I have not written a blog in the longest time so I thought I would attempt to start giving a synopsis of the last month and a half of my life. This is going to be a blog of many blogs, kind of like chapters in a book. I will give and keep updates on my daily activities as well as the surgeries I undergo. On October 30, 2009, I had gone to school to meet with a professor about an upcoming exam. After meeting with her I walked to my car and while in the crosswalk I was run over by a pickup truck. I will not go into the gory details of what happened to me, except that I suffered a severe trauma to my right calf, a carpal fracture, and a big bump on my head. I still don’t know all of the details about the accident, except that the driver received a DUI. I don’t know if he was drunk or if he got the DUI because he refused to take the breathalyzer, but we shall see. Either way I find it ironic that an ex junkie gets hit by someone who was drinking and driving. I am fortunate that he stopped though. I have found many positives out of this entire situation, but it has also been a struggle. I can say that my addiction is still in existence and it is still a struggle. I also am well aware that I have true friends in my life and that I know where to go and who to go to when I am in need of support and/or advice. Well this is just the beginning of my journey of this accident and the effects it has had on my body, spirit, and mind. Until next time
