Ouch!

So I got into my first bike accident today. I was trying to ride down the big hill from my place down to the park my husband and I have been frequenting ever since I've learned to ride a bike. There's this pretty decent sized bike path that's about 8 miles long! ^.^ Anyways, as I was riding down the hill, I crashed into a pole, and I kind of flew from my bike onto the cement. :( I scraped up my left hand and elbow pretty badly and also, I can barely use my arms. I think I may have hit a nerve in my elbows, mainly on my right side, because I really can't lift up my arm up to my mouth. It made eating dinner a little difficult. :P It's even a bit hard for me to type right now. :(  I forgot how badly it can hurt to get injured like this. I haven't experienced this sort of pain since I was a kid! It makes me remember when I first fell off my scooter. I hit my elbow so bad that my arm was super swollen for days. >.< Hopefully this time around it won't be that bad.

I can't wait to heal up. I'm kind of disappointed we weren't able to ride our bikes today like we planned. :( I also hope that my scrapes don't scar. D: I think that's actually my biggest concern over anything, oddly enough. Looks like neosporin is going to be my best friend for awhile... -_- Anyways, time to give my arms a break...er.... rest. It would be good for me to try to speed up my healing process as quickly as possible, for my sake, and for my poor hubby. He's been feeling pretty bad about the whole incident and has been really attentive to me because he feels that somehow this was all inadvertently his fault, even though I've told him it isn't at all. :( Still, in a way I feel lucky that he cares about my well-being so much! He really is such a sweetheart! <3 If anything, that makes me feel loads better already! ^_^

I Finally Have a Bike of My Own!

It's not the hot pink Hello Kitty one I originally wanted, but I actually like this one a lot better. It's a Schwinn bike, and it's a much prettier shade of pink in my opinion. ^.^ I also love how it has a sort of retro look to it! x3



I absolutely love it! It's perfect for me! This was the kind of bike I originally had in mind when I was shopping for one. I'm so glad I was able to find it. ^_^  Also, to get my little Hello Kitty fix, I ordered a metal Hello Kitty decal from amazon.com to stick on it! :3 It's actually a decal for cars, but I figured if it could work on a car, it should be able to work on a bike, right?
