rough day.
went out to hit the snow before it turned to rain. i started off by exploring some deer trails i spotted while playing cameras the other day, and found some really cool lines that till be tested when theyre not covered in ice and glaciers
then i decided to quit screwing around in the reeds and just ride my damn bike, came upon my friend who apparently had texted me just after i left, but i didnt hear my phone go off in my bag. my friend was walking, so i come up to him and ask whats happenin? he had just eaten it on a board and landed on his right asscheek pretty hard, and was havin trouble pedaling up hills. he tells me to pass him as hes gonna be going slow, so i said ill meet him at the top of the hill as i snacked on some food.
he gets to the top and i can see hes hurting bad, he tells me to go on ahead and i tell him "screw that ill stay with you back to your car". i asked him how bad it was and he said "oh ill probably be going to the hospital when i get back in my car". for the next hour or so we trudge through the snow till its flat enough for him to pedal again, off/on/off/on, but his adrenaline is wearing off and the pain is getting worse and worse. it gets to the point where i have to carry him up a couple roots and rocks and steep hills. finally we get through all the ups and bumps and i think he had talked himself out of the hospital at some point. we roll up to his car and he says "so whatcha think, should i go to the hospital?" i tell him "yeah, i that would probably be a good idea, call the wife and daughter first to tell them the deal" (theyre both in medical field), then let me know whats happening later.
wife called me while i was thawing out my toes in the shower, (i didnt lose any today, but i think i came close. i need to quit dickin around and get me some wolvhammers) and says he got home safely but hes in a lot of pain so theyre "figuring out what to do next" which means "convince him to actually go to the hospital". currently awaiting response, most likely went to hosp. hopefully he didnt break anything, though if he broke anything in the pelvic region he wouldnt be moving and doing nothing but screaming in pain. thank god i decided to take the longer route as im not quite sure he wouldve made it back to his car alone, oof!
