Bike Wreck - June 19th, 2013





Bike Wreck

When I was around ten years of age my brother bought me my first bike for Christmas.  I was a heavy little girl at that age and wore glasses.  I never really rode the bike often because our roads had lots of steep hills to ride down and I was always fearful of losing control of the bike and crashing.  Well one day, I was riding down the steepest hill right off our street and the breaks would not work. 

I remember trying to scream and it felt like a whisper coming from my lips as I thought I would die because I did fly down that hill and crashed into our car in our driveway below that road.   I thought no one would hear me scream because to me it seemed like a whisper but that whisper could be heard all over our street.

I got up from that bike not feeling one pain because I was in shock.  My knees were completely skinned, one deeply and I have scars on them today.  My mother came running and my brothers and sisters.  They showed love and concern, but I never cried, I never sighed until I felt sweat on my brow.  I lifted my hand to brush away the sweat and when I looked  at my hand I realized my whole head and body were covered in blood, the blood flowing from a wound on my head.    Then I cried hysterically and panic caused my body to shake. Then  I later discovered my front  tooth had been chipped. 

My mother took me to the doctor and He put the stitches in my head and huge bandages on my knees.

Then later my mother took me to the dentist who fixed my tooth with a fill.  That dentist did the best job ever because that fill lasted up into my thirties and no person, other than my family and dentist,  ever knew my tooth had been chipped.   

I had just learned how to ride my bike and after that I really didn't care about riding it again.  However I did own a bike in my thirties and would ride it as long as I didn't have to ride down any super steep hills.
