Has anyone noticed that when you are unconscious it is always better to wake up in a hospital instead of right back on the road where you crashed your bike? I did, and so did this Ambulance Service. Story time now, take a seat kids. I was walking home from middle school with my friend from up the street when I realized that I had a trumpet lesson in about 45 minutes and needed to get home as soon as possible. I had a bike basket that was attached over the back wheel of my bike at the time an I had put my World Civilization book in with my trumpet. As soon as I remembered the lesson I told my friend that I had to go and get home soon. So I started bookin’ it down the sidewalk. The only problem was that I had to go around these two girls that where also walking away from the school and going in the same direction. Instead of asking to go by I jumped the bike onto the ground next to the sidewalk, not knowing that it had just been repaved and the lip on the sidewalk was much bigger than I previously remembered. When I passed these two girls I tried to get back up on the sidewalk. This is when the problems started. What I concluded from the proceeding accident, by the paint smears on the fence that I hit with my helmeted head, was that the back wheel never made it to the sidewalk again. Instead the bike dropped me by fish tailing me into the fence on my right. And the last thing I remember was trying to push myself up to get up and go home, not realizing that I was very hurt or that the two girls I just courteously passed were laughing at me. This was just great, because apparently the only person that cared for what I did was the friend that I just left in the dust. So being unconscious I can only assume what my friend told me is true, but one of the substitute teachers picked me up and put me in his car. A stupid but very nice decision because I could have had neck injuries. And when I went back to the middle school Pathways Ambulance picked me up and brought me to the hospital where I woke up like a dream in an all white hospital room with my family walking in to greet me. Overall, even though unconscious Pathways did bring me from Grafton to Worcester and did have the foresight to put me in a neck brace, the service I can only assume to be great because I got there safely.
