The Horrible Wreck I Will Never Forget.

We were at the Albany Motorcross track last night. My husband and some friends from his work were riding on practice night. I was reading my new book and heard commotion in front of me on the track. I looked up and saw someone lodged under the chainlink fence and wrapped around the pole. I jumped up and said that guy is hurt. I need to help him. So I ran up to him and pulled fence up and ducked under it to keep it off of him. His legs and torso were wrapped around the pole and stuck under the fence. I looked at his legs and t hey weere twitching really bad. Then I saw them. The pants I know the pants.

Then I looked over to my right and saw the bike and it was his. OMG it is Mel. It is Mel my husband. I tried to get the goggles off his helmet to see if he was dead or alive. He wasn't moving except fo rhis legs twitching. Then I felt a tap on my shoulder and he said Mam can I get in there please. I said yes, Oh please help him. Then someone asked me do you know him? I said yes it is my husband. It took about 8 to 10 minutes for him to get up and walk off the track. He wass white as a sheet of paperr. He looked like he was going to hit the ground any minute. The medic would leave our side. Mel kept saying I am fine. For my benefit I am sure. He didn't sit down for a couple of minutes. Then he sat down and said I just need to lay down.At tha time his body started to convulse and his head went limp and he was out. He did this 2 times. I finally said call 911 he need shlp. The Medic called for the other medic to come over with their bag of supplies. His pulse waas tack and irregular. He was cold and clammy to the touch. His back was bleeding but there wasn't a cut on some of the places where he was seeping blood.

The ambulance got there and took his blood pressure and it was 80 over??? it wasn't readying the blood pressure on the bottom numbeer. They were concerned he had internal bleeding to his vital organs. They said sir you need to go to the hospital. He said that is fine. My wife will drive me. I will not have that bill. I said Oh, No you don't. I will not have you die on my driving down I-5 interstate. That is not fair. I got the number to the hospital and had the guys load his bikes onto the truck. I had no Idea where I was going. I got lost and went to the wrong hospital and then they directed me to the Corvallis hospital. I got there and he was doing better. All in all he was okay except for really bad contusions on his back and whiplash. He even went to work the next 2 days. He could hardly move he was in so much pain.

HI Sherry,
 
I am really glad that your husband was fine and nothing serious happened to him.
 
Please don't take this the wrong way, but were you trying to be funny with the misspelled words? It seemed to me that it was done maybe on purpose and for a reason, but am missing what ever it is your trying to do.

No tell me what misspelled words? I am a really good speller for the most part. Sorry to have offended.

Hi Sherry,
 
I'm not offended in anyway. I just thought you were trying to be funny and I missed what you were attempting to do. If you re-read the article I'm sure you will see them. I didn't comment on this to hurt you or because I was offended. I'm sorry if it came off that way. Like I said, I thought you were trying to be funny and I missed it.
 
Have a nice day!!!!! Your article was great, I'm sorry if I offended you.
