1 1/2 weeks ago. I was at the MX track. Last thing I remember is
landing a jump, it was a long one and I landed just like I wanted. Next
thing I know I'm sitting at my truck in a daze.

The girlfriend was there and watching me. There were some good ruts
developing after the jump from recent rains. She said I landed the jump
fine, hit those ruts and the bike shot out from under me slicker than ***
through a goose. I then separated from said bike and did a grand impression
of a lawn dart into the berm. She said I bounced up in the air several feet
and landed on my stomach with my head over the berm and feet still on the
track and didn't move. Says I was out about 5 minutes. A doc was out
riding and checked me out, told her what to watch for.

As of today the head is fine, not problems like I had last time I knocked
myself out. But my right shoulder hurts like a mother.

Bike is ok after I straightened the sub frame.

Missing about an hour that I know I'll never get back.

Did the "doc" leave his name? I'm a firm believer in going to the ER
for any concussion especially one that knocks you out. Any tingling
in the limbs? Any nausea? Did you start mumbling nonsense any more
than normal?

I'll let anything other than brain stuff wait until Monday if it's not
all that bad, but cranial crap goes straight to the hospital.
