Crash & burn

Yesterday was a very adventurous day to say the least. I was rollerblading along a trail(s) that runs 40 miles or so along the coast and wasn't to familiar with the trail at all. To make a long story short, I decided to be daring and take a different route back in hopes that it would led me back to where I needed to be. I found out a little to late that the trail was not rollerblading friendly (slope wise) and it was to late to turn around. I was going down super fast when I freaked out and majorly crashed and fastly slid a good amount down the rough cement. First of all, I was happy I was able to get up but the skin on my palm is pretty screwed up and has a nasty wound. My favorite workout pants had a big hole ripped in them right below my butt cheek and the bottoms of my pant where all shredded. The skin on my outer thigh is pretty screwed up as well. The skate back to the car was a pretty humbling experience with a big hole in my pants around the butt area along with a palm dripping w/ blood. I was hoping that a cutie would see me and feel sorry for me and ask me if I needed any help, but I didn't get lucky. I didn't realize till I got home how bad it was. I have a high tolerance for pain but I was hurting pretty bad. I was pleading out to God to help me through it. I started to get scared because I was pretty sure that both of the wounds were infected. I went to the doctor today and sure enough they were.

This whole experience is frustrating. I'm just glad though that I didn't get severely injured because the potential was there.
