Hi everyone, I was chatting to nick the other day and thought I'd drop everyone a line here to show what's going on with me. I was in a pretty bad car crash and came pretty close to death. Is gonna be a bit of a recovery from here so let me explain.
About a week ago I was in an accident that was pretty crazy, I was on the front left (passenger side Aussie cars) when my friend drove off an encampment into a pole. I took most of the impact in a turbo car that is now written off. The crash happened around 2am ( I think) and it nearly killed me.
We were both knocked unconscious and when my friend came to, the engine Bay was on fire. The seat belts both were stuck due to the impact. My friend managed to cut both our belts and bring me back conscious. We forced the door open my side and he dragged me out and about 30 meters from the car. Knowing I'd sustained bad injuries, I lay flat on my back and my body, being cold started going into shock.
By the time the paramedics arrived I was unconscious again. So now it seems I have a long road to recovery ahead of me. The injuries i sustained were a broken neck, a fractured back in three places, broken left wrist and fingers, broken ribs, ligament damage to a fair few parts of my body, internal bleeding and a heap of other stuff.
I dunno why I'm telling you, I'm bored in hospital maybe. Either way I'll try and upload some pics but I have to wear a steel halo for months etc
