was at work. i rmeber him telling me to slow dow. i rmeber him telling me to go home and rest. i rmeber calling emily. i rmeber he saying dso u wat me to pick u up to which i said yes. by tis time i went to my surpervisor and told her i wanted to go home. she told me i needed to file a poice report cus technically the guy hit me and ran as he nvr called the cops nor an ambulance nor gave me his info. cus well, iw as obviously in shock ansd shld get chkd out.. so i called the cops and they said theyd meet in 15 min at my friends place.
i then went home to my friends place. cop came by i told him what happend about 4 or 5 ties i think cus i was blubbering on.
then he left. I got no tiket cus well he understood that street and why i was on sidewalk and it was a no fault accident. i shld not been on street. he shld have looked for me and most importantly he didnt call the cops.
afte that emily told allen i wa sstaying w/ her for the day as she told me later she told him i was "a lot shook up"
my arm started really hurting but i thought i shld ewait till that night and see the emrg if needed. i didnt want to spend 6-8hrs in emrg if not needed.
allen later admitted to me he woould have been alot more worried had i hurt myself more. the only thing keeping him not too worried is that fact i walked away.
so that night iw as going to go home but needed a new helmut so alen agreed to shop with me before he donated blood. i then admitted i needed to see a dr. so he donated blood and i teied to donate blood but when the nurse heard what happened to me she got the head nurse who said a) after this mornings trauma not a good idea to give blood, and b) because of my heart and heart surgury i can NEVER give blood....
SO AFTER THAT WE WENT TO EMERG. WA SIN AND OUT W/IN 1 HOUR! funny about that, when is ay i am coing in froma moter vehicle accident whereby i was on my bicycle... they tend to put u on a higher triage lvl. lol
saw the dr, took xrays and said i was fine just soft tissue give it a few days of ibeprofen and cold then hot therapy and sld be ok. i went back to emrg the nxt day as i walked to work and then sat down at my desk and felt pain..pure pain, all thru my back and shoulder and neck and arm. i cld not sit!
work demanded a dr's note....my bitch of a supervior struck again! i kept my mouth shut but i alsmot said " excuse me, im lucky to be walking around, i hit a fucking car on my bicycle and you want a damn drs note cus i need another day off cus i cant fucking sit down w/out pain!!!"
so yeah i went to emrg , this time seen w/in 2 hrs ( again remarkable considering it is usually a 6-8 hr wait on avaerage. yeah, we have a slight shortage of drs in out hospitals) and this time the dr told me she was gingin me thurs and fri off and asked if i had to work the wknd or holiday and i said no. she said by tuesday i shld feel well enuff to sit down and work, but i wldnt beable to to do any pilates andy tiem doon. lol. she also said that my bosy was just basically letting me know how angry it was with me and that it was just soft tissue... no bruising, no sprains no broken bones, juust give it rest and ibeprofens and cold therapy for a cpl days then hot therapy and i wld be fine.
my father was thw one who drove me to the hosp so he was the one who dropped off the drs not excusing me for thurs and fri.... he insisted on walking on. so heres my 50 yrold father (lol just dated myself didnt i? i u can now really guess how old i am), in military uniforn and says "this drs note is for dragon lady (obviosuly he calls her by her real name, i just prefer dragon lady) it is from my daughter who just got out of the hospital again. tell dragon lady this excuses her for today and tommorow and tell dragon lady ...thank you." the thank you was said as dad put it "not in a friendly tone"
dad also gave me a desciption of my supervisor and asked f that was here. when i said yes he smiled. she must have been at the front desk when dad gave them my note.
oh dad was po'ed. technically i only need to get a drs note for 3 days missed ina row. this was 2. and also i was in a mva (other vehicle accident) w/ me ona bike and walked away. wrok shld have insited on an ambulance. afterall, they are free. medicare covers them. not work, provincial medicare covers it. but they didnt.
so dad was a tad po'ed at the odasity they had to ask for a note.
so yeah, allen sayd i had a near death experience. a close call. I agree. Mae must have been watching out for me in heaven. And i must be on the Big Guys good side this week! Thank God i made it off ok and my bike did too.
Oh, below is a pic of what my bike USED TO LOOK LIKE. AS SUM SCRATES ON BOTH SIDES AND U'LL GET WHAT MY BIKE LOOKS LIKE NOW. AS ALLEN SAYS...." its earned it stripes" lol
oh an btw....
allen WOULD NOT let me break up with him. neither wld emily. i ca honestly say thats a first.... i break up w/ sum1 and they and then later their other partner say "no, i dont think so"
allen sai he loves me too much and that he is "not frank. i wont let u get away that easily. ilove you too much"
he says that it is an ultimate show of love from me to want to sacrifice me and him so that he and emily cld work on their problems. he wasnt mad at all. quite the contray he found it amusing and also found it incridible sweet and said he loved me all the more for being willing to do that for him and emily. but that both of them agree, it shldnt end.
lol
so yeah, i'm still dating allen despite a long conversation in which i tried repeatly to end it and he wld say no.
he said if there was aproblem w/ him and me, then yes of course, or if i gave him a reason other then "its for u and emily" then yes...b ut that no i want going to break upwith him just cus he an emily hit a very very very ruff patch.
emily later admitted to em she over anylise and over exagerated and that no it wasnt as painful as she made it out to be that allen and i were intimate and she wants and that things were not as bad as she made them outto be. so yeah... she even asked me not to do it but i told her i had to. afterwards she asked me not to do it again and i said ok.
so yeah... i have an indestrucatble boyfriend right now.... he will not let me destory our relationship.
i am caught betweeen saying sweet handsum man and you rotten bastard you!lol
anyways... yours truly has a new look on life and yet another thing to be thankfull for this thanksgiveing long weekend!
1)for my life
2) for allen and mines raltionship.
