My bat, big ass tractor, ran over me. No bones were broken but I have some cracked ribs. The front tire done that. The back tire got my lower stomach and the bat, big ass threads, swallowed me up some and twisted me around so the implement wheels could run over my hip-section. I lay there hurting watching my tractor run on out of sight. Way over. Getting stuffed down in the soft dirt helped hold down serious damage.
My neighbor to the North saw the tractor going across into his field and run into a bank and stop, trying to run up the bank. He turned it off and seeing the tracks went looking for me. He found me near the road. I was in the hospital almost three days while they looked to see what the damage was. Cracked ribs and lots of bruises, deep ones.
I could hardly walk so they got me some crutches. It's not easy but I can get there if I take my time. Sometimes I do without. I get to rest and watch tv a lot and sit outside in the sun. Crops are in and I'm ready for winter so nothing pressing to do.
My son Wylie drove me home from the hospital and came over again the next day and we had a nice weekend. His mom passed a while back and he was worried about me being alone. Doctors said my lower back needs to heal and hip joints and ribs and to take it real easy for a few months so as not to cause further damage. I think that's mostly to find out if there's any permanent damage.
A couple of days later my son stopped in again and brought Kaitlyn, his wife, my daughter-in-law. She's a fine young lady with good character. She spent most of the time doing stuff around the house,. Not cleaning. I have someone in once a week for that. I find little things she did days later. Always a smile, always a hug. She calls me by my name, Robert, as mutually agreed upon.
I'm 52 years old so sitting around doing nothing isn't good for my legs or anything else except what's healing. Kaitlyn has been coming over and massaging from my knees down to my ankles and she was doing my arms but I can do my arms and do. She really helps my legs. It's been some time since I've had a woman around so I've been monitoring myself so I don't become a bap, big ass pain.
I think she knows that and I said something to her about it and she ignored me mostly but did give me a nice smile. The next time she wore a short wind blowing skirt and we were outside and it blew around. It took almost 15 minutes before the wind got her skirt up enough for me to see her pants. They were light blue and just beautiful. She grabbed her skirt and held it down but the next time she was a little slower and I saw them again.
We sat outside eating scones holding the plates with one hand and eating with the other. After a while when the wind blew her skirt around she either didn't care or didn't notice. It was just the best time I can remember for a while. I got the feeling she wore that skirt just for me. If so it was nice of her. For a girl of 19 she seems more grown up than normal for her age.
Wylie called and said he and Kaitlyn would be over on Saturday. They got here about twelve thirty in the afternoon and we had lunch. They brought it with them. Kaitlyn had a little hand satchel with her.
Wylie said, "Kaitlyn and I stopped and talked to the doctor at the hospital. He gave us some suggestions and guidelines and Kaitlyn is going to give you some help. She brought some stuff with her and she'll show you that. It might help some. I'll stop over tomorrow." He checked around the property to see if anything needed doing right away. He left after about an hour.
Kaitlyn finished up in the kitchen and said, "We might as well get started. Would you change into some short or long pajamas or something loose and light, no underwear please. Your work pants are just too thick." With that she smiled wickedly and helped me up on my crutches, kind of close in. Kaitlyn never did mind or notice if she brushed her breasts against you and she did. I've found a lot of ladies are like that.
Kaitlyn was in the breezeway. It was fairly large in the breezeway. We used it for a conduit between one of the garages and the house. Nice in the summer and essential in the winter. Kaitlyn had one of the long and wide loungers almost flat with a quilt on it. She took the crutches and got me down on my stomach.
"Robert," she said. "I'm going to massage your arms and from about the middle of your hips down to your ankles. The doctor said not to go above the middle of your hips because of your ribs and not to use the higher setting until I'm a little lower. I'm going to start with your arms." I didn't know what she meant by 'higher setting'.
With the lounger wide she could sit on either side and I could stretch out fully with my head on a pillow. I could easily look around and see her on either side. She opened her satchel and took out an electric cord and plugged it in and got out one of those barber automatic head massagers. The one with springs to put your hands through and a heavy rubber buffer for the back of your hand.
She put a sock on her hand and pushed her hands through the springs and plugged it in and sat near one arm and turned it on. She started near my shoulder and pressed it in. The thing felt so good I took a deep breath. I could feel her fingers pushing in between whatever was beneath my skin and my arm was like wet spaghetti, totally relaxed.
It wasn't too loud and Kaitlyn worked all the way around, all the way down to my hands. I had on a t-shirt and she pushed it up to my shoulder. When she finished she did the other arm then came back to the first. She threw a switch and did the arm again but at a higher speed. This time she did a job on my arm. When she finished I didn't have a lot of control with it and just let it lay there. She did the other arm the same.
She said, "I'm surprised at how much bruising there is. You're black and blue on your arms." I always had a long sleeve shirt when she and Wylie came over so they wouldn't be worried about it. She said, "Are you like that down through your hips and legs?"
"Bab," I said. "Big ass bruises"
"Big is ok," she said. "Ass is ok. Bruises are not."
