When it rains... Stay outta mud puddles

Yesterday started off as one of those days where you should have just stayed in bed. Of course, Nobody ever listens and at the end of the night you wished you had.

We had decided early this week that we would go out and ride in Kentucky, like the many times that we have. We try and do it at least once a week. Its a great place to relax, enjoy some fresh air, and have a little fun. It was just me, Willie, and Nick. I originally started off on the 250, Nick was on the 325, and Willie on the odyssey. As we got to the top of the hill the guys gunned it through a puddle. Me of course being so cautious goes through slow. We ended up at the original mud puddle where I did the first video. It was so rutted out! It had to be a good foot that nick dug out last week going through it in the odyssey. So they decided that we'd go back to the first one that we went through. Nick changed 4 wheelers, he had me drive the 325 so I could get a little speed on the puddle. The 250 get's water splashed onto it, it turns to steam and will steam your leg. Nothing to bad but it turns you pink. So nobody wants to really splash much in it lol.

So we go riding back and when I hit the mud puddle it rooster tailed up.. It was pretty fun lol. We each went several times on teh 325 and the odyssey. We would slide a little and throw water. Nothing serious at all. Until the last run. Nick decides he wants to find another puddle and he zooms off in the odyssey. Willie puts me on the 325 and he jumps on the 250. I gun it to go through the puddle and everything goes wrong. When i hit the puddle first puddle I started sliding throwing water up but when it slid into the second puddle the ass end slides up and turns the 4 wheeler side ways. As it slid I hit the slight enbankment causing the 4 wheeler to start rolling. It super girled me off the 4 wheeler into the mud. When I landed I was watching this 400 pound blue 4 wheeler coming at me. So of course I was scooting a way as fast as I can. I'm only 5'4 weighing no more than 150. Yeah sorry 4 wheeler will when. I knew if it slammed down on me, It would be horrible. Finally it stopped rolling and I looked up and was watching Willie slipping and sliding towards me. He had this horrible look on his face. He couldn't see me, so he had thought I was under the 4 wheeler.

When he got over to me, all I could really tell at the point was that I had hit my head on the ground. When it shot me off I landed on the right side of my back and shoulder. Which caused my head to just whip into the ground. I was setting up, didn't black out. He was asking me if I was hurt and then I felt the pain in my ankle. We heard Nick gunning it up the hill in the odyssey. I'm still setting in the middle of the road, the 4 wheeler is turned over, and Nick is coming at us. Willie snatched me up to get me out of the way so that if Nick was going to hit anything it would've been the 4 wheeler. Nick pops over the hill and he had thought we decided to mud wrestle! lol I guess seeing us both covered in mud might have given those who didn't see it a cause to think that. Which would've been a hell of a lot funner to have done than flipping it.

Now you got to realize that we are up in the hills of kentucky. There is no cell service, no hospital, and the only way out is the way we came in. So they was unsure on what type of damage the 325 had so they stuck me on the 250. I felt fine and the only reason why I wrecked was as willie calls it my evil conevil side had to gun it. So Willie rode in front of me on the 325 and Nick was behind me in the odyssey. They had me pretty much pinned in. Willie would randomly stop and ask me about my head and then we'd continue on. By the time we got back to where we parked. I knew i was fine. My foot sore from hitting the handle bars as I flew over was not broke and I didn't even have a headache.

I came home showered, propped my foot up with ice, and broke out the heating pad. This happened about 7:30pm and he wouldn't let me go to bed until Midnight to insure I wasn't going to start acting funny. So midnight finally rolls around, I'm soo tired. I go crawl in bed and was setting there talking to Willie when I start to black out in mid conversation! Ok, I was scared then. So off to the ER we went.


 We get there and of course they stick me in the stupid c-collar and send me down for a cat scan. Come to find out there was no bleeding or anything broken. I had a concussion from my head hitting. I got extremely lucky last night. Showed me even if I think I am all right. Still may not hurt to get looked at before you get the crap scared outta ya. There has been so many people to ignore going to the hospital after a head injury and for them it has went wrong. Granted I never had a headache but I would've been calmer if I didn't almost pass out thinking I was fine.
