Thursday, December 24, 2009

• Turned on the snowboard (yesh, I did it!)
• Forgot the brakes were in the front, not the back
• Flipped backwards
• Hit my ass
• Hit my head
• Sat there in the snow for not sure how long
• Friend found me
• I started feeling queasy and threw up about 5 times
• Couldn't see anything (hit the back of my head, the part that controls vision)
• Fire department came to the rescue
• Got snowmobiled down the mountain (very bumpy)
• Had my first ambulance ride
• Stayed for a few hours at Emergency Room #1, got my brain scanned
• Diagnosis: bleeding in brain, got anti-seizure IV pumped into me (that shit burns!)
• Got helicoptered (which was friggen awesome!) to Emergency Room #2 (a bigger hospital)
• Stayed 2 nights, milked my health insurance for some 5 years of monthly payments
• Denied food and water for first night (that was just Evil), but got ice chips from the nice male nurse
• Learned all the functions of the buttons of the latest hospital beds
• Got some freebie novels to read, courtesy of the hospital library
• Spent last night in hospital hotel (fully-equipped with 24-hour nurse service, personal shower/bathroom, TV, food, and pain-killers by needlepoint)

My name is Jay Lee, and I am currently an undergraduate student at a University of California studying Fine Arts and Digital Arts, though I'll be the first to tell you I've learned more from working than from the classroom. My preferred art mediums include: digital on adobe products, corel, web; fine on oil-on-canvas or charcoal; photography in black and white, with a focus on portraiture and music; and classical music on piano. I work as a graphic and website designer with a primary interest in marketing and adverising. (Yes, the stuff you get spammed with - but I'll only claim credit for the prettier ones.)
