Random Rant of an Imaginative Nurse

So, in my previous photo challenge blog entry, you saw that my brother, dad and I enjoyed a pleasant day outside in the park. What you didn't see is that the disc golf course wound through a BMX bike track. Now this seems innocent enough, but the BMX bike track looked like it sat on a public dump. I decided the park should be called "Cervical Injury and Tetanus Waiting to Happen."

Let me show you:

When I would bike to elementary school, I would pass the BMX track on Reserve St in Boise. It is no longer there, but several of its marks are still visible on my body. I would psych myself up sitting at the top of the track, finally convince myself I could do it, roll down the first ramp and promptly wreck by the bottom of the second hill. I would then hide my injury and limp/bike home...defeated by a few bumps once again. Walking through this Utah track just made me shudder. One of the worst things about being a nurse is that you can LITERALLY imagine the worst - and you're not always imagining. Often, I've SEEN the worst!
