RE: A Window into my Life - My Accident
What an amazing recovery for you! I am so glad you are ok. I, too, shattered my radius and ulna, and had a similar injury with the bone protruding from the skin. I had to have a metal plate with 15 pins put in and several surgeries. They finally took the plate out and I had a few complications afterwards with some infections with the bone, but it is well now. Thank goodness that there was someone who stopped and helped you!
Vehicles can be dangerous things and I am glad you survived! You look very happy in your picture, but I know that with the pain, we sometimes have to hide it. Very well written! :)
Thanks Jennifer, it was a hard road to recovery.
You accident sounds like it was quite nasty too, I knew as soon as I read your post how bad it likely was. I have found after going through my experience I have a lot more insight into what people must go through with their accidents.
I seem to understand the magnitude a lot better now.
Yeah if it wasn't for that guy and his daughter helping me I may not be here. Imagine what that must have been like for that poor little girl.
When I thanked that guy I saw his little girl and explained to her that the people at the hospital fixed me up and I'm all better now.
I'm am fairly happy now, as you know we have those moments where you just get down and don't want to talk to anyone.
But all in all I'm doing well.
We just gotta be strong, there is no other option.
I couldn't have said it better myself. I couldn't imagine what it was like for her to have seen, but it was good of you to explain it to her. I'm sure she is looking up to her father like a hero and I'm sure you are very grateful for the help!
It's always nice to follow-up with those that help you out!
Thanks :)
Yeah I bet she had nightmares for a fair while.
I think it's important to show gratitude to people who help us in such a dramatic way. At least they know their efforts were appreciated
Exactly. It is always a good gesture to do that for others!
