I am so glad that I finally got to meet all of you on Friday. I took your cards home and read them. Hopefully I know a little bit more about you now. There were questions on some of your cards that I didn't get to answer, so I'll answer them here:
- How old are you? Um... old enough to be a parent, but young enough to not be a grandparent.
- Are you going to buy a new motorcycle? Not for a while.
- Who drove you here? Me. I can still drive a car.
- How many bones did you break? I broke two bones: my radius and the tibial plateau. (Remember when I said I'd throw big words at you? There are a couple. If you're reading this on my blog, then you're a Google search away from learning those!) I also dislocated my ulna.
- Was it cool up there? Oh, absolutely yes! My friend and I rode right up to the base of Mt. St. Helens. The views along the way were incredible!
- Who was taking the pictures: Three of the pictures were taken by the paramedic who treated me on the scene. Most of the others were taken by my wife.
- Were you awake when you drove in the ambulance to the doctors? Yes, and I was talking to my family and friends on the phone.
- How did you go to the bathroom? Really??? Here's how you can answer that one. First, drink several glasses of water. Then tape a cardboard tube around your left leg and put a sock on your right hand. Wait for nature to take its course and see what solution you come up with. You'll find a way!
- Did you cry when you had the accident? No, but after a few weeks of not being able to walk, go places, or play with my friends, I did get pretty sad.
- Does your knee still hurt? Yes, but not too bad. It feels like the doctor hit me with his reflex hammer a little too hard.
- Were you worried? I was more worried about things I couldn't do, like mow the lawn, drive my kids to practice and teach.
- Did you make the boat? Yes. Well... I'm making the boat. It's not quite finished yet.
- Is the crash test dummy outside real? No. It's just a poster.
- Did you ever play video games? Yes, but probably not as much as you. I like Guitar Hero and Mario Cart.
- How much money do you make? A bazillion dollars an hour. Enough to afford a Scion. Not enough to afford a BMW.
- Do you like peanuts? Yes, and peanut butter.
