Well guys, I am back. I know you all missed me. jk... Now, I'm sure you're probably thinking, "who is this?", but dont fret I will remind you...

On May 6 of 06 I was in an accident that left me in a coma for 26 days. Had several surgeries on teh brain and neck. 2 on teh knee and 1 on teh shoulder. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/blackeye.gif.66a1670f5aaf7f406e783a63e3387dc5.gif

I was on the interstate in my wrecker(unloaded) doing 70 and a guy in an 18 wheeler fell asleep and veered over in my lane and ran me into the woods.

Anyhoo, I'm ok and I dont want this to be a pity party. Just would like all to know that the seatbelt saved my life.

on to the pics....

this is what my wrecker looked like before the accident...



and this is after....





luckily I had no passenger...



Thats all for the wreck. I have been through alot of rehab and am about 95 percent healthy. The knee still gives me some trouble and I just cant do squats like I used to. lol

I have been back to work for a few months and have started keeping a journal of pics of wrecks that have happened in town. I will post them periodically because I know everyone cant stop looking at a wreck.

I have been looking on here for the last week or two and have seen lots of new ppl and alot of the old ones. some things never change. Looking forward to spending more time with you.

 
hey tapout. Do you practice jiu jitsu or mixed martial arts or what. Just asking if you can back the name //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

edit: Supertroopers style, "Dear God". glad your alive.

 
glad to have you back. God was looking out for you that day, you obviously have a reason to still be here, so find that reason and live your life 100%. Good luck with getting back to normal.

 
wow man that is a crazy wreck. stuff like this sticks out out and makes me start weaaring my belt but after a while its back to old habits //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

 
Glad your alive to share your true life experience with us.Me personally I wear my seatbelt in every vehicle I ride in because you'll just never know when something like that will happen.
