I broke my bike and back at the same time

[BACARDI_DWB]

sunday, i went riding my quad on some pretty good trails. well i came up to this one a little too hot, well i ended up hitting it with a compressed suspension and the rear end popped up and proceded to fire me off the quad 20-30 feet onto my side onto hard ground. i believe the quad followed me after hitting a few walls and making the axle look like a horse shoe. so i got hit by my own quad. so after a painful ride to the hospital and many x-rays later they tell me that i fractured 3 vertibrae's (sp) and i also fractured many parts of my pelvis. so now i am only allowed to ride my bed for the next 8-10 weeks. i was extremely lucky that i was not injured further and really have to thank my close friends for helping me out and especially my new bride erin. she has been a perfect saint thru this whole ordeal. makes me really happy that i married her even thou she probelly is ready to trade me in for a new one since i broke only after 3 months of marriage, sorry honey no warranty. well i am alive and that is the best i can ask for. my wife is the one that is going thru the hardest time taking care of my crimpled ass, i get the life, i sit in bed all day, surfing the internet and taking in pain pills. she has to do all the grunt work.
