I haven't been on here in a long time....and many of you probably don't even remember me....however, with the longest run on sentence, i will tell you a tale of my past 3 weeks.
I was riding my old school, decked out in chrome with the head light and tail light Varsity Schwinn. I was pimping the mean streets of the town that I live in (attend college at). I was crossing the crosswalk and I made it almost across when I was hit by a Dodge Ram pickup. I woke up in the Ambulance....in dire pain. I asked if my leg would need to be amputated, and they laughed at me and told me "no". I woke up after surgery to find my body littered with stitches. I also learned that my face contained fractures and my leg was broken in five spots. My ankle was shattered. The worst was that I learned I had a catheter in my penis. After the pain of having that taken out and put back in many times, I learned that I couldn't walk or wipe my ass. I also couldn't clean myself, and the nurses sucked and wouldn't do it for me. My hair was so greasy that it stuck up and made me look like Wolf man. I have recently improved my mobility and am able to wipe my ass (super bonus), on my own. I wont be able to walk for 6 months, and I cannot return to college this year.
I didn't just get hit by a truck. I was hit by a wake up call. This e-mail isn't meant to generate pitty for me or my condition. It is merely meant to let me tell you that life is too short to worry about meaningless shit and holding yourself back from your dreams is also bull shit. Grab the bull by the horns and kick some ass......or i will run you over with my wheel chair or my walker (your choice).
Sorry about the poor languistic art skills
P.S. Neeb high football rules as does ATDI
