I don't know..trip to the body shop cost $$$ while trip to the ER is FREE in Canada...I'm leaning towards the ER but then again with the insurance I have a $200.00 deductible would make her look new again

I'd rather the freakin' plywood hit the bike. I'm not sure how many more blows to the head I can take before I lose what little sanity I have left. Luckily, I have the pull-down steps.
