November 19th 8:30pm
I was in the ICU for 5 days.
Bf and I were in a Ride Share home. Driver went on the left, oncoming lane...
We hit another car head on.
Collapsed lung. Pneumothorax. Broken clavicle. internal bleeding in my gut. It was surgically fixed that night.
BF broke his arm and had contusions on his face and we both had cracked ribs.
I'm stable now. On solid food again. I have an 8" incision on my belly that had staples. Seems to be mending well.
I remember ALL of this exquisitely well.
In those immediate moments...... Bf and I really thought this was the end. We held hands, and felt we weren't going to make it out. But we did.
Fortunate, this occurred just down the street from a Level 2 Trauma center Hospital.
More to be grateful for.
I've seen much of the goodness of humanity at work here. Grateful to Hospital staff.. I'm grateful to the friends i've reached out to. Just for the ability to be here, and still have the privilege to experience life. I'm happy to be able to see daylight again. It's been harrowing, and introspective for all of us here.
I still have the function of my hands and my wits.
I'll keep fighting and doing the necessary steps.

so glad you are safe
Glad you survived! Hope your recovery is as smooth as possible!
I would. Glad you recovered and your bf too. Sometimes we get trials in our lives, and makes us realize how fragile life is.
Lord may be saying its not your time yet, maybe think about the Christian faith. Never know what happens after a bad ending.
Get well soon, i pray you wont go through any of this again.
I'm glad you and your BF made it, I hope you two make a full recovery, and that this doesn't turn into a financial nightmare after that.
