I is concussed

[kyledvor61]

Yesterday I was riding my YZ in the yard when I had a bit of an accident. Appearently i went up in a wheelie and was in the powerband at the wrong time and went wayyyy up. My Dad said I was vertical and let go of the bike and landed in basically a sitting position on my ass, then rolled straight/right a few times. The bike continued in a wheelie on the rear fender then crashed down in the dirt about 30 feet away. I ran over to the bike and shut it off and shut the gas off then went straight to my knees. It was extremely difficult to breathe. My Dad didnt think the impact was that bad, but appearently it was so took his time getting to me thinking it wasnt to serious. After about a minute of being on my knees having a very hard time breathing he told me to stand up, as he was tought to do. I slowly stood up, then it happened. I was staring at the swingset right in front of me and its kinda hard to describe what happened. Basically in my eyes, the top half went right and the bottom half went left, and i collapsed in my dads arms. He said I was out for about 10 seconds, he was screaming are you with me the whole time, but i dont remember it. I was on my knees for about a minute and it happened again, i just collapsed in his arms for about the same amount of time. My Dad told me to say the abc's and i just couldnt do it. everything was so slurred you couldnt understand me, an I couldnt barely say C. My dad had my mom call 911 to get me to the hospital. I had pains in my ass, full back, and lower neck.

So the ambulance arrives and they got me on a board, put me in a neck brace, and hoist me in the ambulance. They strapped me down like a mofo so I couldnt do anything. (if anyodys seen the music video for one, this is how i felt.) They asked me basic questions such as my name, where i am, and other stuff which i got right, but i hesitated for a bit on all of them. So we get going in the ambulance and they give me an IV, blood sugar checker, blood pressure thingy which went off every few minutes, and a few other things such as a pulse checker.

We get to the hospital and they wheeled me in on the stretcher and into a room. There were a bunch of hot nurses waiting there . One hooks all the stuff back up, and the other one cuts my shirt off since I had the neck brace on. Next she takes my pants off .  So they check for anything abnormal and ask me questions, and everything was ok. I sit for a little bit and different doctors ask me the same questions, to see what I remember and stuff. So I sat for a little bit, and they wheeled me out for a cat scan. Got a few different scans done of my head and neck. It sucked since the brace was so uncomfortable and I wanted to move, but i couldnt since they were doing stuff on my head. So they wheeled me back to the room and after about 10 minutes they said everything looked ok. Then after another 15 minutes they wheeled me out for X-rays. They did about 6 to my left and right hip, tailbone, and that general area. After a few minutes a guy came in and said everything looked ok. So after a few more minutes the head doctor guy comes in and says technically I have a concussion. So no contact sports for 30 days, and no riding for a few, but when i do take it easy. My Dad asked about my car, since it takes off so hard, and he said no for about two weeks, which i dont have a race anyway so its ok.

and i dont really remember much about the accident, i just remember going up and then rolling on the ground.

so yup, i got a concussion. but at least i know i dont ride like a pussy


****edit*****

Its kinda sad that everybody in the hospital was SURPRISED that I was wearing a helmet, and didnt really know what a chest protector was.

So you got a concussion from landing on your butt?  Sounds like its time to pull your head out of your ass.

yea my dad said that too

he did give me an 8 on the landing though

and honestly, i wonder if the helmet did it make it a bit worse, since its an older cheaper model and its pretty heavy
