I had more bike crashes than I want to admit. Trying to jump the old heavy steel 30 pound bike with a banana seat was hard. I still have many scars. I had a broken collar bone, broken arm and the worst was a smashed right big toe. My toe was broken in 6 places. I was in a cast up to my knee for that one.
One bike crash was so bad it took all my effort possible to get back on the bike and pedal right to the base hospital. I knew it was pointless to go home first and home was further away. I went walking in dripping blood. The lady in line in front of me with a stuffy nose pointed at me and said "he needs help more than me" but all they would do was put me in a room and hand me bandages to stop dripping on the floor. When my parents were called and gave permission to treat me they attacked me with what felt like Clorox and steel wool to get the dirt out. The gave me a stick to bite on.
I never had any stitches until I had moved away from home.
