Re: contributing to my sadness/mood

[Guest guest]

Wow, Sharon.  I'm so glad it wasn't any worse!Tina

 

Tomorrow is the

" anniversary " of my devastating vehicle accident.  On August 21,

2002 I rolled my van over and over and end to end 8 or 9 times according to the

accident investigator.  I wasn't wearing a seat belt and was driving 90 mph. 

Thank God it was a single vehicle accident so no one else was involved.  I

was in bad shape MS-wise that day (had been for a couple of months).  I

was having cognitive problems and was having double vision.  I never, EVER

should have been driving.  

My scalp was torn off, my neck was

broken, all my right posterior ribs were broken, lung collapsed, cuts and

gashes here and there.....  I was flown from my small community to Barrows

Neurological Institute in Phoenix.  I was in ICU for a week.  It felt

like I was floating in and out of life. 

But I did survive!  I had too much

to live for:)  My granddaughter was born one month after the

wreck.  I went to the hospital to attend her birth.  I was in a neck

brace and had those broken ribs but I still walked the distance down the hall

that I struggled to walk yesterday.  It hit me yesterday that then I

walked it easier when was born than I did yesterday.  How is that

possible?!?    That makes me so sad to think how much I have

lost in the years since that day. 

A year later my granddaughter, Maya, was

born.  Another miracle I would have missed if I hadn't survived.  

In 2004 I sold everything I owned and

moved to Alaska to live in the backwoods.  I wanted " one more

adventure " and I got it in Alaska!   We lived two miles from a

road in the middle of the bog.   I went with my son, his wife and

four grandkids.  Our water was hauled from our creek, no electricity --

just kerosene lamps and flashlights.  I had to go in on a 4 wheeler and

was stuck there until we got an ARGO (tracked vehicle).  There were black

bear, brown bear (Grizzly), moose and wolves all around us.  It was a

paradise.  I missed my daughter and the four grandkids I left behind in

Arizona so I moved back.  I love the Arizona mountains and I'm glad to be

here. 

 

I

am very thankful to be alive.  Please don't get me wrong.  But I am

mourning the losses I have experienced.  I know you can all understand

that.  I do appreciate you all so much!

Sharon,.this was such a horrific time for you. I remember quite well, and I was happy, relieved, and surprised you survived it. What a miracle from God, and luckily His Angels were there to protect you more. I loved it when you were in Alaska, and wrote about it. I lived vicariously thru you! Seems like I’m still doing that where you are now and the type of set up you have there too. JI’ve been in at least 5 car accidents, 3 near water drowning’s and 1 almost getting hit by a train. It sure gives you a whole different perspective on life. I appreciate you as well!

Hi Sharon, I understand the feeling of losses that you are going through. I have also been feeling losses myself this past week. I feel like I can't do anything around the house anymore because I have trouble standing for even short periods of time. I am having to use the scooter a lot more even in the house. I feel as if I am unable to do anything for the family. It is not easy but you will grow and come to enjoy the freedom that you do have. Love to you!Margaret A.

On August 21,2002 I rolled my van over and over and end to end 8 or 9 times according to theaccident investigator. I wasn't wearing a seat belt and was driving 90 mph. Thank God it was a single vehicle accident so no one else was involved. Iwas in bad shape MS-wise that day (had been for a couple of months). Iwas having cognitive problems and was having double vision. I never, EVERshould have been driving. My scalp was torn off, my neck wasbroken, all my right posterior ribs were broken, lung collapsed, cuts andgashes here and there..... I was flown from my small community to BarrowsNeurological Institute in Phoenix. I was in ICU for a week. It feltlike I was floating in and out of life. But I did survive! I had too muchto live for:) My granddaughter was born one month after thewreck. I went to the hospital to attend her birth. I was in a neckbrace and had those broken ribs but I still walked the distance down the hallthat I struggled to walk yesterday. It hit me yesterday that then Iwalked it easier when was born than I did yesterday. How is thatpossible?!? That makes me so sad to think how much I havelost in the years since that day. A year later my granddaughter, Maya, wasborn. Another miracle I would have missed if I hadn't survived. In 2004 I sold everything I owned andmoved to Alaska to live in the backwoods. I wanted "one moreadventure" and I got it in Alaska! We lived two miles from aroad in the middle of the bog. I went with my son, his wife andfour grandkids. Our water was hauled from our creek, no electricity --just kerosene lamps and flashlights. I had to go in on a 4 wheeler andwas stuck there until we got an ARGO (tracked vehicle). There were blackbear, brown bear (Grizzly), moose and wolves all around us. It was aparadise. I missed my daughter and the four grandkids I left behind inArizona so I moved back. I love the Arizona mountains and I'm glad to behere. Iam very thankful to be alive. Please don't get me wrong. But I ammourning the losses I have experienced. I know you can all understandthat.

Tomorrow is the

"anniversary" of my devastating vehicle accident. On August 21,

2002 I rolled my van over and over and end to end 8 or 9 times according to the

accident investigator. I wasn't wearing a seat belt and was driving 90 mph.

Thank God it was a single vehicle accident so no one else was involved. I

was in bad shape MS-wise that day (had been for a couple of months). I

was having cognitive problems and was having double vision. I never, EVER

should have been driving.

My scalp was torn off, my neck was

broken, all my right posterior ribs were broken, lung collapsed, cuts and

gashes here and there..... I was flown from my small community to Barrows

Neurological Institute in Phoenix. I was in ICU for a week. It felt

like I was floating in and out of life.

But I did survive! I had too much

to live for:) My granddaughter was born one month after the

wreck. I went to the hospital to attend her birth. I was in a neck

brace and had those broken ribs but I still walked the distance down the hall

that I struggled to walk yesterday. It hit me yesterday that then I

walked it easier when was born than I did yesterday. How is that

possible?!? That makes me so sad to think how much I have

lost in the years since that day.

A year later my granddaughter, Maya, was

born. Another miracle I would have missed if I hadn't survived.

In 2004 I sold everything I owned and

moved to Alaska to live in the backwoods. I wanted "one more

adventure" and I got it in Alaska! We lived two miles from a

road in the middle of the bog. I went with my son, his wife and

four grandkids. Our water was hauled from our creek, no electricity --

just kerosene lamps and flashlights. I had to go in on a 4 wheeler and

was stuck there until we got an ARGO (tracked vehicle). There were black

bear, brown bear (Grizzly), moose and wolves all around us. It was a

paradise. I missed my daughter and the four grandkids I left behind in

Arizona so I moved back. I love the Arizona mountains and I'm glad to be

here.

I

am very thankful to be alive. Please don't get me wrong. But I am

mourning the losses I have experienced. I know you can all understand

that. I do appreciate you all so much!

you have your grand kids to raise - to teach them love and humor and adventure - my oldest got to know his two great grandmothers and for that I am very thankful - Grandma Blanches' birthday was just before Memorial day - really ticked the nuns off every year when we went down the last week in May
