I was wearing a seat belt, no air bag deployment. The accident caused me to have a fractured femur/hip and a cerebral hematoma (bleed in my brain). I ended up getting a hip replacement, and was being watched for the bleed. A few weeks later, things took a turn for way worse. Because of the accident, my body had started producing blood clots which filled my entire right lung, on top of that I MRSA pneumonia. When I got to the hospital, my parents were told I had a 10% chance of survival for the next 72 hours. I was put into a medical induced coma, and was put on life support. When I was finally taken out of the coma, the gravity of everything hit me, like who would have taken care of my son, what about my family, friends? While I haven’t fully recovered yet from both my hip surgery and blood clots, day by day I’m getting better. I just want everyone to be safe out there and think about what they’re doing. For the condition I ended up in, you wouldn’t believe a 30mph crash caused me to be fighting for my life, because of respiratory failure… In the end, be safe and use good judgement… I don’t want anyone or anyone’s family to have to go through what I as well as family and friends did. ---

U gotta be able to do you again ! Drew this wasn’t in schylerville was it ? If so my cousin dated that nutbag as well she is a junkie . yes. The kid had a troubled past and went through some bad shit, but he was on a good road to being clean and he was one of the funniest people I have ever met and would do anything for anyone. ---
