Car accident

Hello everyone! I just want to share an incident that almost took my life. On May 4th of this year I was involved in a car accident with my classmates. I was a passenger sitting on the front. Basically my friend and I decided to go for a ride with our classmate because he was depress and we thought we'd help him get his mind off of things. The road he was driving on is very very dangerous and he was driving really fast that my friend and I were yelling at him to slow down and finally there was traffic and we were both glad that there was because he finally slowed down. I had a traumatic brain injury which caused me to lose my attention very quick and I didn't really remember anything about the car accident but I asked my friend to tell me what happened cause i was really confused. I also have an abdominal injury which hurts a lot and I have to wear an abdominal binder for protection. I also have a hernia on my belly button and it looks really weird and crazy. One more thing I broke my right collar bone but it's not that serious. I was in the ICU for 3 weeks, because I was in a coma, i was in the hospital for 2 months. I was basically so sick of the hospital food and i literally watched all the movies in the hospital t.v.  I had a hard time standing and walking on my very first physical therapy... My left leg and arm are very weak due to my brain injury... Finally i was put in an inpatient rehabilitation where I had a very intense therapy sessions. It starts at 7 or 8 am to 4pm. I when i first walked i used a walker and when i was put in a inpatient rehab i learned to use a cane instead. I finally got out of rehab last Friday. And it was the happiest day of my life! But sadly i had to leave my friend there. But i am glad that she's walking too, although it's hard for her since she broke her lower spine. I am very thankful for my family and friends for praying that I'd be well. I have a few battle scars which i love because it shows that i was a brave girl. I also want to thank all the therapists for working me hard and be able to do things on my own although I still need help on some stuff.  But i still can't do the things i love like playing in the swimming pool.... Also want to thank God for giving me another chance to live again. Remember to NEVER ever take anything nor your loved ones for granted because you don't know when your last goodbye. Also don't ever give up if you're facing a tragedy. Always pray and be thankful for everything you have. 

 

That's all for now  have a great day/night
