So, this wasn't today, but Sunday last week. Riding through a park in downtown Portland with a few friends, probably doing about 20-25-ish, went straight off an 8-stair that I didn't see until it was too late. Cleared them all by about 30', hit the ground and went straight over the front. Hit the ground right shoulder and ear first, and almost completely ripped my right ear off my head.

Taken to the ER and spent about 21 hours at OHSU, surgical re-attachment of my right ear and 8 stitches over my right eye. Severed all of the nerves in my ear so I no longer feel any pain in it or have much sensation (sorry ear nibbler girls, stick to the left), and ripped almost all the cartilage in my ear away from my skull, so the reattachment is mostly flesh alone, but they were also able to reattach all of the blood vessels and restore normal circulation so I hopefully shouldn't lose any of it.

I'll post pre and post recovery pics when I'm back at home on my laptop. There's some on my Instagram tho, [MENTION=67200]wheel[/MENTION]ed.mercenary.

Oh, and my Leader 725 was unscathed. Eat it, haters.
