alternating experience.
I see eyes blinking at me
Driving in bliss
I see eyes blinking at me
bright as a camera's flash
Too bright, I must let him know
Wait, don't come towards me, I am
right here.
It was as if I was invisible to his eye.
I was an ant to him ready to be swished to death.
Chaos happened, he hit me with such fierce. Panic raged
through and through me.
My blood ran cold and numbness enveloped me.
Voices came at me at every turn asking if I was
alright. "I'm alright." I thought out aloud. Fighting
within me debating I had the right of way. How could
this happen.
I was offered water, i gulped it down and felt cold
water trickle down my throat. It seemed to be the
only vital thing I could feel at that moment.
The bumpy ambulance ride was a whirl, before I
could blink there were doctors hand and foot attending
to my care. The moment I was laid down on the flat
stretcher with a brace around my neck was when I
realized the numbness I felt was in my legs.
Will I be able to chase after my kids, will I be lost
to a wheelchair for life? Then I saw his face, everything
else faded away. Suddenly I hoped all will be well again
and we could go home. Home seemed heavenly and out of
my grasp. I wanted to see my babies. My husband assured
me that they were taken care of.
Then it was back to me.
What was to happen?
Cat scan then mri, then chest x-ray, it seemed endless.
Finally the hour came, the doctor said I had no broken
bones, gave me the release to go home and be reunited
with my beloved family.
Now to this day I am in chronic pain that will probably
last until I die. We have a tank for a car, a car that I feel
safe in, so safe. Never will I go for wanting a snack so
late for I fear I will see the blinking eyes peering at me,
waiting for me.

It will be three years in July since my accident as well
as Adam's accident which happened two days after mine.
The two days that changed us forever.

It's terrible that someone like that drunk driver could alter your life forever! He should have to pay for what he did!
Yeah I know I agree, sis! I had been in several accidents in the past and none have affected me like this one did. Well the drunk driver did go to jail for awhile and he did payments for awhile. Too bad the payments stopped right when no job around ha oh well.
