Leonard Hazard was the King, no doubt about it. Lots of people were telling him he was so good at all of the extreme sports that he should be in national competition.
What he loved was his skateboard, he could do things on it that appeared to be impossible.
There was even a local competition which he had won so easily it wasn't even a competition really, when he went up the ramp and caught air he was a good two feet higher than anyone else.
They even had an announcer that day, screaming about him, calling him "Hazard!" over the loudpeaker.
The nickname stuck.
One day he was at the park, a set of concrete stairs went down halfway, then made a sharp turn. A heavy steel railing ran down beside it, Leonard could come flying up to the top, somehow land on the railing. When he hit the turn he just tipped into it, then sailed off the end.
Sometimes he would do a spin, sometimes he would just grab air and reach down to hold the board.
Easy stuff.
He had made the run at least a dozen times before, then one morning he arrived at the park and May Lou Hansen was there.
She was barely eighteen, already she had a set of boobs that were impossible to hide. Mary Lou was just one year younger than him, in her senior year in high school.
She clapped as he ran down through the concrete section, getting very high in the air each time.
Leonard really liked Mary Lou, he decided to impress her, so he went up to the park up above and began the long run down to the handrail. He landed perfectly, completely in control.
When he hit the turn, he tipped into it, with timing that was spot on, preparing himself to do the full flip and land on his feet at the bottom, right in front of her.
Something caught his wheel, he tried to recover but then he was off.
The drop was a full eight feet, he tried to roll but never made it.
The world went dark.
The lights were very bright when he woke up, no idea at all where he was. Then he saw a shadow, it became a face looking down at him.
"Well! Good morning, young man!" A female voice said.
"Where am I?" He asked.
"You are in the hospital, it seems you had a nasty fall." Leonard tried to remember, something about being on the railing was in his head but that was all.
They brought him some food, he started to sit up but something had him tied down. He looked down and saw both of his arms were in casts to his shoulders, there was some kind of heavy bandage on his left shoulder. Looking down, one leg was in a cast, it stuck out of the covers, held up with a sling of some kind.
The nurse touched a button and the bed tilted forward. Then she began to feed him with a spoon.
"I can do it!" He protested.
"Actually, you can't, honey." She smiled, shoving another spoonful into his mouth.
Later, he took stock of things, and it wasn't good. Both wrists shattered, his right leg and knee broken, a broken collarbone. Plus four cracked ribs, which he discovered quickly when he tried to roll over slightly.
They had his arms crossed over his stomach, and the cast was one piece. He could not move his arms at all, plus his leg was strapped up in the air.
That afternoon a Doctor came in, looked him over.
"How long am I stuck here?" Leonard asked.
"About 3 weeks before we can change the casts on your arms, then another 3-4 weeks after that. Your leg can come down in 3 weeks, too."
"That long?"
"Yes, I am afraid so. You really made quite a mess of yourself, you were in surgery for over 8 hours repairing your wrists."
"Am I going to recover?" He asked.
"I don't know, son. It's going to take some time at least. I doubt you will ever get on that skateboard of yours again with that knee." The Doctor said, peering through his glasses at some papers.
Then he left.
That night he was lying there, his Mom and his brother had just left. He heard a voice at the door.
"Can I come in?" He looked up and saw it was Mary Lou. Now that was a surprise, he had maybe said four words to her in his life.
"Sure, come on in." Leonard was actually pleased that she was there.
Mary lou sat down in the chair by his bed, her hands in her lap.
"I wanted to tell you I am really sorry, I didn't think." She looked like she wanted to cry.
"Sorry? About what? You didn't do anything?"
"Yes, I did! I saw you coming as I got to the park. I was chewing a big wad of gum and I didn't want it in my mouth when you got there, so I stuck it on the railing, out of sight!" Now she did have tears in her eyes.
Oh.
No wonder.
"They said you could have died! It's all my fault!"
"Naw, I am pretty tough."
"Well, anyway, I wanted you to know I am really sorry. I didn't know you were going to..." She flushed, got up to leave.
"Hey, Mary Lou?"
"Yes?" She turned back.
"Will you..can you maybe come to see me...visit? I am stuck here for a long time."
"OK. I would like that. I will come by every single day!" Then she blushed again and hurried out.
She did, too. A few times she was there when his Mom dropped by, once she asked Leonard if that was his girlfriend when Mary Lou stepped out for something.
"No, just a friend, she was there the day I crashed."
All his Mom did was nod but she had a small little smile on her face.
Leonard had been stuck flat on his back for a week, other than the nurses coming in to move him and check his back, there was nothing he could do but watch TV. Every few hours they came in to remove the little bag and replace it, and reset the catheter. He really didn't like that part at all, it hurt. It was also terrible when three of them came in and lifted him carefully to use the little pot, then they washed his behind for him.
He hated that part, too. But finally the catheter came out, he just did his business in the little pot. It wasn't easy to do with his leg stuck out straight and his arms still held down flat across his stomach.
Things just plain hurt like hell if he moved very much.
Then an older woman came in, it was round 9 PM. She had a pan and some towels, she pulled on some gloves.
"I'm Alice. It's time for a wash." She announced. He hadn't seen her before, she looked to be around 45 or 50, she was slightly heavy with silver colored hair.
She tugged on some latex gloves and first washed everything she could reach around his upper body. Then she washed down his left leg, for some reason that was the only part of him that had no damage.
When she tugged up the sheet and bared his privates, Leonard flinched like he always did. He had been overly modest about that for the first few days but finally managed to get numb to it all as nurses seemed to be constantly shoving those hoses in him. Still, it was always a shock to him when they reached down and uncovered his privates like that.
He felt the warm water, then her hands washing his testicles, she even slid back his foreskin and began to wash there.
The sensation was incredible, Leonard felt himself getting an erection. He tried to make his mind go blank, thinking of everything, anything else but her hands stayed busy.
"I'm sorry." He told Alice, his face flaming.
"Relax, honey. I have seen so many of these things it doesn't bother me at all. Besides, it's a good sign, your body is getting back to normal."
Then she actually giggled. Finishing up, she mercifully tugged the sheet back in place, smiled at him and left.
Leonard lay there mortified at having gotten a huge boner at a little old lady. It was still solid as a rock, he wanted desperately to reach down and give it a few yanks, make it go away but he couldn't.
That evening when Mary Lou came in, he was still having some troubles. It didn't help at all that she wore a skirt and soft pullover top that outlined her bra clearly. She was talking about her classwork and and upcoming field trip like she usually did, all Leonard could think of was those big breasts and the short expanse of leg he could see that showed between her knee and the bottom of her skirt.
