Feb. 1, 2017 I hit a patch of ice in a curve, ricocheted off hillside and slid off the mountain. Injuries from head to toe: glass in scalp, neck wrenched causing permanent damage, tore both rotator cups (so my arms wouldn't work), chipped both elbows, burned left forearm when engine came into the cab, broke my spine, right leg amputated above the knee and every bone in my body was jammed into the wrong place and I died twice. My sternum was cracked from the CPR.
My poor Honda, CRV, (the older SUV type), saved my life. When I went over the cliff she landed on her front grill and flipped on to her back bumper three times then rolled about 5 times. I shot out from under the seatbelt, which saved me from being crushed by the engine. My memory stops at about 2 pm on the day of the wreck and I have no idea when it returned as the hospital kept me high as balls.
For the last three years I've been trying to get mobile again. Mostly bedbound at this point. But, I can sit and watch my fish for about 2 hours at this point. Baby steps. I can now honestly say I TOTALLY understand the opioid epidemic now. Fortunately my doctor refused to refill my Oxy prescription and I had no way of finding any so I laid there and detoxed on my own on top of everything else. I have never felt that good mentally, physically and spiritually. Somehow that drug takes away every bit of pain AND elevates your mood to almost manic levels. So don't judge the addicts you see on the street. They used to prescribe the pills for everything.
