Getting Injured.

[Paul Stanley]

I got off so much easier thatn any of you guys that i almost dont want to write it.
I had a rail slam at the beginning of the season last year. Just going up for one of my first slides of the year and caught an edge. fell forward and hit the side of my head and blanked out for a second. "woke "up on the ground with my head hurting. Yes I had a helmet on. Did the contest with a splitting headache and drove home ready to kill my head. then while riding pipe I hit a little rut and felt a little itty bitty tug in my left knee. As I landed in the tranny I felt a burning feeling in my knee that got worse and worse down the pipe. Found out I pulled the tendon or ligament that keeps your kneecap on and it had little rips in it. I got to wear a nifty little velcro brace on my knee for awhile and now its ok. Stretch kids..itll do wonders for you.

I did it in Columbus, OH at the Aspen Ski and Board Rail Jam... They're saying 4 weeks, the blood should clear by then. I went to the ER last night because I was coughing up blood, turns out I punctured a lung too. They put a chest tube in me to make sure I had a clear path to breathe. I'm on a lot of pain meds right now. Oh well, four weeks isn't bad, I may do some light riding over thanksgiving weekend if my follow-up goes well in a week.
