Can My Luck Get Any Worse?

I know I have mentioned a little bit about Dirk's and my streak of bad luck lately. It seems to have struck again! Saturday on a whim I decided to try to ride Dirk's Bobber for the first time. I should probably mention that I have never tried to ride anything that has only two wheels by myself before except for a bicycle. His Bobber has a motor and power!!! (Okay so how many of you are saying what I am saying now...What was I thinking!?!) Well I took it around the cul-de-sac without incident so I decided to ride it up one more road to the cul-de-sac above us. I was turning it around to head back home when tragedy struck. Don't ask me what happened because I don't really know. One second I was riding the next second I was sprawled across the bike on the ground! I was going really slow luckily, but I did manage to hit my leg on the exhaust pipe. It took me a minute to realize I had burned my leg. I know in this picture it looks pretty gross!

It hurt but I didn't think much of it until this morning when it really started to hurt. I have been keeping it clean and all but I still managed to get it infected. I went to the doctor today for it and she drew a circle around the infected area. I guess it is a pretty serious burn. She put me on some antibiotics and told me to scrub, yes scrub, off the scab that has formed. I am really not looking forward to doing that. I have to keep my leg elevated and go back on Friday for a checkup. If the infection has spread they will either try a different antibiotic or put me in the hospital. The main concern right now is trying not to get staff infection. I want to keep my leg!

Now I need to sit down and have a talk with myself about doing stupid things I know I shouldn't. My nickname isn't FlapJack without a reason. I SHOULD know better then to do things that require balance! : )
