   OOPS!
Sorry about that last post... my dog went into my room because she knocked down the barrier and I panicked and hit "TAB" and then "ENTER" which submitted my incomplete post. heh. Well, like I was saying,I hit the brakes going down this hill because if I turned like I planned, I would run into (literally) this lady walking her dogs. Well, I forgot how sensitive my front brakes were when I hit them so the bike flipped over from the back to the front and sent me flying over the handlebars into the grass, but before I landed in the grass, my left shoulder and left side of my face made contact with the cement curb. Ouch. So, I layed in the grass, in pain, face down, waiting for someone to come over and help me; Kelly had been going down the hill behind me and ALbert had been at the top of the hill and the lady walking her dogs, who is my neighbor had also stopped.My bike was across my ankles, so my movement was limited. Kelly came down and moved my bike off my ankles, my neighbor came up to me, WITH HER DOGS (Those dogs dislike me and I dislike them), so my first words after the fall were "get the dogs away from me". She did and I was thankful. Then ALbert came down and was like "C'mon Lisa, get up" I didn't know the severity of my fall, all I knew was that Allison (my neighbor) thought that I should stay down on the ground until someone could come and help me. I sat up, then stood up but suddenly, everything went into spots of colors, then black; I was still concious though.I layed down again and informed Kelly that I was about to pass out. She grabbed my cell phone which had flown out of my pocket and called my house. My mom came and I tried to stand up once again, this time I didn't get all dizzy and stuff so I was OK, for a little while. Then my stomach started to hurt REALLY bad which usually happens when I get hurt like that, and I actually threw up, followed by dry-heave. Ew. ALbert's mom rode by in her car and gave me a ride to my house, where I held ice on all of my wounds. Luckily all of my friends were now at my house seeing as I had invited Tory over just before the accident and Ashley had called and I had told her just to come up and that I was hurt and Kelly had been there since the end of school. Then James and Michael came to my door and were asking if I was OK, then James acutally said "Lisa! Come out here!" At this point my stomach was cramped and just in lots and lots of pain, so I could barely speak, much less go outside and goof off with the neighborhood kids. Yea. I still went Trick-Or-Treating Friday night! ^_^ By Saturday I was feeling better so I took a shower. Well, in the shower I put the water on just about as hot as I could get it, but when I got out, the house was cold, so I started feeling sick to my stomach and then I got dizzy, then started seeing all of the color spots again then ran to my bed and layed down until I felt better. I also missed school on Monday since my side still hurt REALLY bad and I didn't think that I could manage all of the getting up and down stuff. Yea and I forgot to mention that my left side has been hurting consistantly since the accident. Tuesday I was good enough to go to school and actually went outside afterwards. Today I went to school as well, but couldn't participate in gym, but I didn't go outside because of the inclimate weather that we're having. That's my story. Painful.
