Appendages

Hunger. It’s late and you feel like eating some ice cream. Except you don’t have any at your apartment.
Leave. Hop on your bike and start riding to Walmart to pick up some Blue Bell. Mmmm. Homemade Vanilla and strawberries.
Crash. The car that ran the red-light and broadsided you. And your bike. And now you’re tangled up with a street sign.
Crushed. Your foot. Your chest. You dreams?
So that’s what happened to DJ Jackson in Bryan, Texas on Friday, November 18th. Everything, except his dreams were crushed. Luckily he had a helmet on, and he survived the accident. But his lower right leg was amputated.
All things considered, he is doing well. He’s groggy from the morphine, but he looks okay. And what does he have to take from this accident: a broken arm, broken ribs, internal trauma, and a missing leg.
But still no ice cream with strawberries.
Hmm.
