Life is too precious to waste
I will NEVER EVER for the rest of my life forget yesterday. Horrible images still haunt my mind and as hard as I try to push them away, I can't. I realize how blessed I am to be alive. Everyone keeps reminding me how lucky I am and how God has truly blessed me. The Florida Highway Patrol, the tow truck guy, the EMTs, the people that rescued me from my car, and my parents. They say I should have died, I should be dead right now. You know that's the weirdest feeling in the world. To have your whole life flash before your eyes in a few seconds...to see a bright white light...and then everything becomes blurry and to have no control over anything. God saved me. He really did. I just am so thankful now that my car is the one that's gone, not me.
After 5 hours in the ER, a catscan, and a few tests, the doctors have prescribed me 3 different medications. 2 of them are painkillers, and the other one I have no idea. I've got a lot of bruises and severe back & neck pains. Mostly I just tore muscle tissue, but they say a month or so of physical therapy should help the healing process. But the important thing is I'm alive...and I'm so thankful.
My car's back right tire blew up on the turnpike right before you merge onto I-75. I was in the left lane going about 75 mph. My car spun out of control and I did a 360 degree turn through the right lane in front of a 18 wheeler truck. I felt for certain that mac truck was going to clobber me. That was when i saw the light and the rest is still a blur. My car somehow went in the ditch in the side of the road, through a bunch of bushes, side swiped a tree, hit another tree, went through more bushes and slammed into a smaller tree. All I remember is people shouting are you alive? We are coming to get you out! Hold on. And they cut the vines that entangled my car and carried me out. One guy ran across 4 lanes of traffic to help me. I couldn't stop shaking and all I could think of was omg how am I alive? A nice guy that was in the car behind me let me sit in his air-conditioned truck until the police arrived. My mom and dad met up later and we watched them pull out my car. They all kept reminding me how blessed I am. It was the most terrifying day of my life.
Because life is too short and too precious to waste, I just want to say that I love you all. Live your life to the fullest, because you never know when it may be your last!
