Good Samaritan leaves a mark!

[Angie4b1g]

I live in a small(ish) friendly town, so I always stop if someone needs help. Yesterday a guy was trying to push his car (with gf/wife and a child inside) back into a parking lot/up a hill.

I pulled over and he said they just needed a jump start, but I said it would probably be better if we pushed it back in a bit since it was sticking out into the road.

We got the car back up and jumped and them on their way, but not before I lost my footing in the gravel on the side of the road and split my knee open.

I'll spare you the photos, but it looks like someone took a box cutter across my knee. Not deep enough to need stitches or anything, but deep enough to wake me up every time I moved last night.

I tired.

Oh... that stinks! You're not supposed to get injured helping someone out! Sorry! Get some of the Neosporin with the pain killer in it. Maybe that will help for a little while.

See what happens when you're nice to people? Let that be a lesson to ya.

 

[Roboliver]

OH NO!!!!! What a bummer! Hope you're okay!!! I still think it was nice of you to help.

 

[Trista]

argh. darn the luck. so nice of you to stop and help even though you fell and got hurt.

Ouch! Not fair! Glad you were able to help them, and I hope it heals quickly!

I hope that means you took your knee to the doc to have it checked out so you don't get an infection? Yup, that's me thinking on the Bright Side of Life! I hope it heals up soon and you can get some uninterrupted sleep!

 

[heathergw]

oh owie!!! Hope it heals up soon for you!

 

[purlz76]

Ouch! That hurts !!! Do get some proper meds to avoid infection and help in healing. Cos it'll hurt more when you use those knees.

Ha you funny. There would have to be a bone sticking out. I've worn out my welcome at urgent care. He suggested I consider a safer sport.

 

[staciahall]

LOL, Angie! It's awful that the urgent care people know you from past injuries. I hope it lets you get some sleep.

Sorry to hear about your spill. Hope the knee is mending and that you had a better night last night Angie. Let me guess...you still ran ten miles or so on it this morning!

Wounds of a good samaritan...there best cuz there is a good story behind them! I hope it heals up quickly for you!
