So B-rad left town on Thursday morning to go to North Carolina to ride his motorcycle on a super important curvy road with his buddies. I had big, BIG plans of doing absolutely nothing alllll weekend.
I took off work Friday & did a few things (that I will blog about eventually...). I got home around 630 & was prepared for an evening of riveting tv watching. And then that all changed...
I don't want to go into too many details to respect others' privacy. We all know I have no shame, but not everyone is like me.
One of B-rads buddies crashed...bad. Cell phone service there is non-existent so it was extremely difficult to get information. The buddy was taken to the hospital by ambulance. Long story short, the buddy got discharged from the hospital in Tennessee... B-rad headed north & his wife & I started heading south to get him home to see a surgeon here. We left at midnight last night & picked him up around 330am in Knoxville. B-rad headed back south (he had 2 other guys that went with him on the trip) & we headed back north. We got him to the hospital around 8am. She took me back to my car after he was admitted & I got home around 1030 this morning.
If you've lost track-I was up for 28 hours. Pahhh. Y'all know how I like my sleep. The drive between 5am & 7 am was the hardest. I came home & ate some breakfast & went to bed. I was able to sleep for about 6 hours & now I'm talking to you. B-rad & his buddies cut the trip short & are on their way home now. He should be home sometime after midnight. I know he is mentally & physically exhausted as he was right was behind his buddy & had a front row seat to the crash.
Now-let's talk about the elephant in the room. Everyone has their opinions of motorcycles...even me. (and my opinions will probably surprise you.) B-rad & his buddies wear gear from head to toe. His buddies injuries are considerably minor considering the accident.
I have not forgotten about your questions on the farm. Promise.
Please say a prayer for our friend & his family. He's going to have a long recovery. Thank you.
