got my shit irreparably fucked getting into a bike accident almost two months ago now ; posting my healing because i know i will eventually forget and all these pictures will be lost in my icloud void.
was going about 20mph, in the rain, down a hill around a corner; and when i realized i was going to crash the only thing i could muster to say to myself is “well this is going to suck”. woke up on the concrete to some very kind strangers helping me and was in some of the worst pain i’ve ever experienced.
lost a couple teeth & might need to lose more :( and the right side of my body is generally more achey but i’ve healed up really well all things considered. i was worried it’d be the ~end of my life as i know it~, but that’s not completely true. it was such an intense learning experience of processing grief and fear while trying to stay as positive as possible because, there really was no other way out. I thought so many of my injuries would be for forever, but i even have a little denture where my gap is now and i think my scar on my chin looks mysterious.
my partner & mommy & grandma really pulled through for me. i don’t know what i would do without them.
i had more than a couple strangers hug me while i was sobbing in dentist offices or cvs or something equivalent, everyone was so generous with me and their love. the world is a lot safer than i think and my body is a lot softer than my brain.
