It was the middle of the afternoon when the accident happened. I was cut off by a truck and flew into a 12' inbankment. The truck kept on going, a gentleman followed him and got his plates. A nurse saw the accident happened and pulled over to help. Thank God she did because she found me on a boulder outside of my pickup. She knew what to do! I was rushed to Frankford and Torresdale hospital in northeast Philadelphia. I was in a coma for 2 1/2 weeks when I came to. I was sent to Moss rehab in Philly. I had a lot of work ahead of me. I could go on and on about the help that I received and procedures that were done to me, but I really don't feel like going thru all of the paper work and trying to remember what had happen to me in the past. All that I will say is this, what had happened to me is kind of a miracle in my eyes and my families. At first when I awoke I had learn to talk. It was a horrible feeling not being able to respond to people when conversation is in the room. After long therapies my speech came back "not the same" but good enough. Then there was the eating part of the rehab after having the trac in my throat, swallowing food seems to be slower than normal even tough I was always a slow eater. I am always the last one finishing there meal. Now the hardest thing that I have ever had to do was learning to walk and keeping my balance at the same time. Not an easy task at that time, still have problems with the balance part, but "has improved". There is a lot more to tell, but I have problems keeping focused and tire out easily. Maybe on my update I will get more of the story out.

The reason why I think that I am doing so well........and there are a lot of them. I won't bore you and tell all of them so I will give you 2. A great Family who were there even when I wasn't making any sense and the second reason and most important is that I didn't give up.
