I could have avoided all that trouble if only I had remembered to fix the car. Some years back a terrible collision accident kept me hospitalized for three weeks,then bed bound at home with nurse care for two more months.Following this horrible accident was loss of one's self which I had to find.Having been active prior,a mom of two children,married with a healthy marriage this all changed.I became stress to the family,a true burden and I hated being such.To make matters worse the accident was my fault and I had a perfect driving record up to that.However we had an old car and we had been putting off some work that should have been done,the steering always pulled some.I was too close to the line and veered over and he was close,thus we collided.Witnesses said it happenned very quickly but nonetheless it was my fault.He sufferred no injuries being in a large semi-truck but was angry about it all.Yes he was like a chicken who had the eggs taken.He decided to win the lotto on me if he could,roaring mad was he.I was flown in critical condition by helicopter.I did not wake up for three days.When I made it home in three weeks my lawyer visited me.She knew it was a true accident.I had been stapled,stitched and put together by surgery in most areas.Most of my hair was gone because it was full of glass and I was really weak.The other party went for gusto gold and took it to Supreme court trying to claim a prior workers comp injury.Finally he was paid for some whiplash and damage to his truck,the liability by law amount but not what he was looking for and this was two years later,then it closed.My surgeries amounted to four over time with permanent nerve damage and one leg longer than the other.I must use a cane for the rest of my life also.My inner spirit has come to life and learned to dance.I have learned to be productive through the art of words and then my heart can be free and my soul can dance.
