Something I haven't told many in here ... some of my friends know. I have had 2 major accidents in the past 12 years and my last surgery really messed up my neck. I get really bad headaches, and sometimes can't even get up out of the bed .. anyways I am not whinning or complaining .. I am very grateful to be alive! I was hit by an 18 wheeler while sitting in my own drive way and he hit us on my side of the car. The car was completely turned around and moved over 100 ft from where we were sitting. I was preggy with my almost 12 yr old. He was fine, I had a neck injury that they couldn't do anything for until after I had him. I had a 5 inch gash on my head and my head hit my mom's chest so hard from the impact that it bruised her heart. My kids were all with me, we all walked out except my mom who had suffered a heart attack and was kept in the hospital for several days. They released me and was monitored every day for a few wks by my ob/gyn. and suffered black outs and lost all control of my hands. I couldn't even hold my baby unless I was sitting cuz I would drop him. Surgery fixed me took me 2 yrs to get back to be able to live life like a normal person. I had to learn how to write all over again.
Feeling better and moving on with my life, was moving back to the farm and one sunday changed my life again. I was in a head on and the people working the scene couldn't believe that I survived this and had no cuts, but the other injuries they didn't see were the ones that still haunt me. I messed up my neck, broke my sternum and ribs, from the air bag and steering wheel that I was pinned up against. I didn't walk away from this accident like I did the other one. I stayed drugged from the pain for 3 months and did physical theraphy for a yr before they did surgery. Which is messed up .. so when I say I have a loose screw ..literally I do with my expensive jewerly lol ... titanium plate and screws to hold my head on my shoulders ... but like I said .. I'm not complaining ... I am thankful I have been giving another chance to live again! The beautiful scars on my neck are my beautiful reminders I have been given another chance to live again!
