I Digress


I normally keep my blogs very specific - Running.
More specific actually - training for a named marathon/half marathon, and I avoid writing about
anything else really.

The Boy did fall off his bike this time last year during a training run for my first effort at the Mansfield Half, so that link will do.
See the old post at :- http://aquickhalf.blogspot.com/2007/06/loosener.html

His crash yesterday was far more dramatic so it deserves an entry here even though I wasn't running with him.

Lucky or Not?
Mega crash while riding across the woods miles from anywhere, but..............
1) He had adults with him (not me I was watching MotoGP)
2) He was wearing a full face helmet (he borrowed it for the ride)
3) There was an organised Mountain bike event nearby
4) He wiped out right in front of 2 marshalls of the course
5) They saw the state of him and got an ambulance there within 2 minutes
6) He didn't damage his bike

A&E
When my wife and I walked into casualty, he was in a bit of a mess and strapped to the bed with head stabilisers and neck brace. She immediately went as white as a sheet and had to be helped out - to get some air.
He was being tended to by a really hot nurse which, the fact that he had clocked her as well, made me realise he was probably going to be OK.

Funny
When he said he felt sick the hot nurse said "if you are I'll have to suck it all up", I automatically thought that not only was she a stunner but she was kinky too. However the funny bit was when he threw up, as his head and neck were stabilised, he just blew bubbles with it. The second time was a bit more forceful and it flew in the air before landing in his own face and eyes.
Come on, you gotta giggle.

Relief
After he'd been Xrayed they took all the restraints off and checked him over. You should see the bruise on his ball bag! Good job he's only 10, if he'd have dropped em by now he'd probably have lost one.

R&R
Took the day of work today to bring him home.
Got back to the house about 10:00, played together on the Xbox until 18:00 - what a good do.
