When I was sixteen, I went ice skating and I haven't
skated in many years. After only about fifteen minutes, the thought went
through my mind, "Heck, I'm doing pretty good for all of the years that I
haven't skated."
So I tried some fancy stuff. I skated as fast as I
could and was going to do a slide to the left, making the ice fly as my
skates skidded sideways shaving the top ice layers off of the surface. At
the last second, I changed my mind, I will do it to the right.
The skates shot out from under me and I hit my
shoulder on the ice so hard that I literally seen five sided stars. I broke
my collar bone, but didn't realize it at the time. I was hurt so bad that I
knew if I didn't get up right now, that I wouldn't be able to get up. I
didn't mention that I was the only person on the ice and that it was real
late at night.
So I got up and started heading for home. I didn't
feel like looking for or even changing my shoes, so I climbed over the
barbed wire fences and walked home in my skates.
The next day I knew that there was a real problem so I
went to the doctors office and told them that I broke my collar bone the day
before. The nurse kind of chuckled as if I was just over reacting because
if I broke my collar bone the night before, I would have really been
complaining then.
When I took off my shirt, her eyes opened up because
you could see the bone trying to push through the skin. It was obviously
broken. She had now confirmed the problem and sent me to the emergency
room.
I sat in the emergency room for about an hour with a
lot of other people. One was a beautiful girl with a mini skirt, showing a
lot of leg. A doctor walked by the waiting room and seen her too and walked
in and started rubbing her legs all the way to, you know where. He said
where does it hurt. She replied that it was her boyfriend that was hurt and
she was just sitting in the waiting room. The doctor was a sly dirty old
man.
Shortly after that the nurse called me into the
examination room. In fact it was the X-Ray room. The nurse looked at my
shoulder and seen that there was indeed a problem. She next told me to take
off ALL of my clothes and lay on the table. So I did what she said. She
walked out of the room and left the door open. Time after time the Candy
Stripers would walk by and look into the room. This went on for about an
hour. They looked in so much and so long that I was getting excited myself.
Then the nurse came back and took X-Rays of my
shoulder.
What it comes down to was that these people were
messing around, if you know what I'm talking about.
