Moto accident

I am currently sitting on the couch at the Peace Corps office in Sikasso. I am on med hold. Why is that? Oh, i just got hit by a moto yesterday morning, and now I have a very painful sprained wrist. I was planning on going back to village for another 2 week stint yesterday morning, but that was before I got hit. All I was trying to do was cross the street. I had made it halfway across the street when this moto coming from behind the roundpoint decided to speed up when he saw me. Malian drivers are weird. I feel like they play this game called 'Let's scare the pedestrian' by speeding up anytime they see someone cross the street. Maybe they think it's funny to see people run the rest of the way across the street scared? I have no idea, but they do this. So anyway he sped up and then I guess at the last moment when he realized he was going to hit me he decided to slow down, and his bike swerved a bit. That was when I decided it would be a good idea to stick my right hand out and try to stop the moto from hitting me, because I have super-human strength? So yea that was a major idiot move on my part, but it was kind of like an unconcious reaction, like how you always reach out to catch something that is falling. My hand ended up grasping the handle bars of the moto for a second and then getting pulled back with the moto because of course the man didn't stop after he hit me. This is what must've sprained my wrist, it getting jerked back with the moto. Immediately afterwards I screamed, but did anyone rush over to help me? NO. Was the street full of people? Yes. I don't get it. Malians are very nice and hospitable, but I've noticed that they aren't ones to rush and help someone when they need it. I'm sure that in the US after getting hit by a moto several people would've asked if I was okay.
So anyway my wrist is in a lot of pain, I can barely use my right hand which is a major issue here. It's rude to do almost anything with your left hand like eat with it, or hand someone money with it. So all day yesterday I had to struggle to put money in my limp hand and painfully raise it to drop whatever coins into the vender's hand. It really sucked. I also spent most of the day icing it and laying down because Dr. Dawn (Peace Corps Medical Officer) advised me to do so. The day of the accident I was in quite a lot of pain, but today it is manageable, but I think that's because I've just taken 800mg of Ibuprofen. So yea, hopefully tomorrow I'm pain free and can head back to village, but until then I'm gonna watch a lot of movies, TV shows and be online 24/7. I've already caught up completely on the Office which I didn't think was going to be possible with my terrible internet connection, and I've watched half the 1st season of Mad Men. I'm really enjoying this technology filled few days, even if the cost of having them is a swolen wrist.
