The trip out to New Mexico was very nice, we got to Ruidoso on Saturday night and Sunday we went exploring riding up in the mountains and looking around town. We decided to take a trip to Cloudcroft and Alamogordo on Monday.
We went to breakfast and had a wonderful meal went sight seeing a little bit there in Ruidoso and then headed out for Cloudcroft. Only a few miles out of town an 18 wheeler that was going to turn stopped in the road instead because a pickup was coming up on the shoulder of the road beside him.
Scott tried to stop we started sliding towards the back of the truck and swerved before hitting it. The back of the back laid over and we were sliding down and across the highway.
Scott's left leg came off his peg and and slammed my leg between him and the bike, that popped the bike back upright and Scott was able to get control and get us stopped on the side of the road.
It felt like my leg was broken. It was so painful, took a trip to the Emergency Room and had X-Rays done they said it wasn't broken gave me crutches and pain pills. The rest of the trip I spent in pain, hopped up on pain pills and terrified to ride the bike, which by the way I had no choice in since that is how we got to New Mexico.
The trip home was the worst I was scared to death and in a tremendous amount of pain.
I have not been back on the back since we got home. I don't know that I will ever get back on, I am just so afraid.
It has been 3 weeks and my leg is still bruised and I still have quite a bit of pain. I went for a follow up with my doctor and he did X-Rays it is not broken but he said I have a deep bone bruise and it will take up to 6 weeks for it to feel back to normal.
