Hi Guys,
This Sunday I was unfortunately involved in a head on collision as a front seat passenger. We were travelling at motorway speeds and went directly head on with a vehicle that came onto our side of the road from the opposing carriageway on an A road.
I'm struggling to work out how We are all still alive to tell the tale. Statistically a head on at those speeds almost always results in death.
I'm currently in hospital with a broken back, neck, ribs, and airbag burns. The driver had minor injuries, the occupant of the other car fractures.
For reasons which most will understand I don't wish to talk about how or why it happened or the circumstances. Neither do I want sympathy, I just want to talk and share.
I'm just properly fed up and keep having flashbacks both awake and asleep. I'm also in extreme pain and stuck in hospital for a long time. I can move my limbs but won't walk for months and then it will be with a frame. I feel degraded having to go to toilet in a bed only separated by 6 others via thin curtains.
I know I must sound ungrateful. I recognise I am ultra lucky to even be alive. I count my blessings.
It's amazing how we take the small things for granted, such as walking to the bathroom or sitting up to have a coffee!
