This is one picture I have that was taken after my accident , the picture was taken out at Ft. Sam Houston Texas , it was the nearest trauma center from where my accident happend at , this picture was taken just after .
On Nov.4,1988 my life changed, it's not over by any means, just changed. I was an Aircraft mechanic, working out at Randolf AFB Texas just outside of San Antonio. And on that day, on my way home from work, riding my motorcycle with no helmet on of course because I was under the delusion that nothing bad could or would happen to me. But that all changed in a split second. When a deer jumped into the middle of the road in front of me as I crested a hill. And from the ensuing accident, I suffered a massive head injury, and laid in a coma for six months. To put it into perspective, I feel in my heart of hearts that God had to get my attention. And He used my accident to do that, and He got my fully undivided type. So it took me a couple of years and good therapy to learn how to walk and talk again. I was in a wheelchair for a while, then a walker then two canes then one and now I'm walking freely "no help". And I'm articulate, It took me a while to stop babbling. and even now once in a while if I'm not watching or paying attention closely I still babble. So I just try to keep track of what I say and how I say it. It was a fight and it will continue to be one for the rest of my life . The way I figure I won't completely get over my head injury until the Lord comes back for me or I go to be with Him. We have to accept that. If you sit around saying to yourself oh woe is me no one else in the world has it as bad as me, all that you have to do is to look around you, there are so many people who are worse off then we are. But they are still pressing on and making it all work. The only advice that I can offer is to never give up. Always strive to get better. My life will never be the same as it was and more than likely I won't ever hold a job again, but who's to say? None of us knows what tomorrow holds. I may hold a job, I don't know. I can only see things through finite eyes. I can't drive so it's very unlikely that I will ever be employed but who's to say. Never let it beat you , just keep up the fight.
