brief summary of my ordeal.
It was 9:30 Pm friday march 31st,2007.
I was headed back from Walmart when a 43 yr old lady was leaving a local bar bar drunk. When she pulled out at the last second into my lane and we hit head on, as I find out later my car was smashed beyond recognition, a quote from the the local sherrif is he dont know how anyone could have lived but I'm here. Ok so we hit and this pain came over me like most people will never feel in there whole life, my first insticnt is to jump out of the car. I fell straight to the pavement as my femur was sticking out of my leg I held with both hands with all my strength to to keep the broken bone in my leg because if i let go it felt as my leg was exploding. I lay in the busy road yelling for help, for someone to call 911. Eventually people began getting out of the car to help and to call my mom, you see i donât have a dad because he was killed in the same type of accident on 7/7/03. So what seemed like an eternity the emts finally arrived and put me on a back brace, it took them forever because i wouldnât let go of my leg which was killing me and gushing with blood. Finally the emt says look we cant help you here on the street, we got trauma hawk in the air to come pick you up, so i knew i had to bare the pain and let go, they got me on the backboard and were carting me off to the ambulance when my dad appeared and said Ron calm down you will be saved, so a calm came over my body as i was put in the ambulance the medics first give me 3 huge doses of morphine of which none touched the pain i was in, the trauma hawk arrived i was carted off to the helicopter in minutes and flown 60 miles away to a trauma center, we made it there in 10 minutes. as we landed they rushed me to to the operating room where at least 30 people were waiting on me. They intibated me and knocked me out. I woke up in a trauma room after 4 hours of surgery.
I was released on 4/7 still in great pain but i will make it. Rehab will take 6 months i will be in a wheel chair. My right arm went thru the windshield and is messed up really bad, i also broke a few ribs, and the worse was the complete split in half of my femur, I have a rod that will stay in my right leg forever, and about 50 staples on the outside.
I am home now, though in pain and lucky for the assistance of my mom to do everything for me.
