- About Me:
- Blah... Blah... Blah, I was going to fill this out like it says but figured that would just start sounding like you're trying to brag. I've been there and done that like just about everybody else here. I'm pretty much just putting my life back together as best I can after having a major motorcycle wreck a little over 6 months ago. Just to sum up... No helmet, (ouch), massive head injury, 4 Basil skull fractures, 5 deep cranial bleeds, I died on the surgery table but surgeon kept working anyway. Survived somehow and was in a coma for the next 2.5 weeks. In hospital about 5 weeks in multiple ICU's. Spent next 4 months in physical therapy and rehab re-learning how to walk with a walker and cane. Kept an eye patch over one eye at a time to deal with double/blurred vision and vertigo. Had a diagnosed moderate short term memory loss but am fighting to overcome that. Am more stubborn, determined and driven now than ever and just won't quit or give up. Just got back on my 24 hour shift with my crew/captain and station. Good to be back home where I belong. Now just having to make myself a better, brand new man.
