I still feel like an idiot to this day...
I was on a camping trip down along the Guadalupe with a big group of people. The camp site had this very high railroad that went over the river. All the guys went up and started jumping off from it into the water...which was VERY shallow. I wanted to go, but they said I couldn't because I was a girl. That made my decision, and I crawled up the scaffold and tried to position myself on the bridge. It was really slippery from all the guys being wet and doing it over and over. I slipped and fell off the bridege, and landed butt first in the water. I hit a nerve at the base of my spinal cord and was temporarily paralyzed from the neck down. I couldn't kick or move my arms! The river started pushing me down and I my face was just barely sticking out! I screamed, and my cousin's b-friend had to jump in and pull me out!
I recovered feeling, but had THE nastiest bruise on my tailbone! That was the stupidest thing I've ever done! UGH! Just thinking about it makes me sick!
