long story short, i hate emergency rooms

Despite, or because of?

despite. my glasses got me 10 stitches, and i almost broke my left wrist. No concusion what so ever, only pain in my head was from the inch and a half long gouge over my right eye (see avatar). In retrospect, i almost wish i did have a concusion, i woulda been rushed through the waiting process.

It's the protruding helmet chin's fault you almost broke your wrist? What, did you hit a gnome you couldn't see or some "poo poo"?

LOL no, i hit my step dad's bars on my XR and highsided myself off. It was my own dumb fault for wearing glasses instead of goggles. Wrist was from hitting his bars, hand got caught some how, and i landed partially on it i think. It's been a while and it was fuzzy.

Am I the only one who really wished the gnome was part of the story? Im a stickler for great stories I guess... *sighs*
