"Miracles do happen" (Part I)

On the 15th August 1998 I had a life changing experience as I was involved in a motor cycle accident which I have know memory of and found myself waking up in hospital. For the first 8 days I was in and out of consciousness and have no memory of anyone that came to visit or of anything that had happened.

I found out that I had multiple injuries that included,:

A cut across my right collar bone that required 4 stitches. I had ripped open my left leg across the lower chin bone and opened up the calf muscle along the chin bone to my knee, severing nerves and arteries, I also crushed the lymph nodes in my knee.

Then I was told that I had split my pelvis in half and the doctors weren't sure what to do, when I pulled the blanket back to have a look, I was black and blue from my stomach to my thighs.

After being there for 2 weeks, the doctor finally decided they had better operate and put me back together by inserting a metal plate and 4 screws through my pelvis. The doctor did tell me that he wasn't sure if this would do the job or not and that only time would tell. All I new was that I was going to be a bed case for some time and possibly crippled. Within the next week the nurse discovered that part of the flesh had died on my leg and they had to surgically remove all the rotten part and they couldn't do a skin graft, as it would be to big a risk, because if it developed any infections it would quickly travel to the new metal in my pelvis.

Finally the end of September they told me I could go home, but only if I had someone to take care of me, as I would be incapable of taking care of myself.

So my daughter organized all my belongings to be put into storage and I moved into her grandmother's place for a month as my daughter was to be married on the 18th October 98.
