I think I know what happened
consider the following:
enter stage left – one man with an appetite for destruction, who drinks away his sorrows. Add the alcohol, make sure it is an obscene amount, mix in a muscle relaxer/pain killer to increase the effect of that alcohol.
There also once was this jeep wrangler that the “fellow” would use to cruise around. It wasn’t a very nice vehicle, but it got him around.
Then consider that this person was living in Arlington, VA at the time and would on occasion visit his parents who live in Manassas, VA. Succomb to maybe a type of self-inflicting peer pressure, he drinks to excess.
So we have an obviously intoxicated person who then may make the descision to drive home as he then decides to take the pain pill. Is it any wonder there was an accident to follow? Maybe the surprising part is the extent of his injuries and how he has lived to tell the tale, perhaps being able to pay it forward in communicating his story. Severe Traumatic Brain injury, coma for about 30 days, and then a lifetime of rehab.
Hey, at least he’s no longer drinking.
I read a quote that said “Unless a man undertakes more than he possibly can do, he will never
do all that he can”.
great quote.
Seems like its easy for us to practice a lifestyle, and not think about the consequences that could possibly follow. I dont want to think about it. I just watched a show, and a girl totaled her car driving drunk, and walked away unharmed. fell asleep at the wheel. just like you. It pissed me off, because she still didnt care about what she was doing, or that when she woke up the next morning there was someone to share love with. Much like how you would respond to the countless other warnings you were given throughout your experiences prior to your TBI accident. I’m glad you are still around to learn the lessons, and teach me the lessons, and share love with me and everyone that I love.
love love love love
