HELLO ALL,
TODY IS A BAD DAY FOR ME TODAY BECAUSE TODAY 4 YEARS AGO I ALMOST LOST MY LIFE IN A CAR CRASH. IT IS 7:57AM EST AND ALMOST TO THIS MIN GIVE OR TAKE 5-6 MIN WHEN I WROTE THIS BLOG.
I WAS DRIVING TO MY FIRST DAY OF WORK ON A NEW JOB AND I STOPED AT A WAWA TO GET COFFEE. THATS THE LAST THING I REMEMBER. THE NEXT THING I KNOW IAM IN THE BACK OF A RIG WITH 2 EMTS AND A MEDIC. I FREAK OUT WHAT HAPPENED THEY ALL SAID YOU WHERE IN A CAR ACCIDENT Cooper University Hospital OK RIGH THERE I KNEW IT WAS BAD MEDIC IN THE RIG WITH US AND TAKING ME TO ONE OF THE BIGGEST TRAUMA HOSPITALS IN THE AREA. IAM AN EMT FIREFIGHTER AND I WAS FREAKING ALL THE WAY THERE BECAUSE IT WAS A RAINY OVERCAST DAY THE CHOPPER GOT NOT TAKE OFF TO FLY ME THERE. IT ALSO SUCKED THAT I HAD A MASK ON TO HELP ME BREATH. I ALSO HAD TO BE RESTRAINED BECAUSE I WAS FREAKING OUT AND TAKING MASK OFF.
SO WE GET THERE AFTER A 45 MIN LITTLE DRIVE. AND I STOP BREATHING TWICE AS SOON AS I WAS WHEELED INTO ER. THEY GET ME STABLE AND THEN THEY LIGHT ME UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE HEAD CT CAT SCAN XRAYS MRIs AND HAD BONES XRAYED IN MY BODY THAT I DID NOT KNOW I EVEN HAD. SO THEY FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME AND GET ME STABLE. OK HERE WE GO I HAD A GRADE 2 CONCUSSION,COLLAPSED LUNG, C7 FRACTURE OF MY VERTEBRAE IN NECK FOUR BROKEN RIBS 8 STICHES IN ARM WHERE A 7 INCH PIECE OF GLASS WENT INTO MY ARM AND THAT WAS ABOUT IT. SO YEA THE SEAT BELT WHILE BREAKING FOUR OF MY RIBS SAVED MY LIFE. OH AND MORPHINE DRIPS ROCK AND ONE TIME I THOUGH I WAS CALLING THE NURSE AND I WAS HITTING THE BUTTON FOR THE DRIP I WAS FEELING GOOD THAT NIGHT LOL. AND ALSO CATHETER=PAIN WHEN TAKEN OUT DID NOT FEEL THEM PUT IT IN BECAUSE I WAS SO OUT OF IT.
SO A WEEK AFTER BEING IN THE HOSPITAL I WANTED OUT SO THEY LET ME GO HOME WITH A NECCK BRASE3 AND A GOOD BYE LOL!!!!!!! SO ALL THIS HAPPENED ALSO ON MY OLDEST NEPHEWS BIRTHDAY AND MY MOM WAS ON VACTION WITH NO CELL ON SO SHE DID NOT KNOW UNTIL SHE GOT BACK. IT TOOK ALMOST 2 YEARS TO RECOVER AND I HAVE REALLY NOT BEEN RIGHT SINCE.
BUT ONE THING TO TELL YOU ALL IN CLOSING AS MUCH AS YOU DONT WANT TO WEAR IT LIKE I USED TO BE UNTIL I WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED NOT WEARING ONE BUCKLE UP IT MAY SAVE YOUR LIFE :)
