I was in a hurry to pick up Anju. I always rode on sidewalk. I thought cars pull out of driveway would stop and look. Then I was sided by a neighbor's car.
He wasn't going fast...lucky me. He "touched" either me or the bike on the side. I had no choice but fell...to my left...lucky me again, w/ back of head hitting ground... got helmet. At 1st I could only feel sudden and sharp pain on left elbow and couldn't get up. But, I had to get up ASAP, b/c I needed to hurry to pick up Anju. I had no time to either lecture the driver or deal w/ him. I was on my bike again w/ left elbow kinda limping. On my way to school, I started to feel more pain/sore on left side of body. No bone was broken...lucky me.
I had few minutes to ck my hurt. Left elbow had scraps and swelled and was bruised. I couldn't ck other part of body until after Anju's soccer practice. I was very touched of seeing Rajiv at the park. I think he must have picked up Akash right after my call and went see me at the park. That was very sweet of him. I am very grateful.
This was my 2nd bike accident since I started biking at age of 4 or something. Last time I went into a pothole on my way to school, and the bike was damaged. That was when I was in 7th or 8th grade, but no other vehicle involved. Hope I won't wake w/ more aches and pains tomorrow.
