face, meet asphalt.

last night around dusk, i went for a fun joyride on my bike. went around the block, jamming to my tunes and having a great time... didnt want to stop, but it was getting dark... so i went to the elementary school to ride around the parking lot. i ended up sliding on a bunch of loose gravel and somehow my face ended up planting into the asphalt. as well as other body parts, i tried to stop the fall with my hands, so they are scraped up pretty bad. I called nick and told him i was really hurt and to run down. We only live a few houses down from the elementary. I was bleeding pretty well from my hands and there was gravel in them. My face hurt REALLY bad. i was pretty sure it was going to be really bad and my teeth hurt so bad, i was afraid that i might lose some. or that my jaw might be out of alignment.

anyways, we called nicks mom and her and troy came over to stay here at the house, since jonas was asleep. We went to the ER.. it took forever to get in.. they were very busy. I was hurting pretty bad and bawling pretty much the whole time. We were there until about 2am. They told me i fractured a bone underneath my eye. It is swollen and there is a hole in the bone. I have to be very careful with my face and i am not allowed to blow my nose. The technical name is "orbital blowout fracture". I am pretty freaking scared about it and worried, hoping that it all heals up okay. anyways, here are some pics... for some reason it doesnt look as bad as it feels... i guess it is mostly internal damage. :(








life sucks sometimes. grateful that i am okay, grateful for nicks family helping us out so much last night. grateful for my wonderful husband that has let me cry on his shoulder this whole time. i hope to get feeling better soon.
