After my surgery I resolved that I was going to try new activities that I have never tried before, this week I decided to ride a mechanical bull. It didn't end well. My actual injuries were not caused by riding the bull, but by the operator shoving me over the ring around the bull before the air mat was blown up. I smashed face first (from a distance of about three feet) into the concrete floor. By smashing I mean I hit the floor nose and forehead first and then since my face was plastered to the rubber, wrenched my neck when the rest of me came down. Though I am covered with some narly looking bruises, I will share the ones to my face, since they best document my stupidity. I had two drinks and a full meal before doing this, so alcohol was not a factor in this injury. I apologize that there are no pictures of my face while riding the bull, I didn't stay on long enough for my friend to catch a shot of my face. I did enjoy my two second ride, but I'm not sure I need to do it ever again. I can however cross smashing into concrete face first and riding the mechanical bull off of my bucket list :-)
I swear the beverage in my hand is unsweetened ice tea.
Mounting a Mechanical Bull is harder than it looks. I'm going to get a thigh master before I even consider doing this again!
It looked like such a tiny scratch.
This is before the pain set in and I still thought it was funny!
Then the swelling started!
So off to the hospital we went!
First night home from the hospital.
First night another angle.
Second night, there are bruises forming under my eyes, but they are hard to see on here.
Day Three!
