And yet ANOTHER great day at the office!
I was riding in the passengers seat of a coworkers service truck at work. He neglected to tell me that the door had a screwed up latch and sometimes "pops open" . Well, he was doin about 20-25 MPH and I was leaning against the door with my arm hanging over the window sill. He makes a left turn, door springs open and I go flying out like a 7 year old superman impersonator. To top it all off, the truck didn't have seatbelts because it's an "On-Site Only" truck.
The first thing that went through my mind was "SON OF A B*TCH!!!" Next thing I know, I'm rolling end over end SIDEWAYS cartwheel style as opposed to scrunching down and rolling like a ball.
After spending 5 hours in emergency I ended up getting 9 stitches in my left forearm, 3 stitches on the left side of my head, had my right stinkfinger popped back into place ( I actually did that in the truck on the way to the hospital), multiple band aids applied, x-rayed, poked, prodded and told that I have a mild concussion. Also possible back and neck injuries (won't be able to tell until Monday supposedly). Not to mention the heavily bruised left ass cheek from landing 3 times on the flashlight that was in my back pocket.
The funny thing is, the guy who I was riding with is the same guy I rebuilt the RWS34 for. Strange how things turn out sometimes uh?
Needless to say, I'm in some pretty bad pain at the moment. It's taking me quite a while to write up this post. Especially with a bad stinkfinger!!! On a good note though, the cute nurse liked me!!! But she got kinda upset when I told her I was married.
