I'm here, so I might as well... So I got into a big car accident. I fell asleep at the wheel, and hit a tree dead on at 60 mph. There were no skidmarks. The responding officer said he doesn't see how anyone could've survived that. My car is completely gone. I ruptured and lost my spleen, and broke and shattered at toes, foot plates, and my ankle in my right foot. I've got about 36 staples from below my belly button to about half way up my chest. Cuts on my arms, legs, and neck from glass. I've got a big white cast, and bolts, screws, and plates in my foot. After a day or two, they took me off the venthilater, and i stopped breathing on my own after an hour or two. I don't remember much of anything until the day i think it was my parents and rachael. i woke up and told my mom that i wanna go home. this past week i think ive cried more than cried in my whole life. ive never been introduced to any pain like this before. i lived a life of hardly ever getting sick, never getting beat up, and never breaking a single bone. i want to thank anyone and everyone who either came to visit me, sent me a message, or just kept me in their prayers for one night. i appreciate everything everyone's done. i dont want to thank invidivual people, because i was under a lot of morphine and probably either imagined people that werent there, or forgot people that were. but thank you to everyone who has done anything. and thank you to rachael for being the best girlfriend a guy could ever ask for. you were there, you made me smile, you brought me stuff, left camp to see me, spent this whole weekend with me. I love you with all my heart. and i love all my friends who have been there for me in any amount of any way. i get my chest examined wednesday, and i get my cast x-rayed in 2 weeks. wish me luck. i wish you all the best. thank you.
p.s. - my balls are bruised.
