broken....

mmhmm yea i'm broken!! Monday September 20th, didn't make it to class that day cuz I was exhausted!! I had a late night Sunday night helping someone out... so I went up to campus late to work on homework, and i rode my long board to class because i'm to lazy to walk.... i studied for like 3 hours and found myself too tired and sore to go on! i actually discovered that I was ahead in my science class with one of the lessons, but behind with another cuz i mixed them up! bummer... but i was done for the day i was so out of it, plus my back was sore cuz it just does that sometimes... so i boarded home, down the REALLY big hill in Rexburg... bad plan.... but i didn't want to walk and it just felt so good soaring down the hill!! until the end right there... i got going just a bit to fast and my board started wobbling from speed... and I biffed it hardcore!!! i went down wicked hard at like at least 30mph... i remember hitting my head, my shoulder.... and everything else... i felt wicked out of it and a bit dizzy right after and somehow managed to stand up and walk to the side of the road and pull out my phone to call Tricia, cuz i knew i was hurt bad. I could see my apartment from where I was sitting... Before i got much further a car of girls pulled over and offered to help me... at first I said I was fine and thought I could just make it home, or that my roommates could just come help me. Almost as soon as i tried to send them away I started to hurt, and realized that i was going to need these three girls help. So I accepted, one of them grabbed my board, one grabbed my bag, and the other one helped me into the car, and they also helped me into the house. I walked in the door holding my arm and the flood gates were about to come crashing down. Tricia was sitting on the couch with her friend on the couch and Jessica was at the table. I stumbled in, looked at Tricia and said "i crashed" she didn't quite catch it at first. "I crashed on my skateboard...." She jumped up, ran over and sat me down on the couch. I was starting to realize just how much pain I was in. oh heavens it hurt, and just kept getting worse. We decided that i needed a doctor. I called my parents to explain the situation and then I asked Tricia to help me change into shorts cuz my jeans just didn't feel good. We stood up and she walked me away from the couch, halfway across the room the pain became excruciating, and shot through my right shoulder. I started collapsing. I've never hurt so much in my life... everything started going white, and quiet and echoey... it was terrible!! I started sweating but I'm pretty sure I stayed conscious.... but i was right on the edge!! Tricia told me later that my eyes had been dilating as well... lame. So 3 guys had to carry me to the car and we went to the ER... a few x-rays and examinations later i was told that my collar bone was indeed broken, not to mention i did a nasty number on my all of me. I don't even know how many times a different part of my body hit the ground... all the places that are bruised and scratched don't even make sense!! I have road rash on the right side of my head, my right shoulder, a little on my right elbow, my right hip then a tiny bit on my right knee, more on my left knee, and my big left toe... my left shoe was destroyed, i ripped my tank top and everything is bruised!! my right collar, shoulder, and entire right arm are wicked swollen!! My fingers are so swollen that my ctr ring will not come off at all!!! my ribs, especially on my left side are soooo sore, and my right side from my ribs and down my leg is wicked stiff and sore, like i can barely lift my leg, and my whole leg just feels swollen... holy.crap. man it sucks, especially since i'm right handed. i'm trying to get things worked out with school and need to go see an orthopedist sometime soon so that they can make sure it heals properly. The bone is broken and slightly offset, so when it does heal it will be slightly deformed. The only thing that didn't get hurt was my left hand/wrist cuz i was already wearing a brace on that wrist from my last injury. And so i've been laid out and drugged up since Monday night... my roommates have been so kind to me!! They have all been here for me to help or whatever, even when i'm stubborn about it :) Tricia was with me the whole time right after. All in the hospital and she got me dinner after. oh man... honestly i'm lucky to be as alright as i am... and lucky to be so loved and looked out for!! :) more to come later.... 6 weeks seems like a long time!!

summer comes to an end...

It is my last day at home, I'll be leaving tomorrow. 7 weeks was not a sufficient amount of time to rest after 4 months of death and destruction. And for the semester I had,m that's a slight understatement, although I do tend to exaggerate. So it's my last day home and what am I doing? Sitting in the basement, in my torn apart not bedroom, staring at the wall and making sure that nothing goes wrong and my dad saws a hole in the concrete foundation, so that they can put a bigger window in the basement. yay. Despite my sarcasm and and boredom about how I'm spending my last days at home, it is safe to say that almost all of the days of summer before this were awesome!! I had a wicked fun summer!! I didn't get to do some of the things that I had hoped to do, partly due to the fact that I hurt my wrist and couldn't do some things, but I still had a wicked fun summer!! Probly it was one of my best so far. I got to spend a lot of time with Kelsey! And when I say a lot, I mean a lot! Like a few days a week a lot, haha we had a blast! There was a lot of time where we were just hanging around, we didn't get to have as many big adventures this summer as we would have, because of a lot of other stuff going on, but that's ok, and when winter time comes, the world had better watch out! Yeslek and Elochin will be back and saving the day!! capes, togas, yellow jumpsuits and all!! :) oh the fun we will have! We spent all this past week together, so much fun. And I got to spend some time with Joe too, love that kid. AND a few weeks ago Kels took me to see the most AMAZING firework show I have ever seen in my life! It was spectacular!! It was all done to amazing music. Probly it was epic! I had a good time with my family as well!! It's good to be older and more understanding of some things, and have time to spend with my family, it's a lot of fun! We had some interesting and not so fun things happen as well, we almost made it through without them, but that would be asking too much now wouldn't it. But I guess that really what doesn't kill us, makes us stronger! ... most of the time ;)... so is life. Tomorrow I travel back to Rexburg, getting in quite late, as usual. Probly I am a bit nervous to have all new roommates, could be interesting. And all the other crazy stuff going on?! holy cow! But I do have actually a really good feeling about this coming semester... I don't know why, but I can't help but feeling like some really good things are going to happen and I'm going to have a really good time. I don't know, I just have a really good feeling. I had a wicked good feeling about the housing I found, and about my classes and just everything in general, and it's one of those legit things are going to be good one way or another feelings. :) so, as sad as I am to leave, which is incredibly sad, because I will miss Kels sooooo much and Joe a ton! And my family a bunch! So, as incredibly sad as I am to go, I have a good feeling about this semester :) keep your fingers crossed for me and my sometimes misinterpreted good feelings :)
