ID alert and MRI

Took a little spill last week when I was out running. Kind persons hauled my body off the road and called an ambulance when the bleeding wouldn't stop. I hit hard enough to knock the race cuff off my wrist, with my phone and house key. No ID, insurance card, or pm card. Why would I take those on a run? I think a road ID is a good idea if you don't have an MRI compatible pm. I was still bleeding in the ER, couldn't see through the blood and my glasses got wrecked. They took me to imaging and as dazed as I was I kept saying no MRI! No MRI! They did a CT instead.
This tumble left me with a painful concussion, facial lacerations, abrasions, contusions, and a detached vitreous (part of the eye). Also some wrist, knee, and ankle sprains, wrist and knee abrasions, and contusions on the knee I had surgery on a few weeks ago. I'm getting a road ID solely to let the powers that be know I don't have an MRI compatible pm. BTW, the world still looks pretty good with just a view from the left eye. 7 miles today, no spills:)

To you too. I remember reading that you lost a daughter. I hope your memories bring you comfort today. They are always with us in our hearts.
My kids suggested a helmet and bubble wrap for Mother's Day gifts. Very funny.

Thanks

Hi Boston,

Sorry to hear of your latest misadventure, take Grateful Heat's advice and treat yourself to some chocolate covered strawberries, or salted carmels.

I hope you had a really nice Mother's Day!!!

Drink you water!!!
