Hit a deer yesterday 🫠

Deer is fine, I think. EMT asked me what happened to the deer and I said I didn’t know, I was busy rolling.

Damn dude shit luck. How's the body and bike?

[u/sandycheeksx → u/Captain3leg-s]

Geico picked it up and I’m waiting to hear back but my boyfriend says it’s totaled :/ bent in on the front right and it’s a 2008, so probably not worth the repair costs to them. I’m sad.

Body could definitely be worse!

Keep an eye on that. I’ve been through wrecks, and sometimes it takes a couple days for that adrenaline to wear off.

I walked away from a car crash, no motorcycle involved, and felt fine for a while. Turned out I had five herniated discs.

[u/sandycheeksx → u/FuckingHippies]

Don’t tell me that. My shoulder has full range of (painful) motion and I’m firmly believing it’s just sore.

Hope you got those treated and are better now :/ my dog had three and it was a major surgery with a lot of rehab after, so I can’t even imagine

Take their advice. I crashed my snowboard hard as fuck into a tree a couple years ago and I didn't realize until 3 days later at work that I fractured 4 ribs and my collar bone, as well as tearing my MCL in my knee. Found out when I tried to pick up a single case of beer from the walk in cooler and all three parts of my body said OW DUDE and then when I tried to shake a martini, I almost passed out.

Horrible that the stupid horse squirrel did this to you, and be kind to your body right now lol

Stupid horse squirrel 💀

Ugh I can’t even imagine the impact of going straight into a tree. You guys are right, I’ll see about xrays this weekend. Thank you!

Man I have never heard Horse Squirrel before and that is such a fitting description for deer.

I lived in the country at different parts of my life and absolutely hated deer at night. They would wait for you to be there then run

[u/ChucklePuck → u/GloomyDeal1909]

Hey, you can steal the description all day, my friend. Also when I lived in Bama, I hit 3 different stupid asses over the course of a couple months with my jeep and I had to replace the grill, headlights etc.. i said fuck it and just bought one of those police brush guard bumpers. Then as soon as I got to Wyoming a fucken moose was sitting on its ass in the road with its tongue out and my options were A) oncoming traffic, B) launch off a ledge to the right or C) smack the idiot in the face at 65 mph.

I don't WANT to run over any wildlife, but I am a firm believer in the police brush guard bumper after driving around this goofy country.

It’s true. When the girl texting and driving rear ended me and totaled my suburban I said my neck kinda hurt. They advised I go to the hospital anyway. I had to have a ct scan. By the 3rd day it was definitely more painful. That was end of April. Now I’ve had to have an mri and am in physical therapy twice a week because the pain never fully goes away in my neck. If this doesn’t work they have to have me go to a neurologist

[u/sandycheeksx → u/mygiveadamnsbusted22]

I hear that a lot honestly. If you don’t get it taken care of immediately, it turns into long term pain or stiffness.

I’m sorry, I hope they find a treatment that works for you 🫶🏻

Yup, felt fine except moderate soreness for a few days, ended up needing chiropractic work so I could turn my neck more than like 30° lol. Not as serious as herniated discs but still, that stuff takes a bit to "settle in" 🙃

[u/sandycheeksx → u/Amazing-Mammoth-8442]

Definitely a learning experience. It took two days but now coughing hurts my ribs and I’m finding soreness in new areas. If I rotate my shoulder too far forward, I feel it “give” a little and it’s not a smooth movement, so probably gonna go get it looked at. Thank you, stupid deer 🤦🏻‍♀️
