I've got a scar from between my nipples down to 2 inches below my belt line from a surgery resulting from a car crash 16 years ago. Injuries were a punctured lung, ruptured spleen and diaphragm, bruised liver and kidneys, shattered elbow and fractured hip.
I was the passenger in a car that passed 5 cars in a no-passing zone (on a curve). We collided with another car, and we went off the road and down a 15 foot embankment. I flew through the window space (it had blown out on impact) and flew about 35 feet through a heavily wooded area. The EMT's had to search a few minutes to find me.
I was on a respirator and in a coma for about 5 days, and spent a little over a month in the hospital, with about 6 months of physical therapy.
My right arm is still fucked up, I can't extend it all the way, and it moans and groans with the weather is rainy.
Given the scenario, I am lucky to be alive today.
