Way back on september 16 1984 I was 16 years old and had just started my junior year of high school. I was about a mile and a half from home, I was going to Burger King to meet up with friends, even though my mom didn't want me to go. I was going close to 60 mph and had the right away, I looked down for a second, felt a jolt, looked up and i was hitting a car, he had ran the stop sign. I literaly cut his car into two pieces, i wasn't wearing my seatbelt, I was thrown into the windshield several times, took the steering wheel in my abdomen and the engine came in and pinned my legs. He had massive chest and abdominal injuries, there wasn't enough time to wait for another ambulance so they took us together, it was a nightmare, blood everywhere, he was trying to scream but because of his open chest he just made this sucking, gasping sound, he was thrashing all over the place, my blood preasure kept dropping, then at the hospital the cops came into my trauma bay and told my dad that the "other guy" had just died in surgery and he thought I might know him cause he went to my school, well I did he was my friend since 6th grade,that messed me up. I suffered a TBI, frontal lobe, I have bad short term memory,migranes, agitation and have trouble getting my thoughts out into word form, it is very frustrating! I have developed post traumatic stress disorder a few years ago, I have flash backs, visions,(i see Jamie everywhere) I smell stuff from the accident and other junk like that. so I guess thats my story.
