April 20, 2012, I was in a motorcycle accident when a 65-year old woman driving a van failed to yield to traffic, pulling out of a business driveway and cutting me off; causing a collision w/ my Yamaha R6.  I was concussed at the scene and don't remember anything from that day or recent days leading up to it.  The next 2 weeks were a blur of dreams, reality and memory loss.  Doc's report stated I suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury (brain sheering), a broken left hand, bruised ribs, fractured pelvis, and worse of all, a Biracial Plexus Injury to my right side.  It would later be discovered that I also had a corroded cavernous fistula.  To put the last two into layman's terms, nerves from my spine to my arm were severe resulting in loss of it's function and my eye was protruded due to a pool of blood within the socket resulting in double vision.  I left the hospital a month after the accident, with the eye injury undiscovered and the arm injury (predicted by doctors) to be fully healed in 6-12 months. 

Flash forward 6 months: the underlying factor of the eye injury is discovered and surgery is performed to address the protrusion.  Days later a 2nd EMG test is performed on my are, this time indicating that my nerves won't recovery and there's nothing that can be done.  The use of my right arm is forever lost.  Oh and also, I have had to and continue to  endure sporadic, immense phantom-nerve pain in the arm as the nerves are trying to fire off and recognize signals from my brain.

Month 9-13: The doctor who "worked" on my arm now refers me to the Mayo Clinic in MN, stating they may be able to help.  I live in AZ and flew out their a total of 3 time (on my own dime).  Once for the consultation, once for the surgery, and once for the follow-up to remove the infect I incurred after the first surgery fail horribly.  

Today (just short of two years): Little to no improvement has resulted in my right arm/hand, I have numerous scars on my neck, shoulder, armpit, inside elbow and hand.  3 metal pins remain in my left hand.  And over $500,000 has been paid out from my health insurance company.

---------------------

I AM VERY SERIOUS.  THIS IS ALL TRUE. NOTHING EXAGGERATED. AND I AM CURRENTLY IN A LIVING HELL.  

---------------------

My life has taken a complete 180. I was born right-hand dominate and now must continue to learn to write, type, cook, TIE SHOES, etc. all left-handed alone.  I am constantly in a sling for my lame arm and when not, it hangs down due to gravity; exposing a subuxtion of the shoulder.  As the sling (givmohr sling) is not firm-fixed, it allows the arm to move in response to movements of by body,  This prevents me from moving quickly without losing my balance and ultimately takes away my ability to run, jump, stand for long periods of time, play basketball without difficulty.   The one that breaks my heart the most, is the basketball.  My one and love.   That one alone puts me in a "nothing to lose" mentality because so much of the happiness in my life depended on PLAYING basketball.  Sure I enjoyed other things in life, but the value in those things have faded and I just feel numb to most of what happens in my daily living now.  Also I had to sell my whip and purchase a new one because I used to drive a manual (which I'm legally restricted from doing now) but needed to get an automatic.  My diet must be managed tighter because of my pill intake and lack of activity.  And before anyone asks...no I didn't sue.  My family and I believed we were doing the right thing in letting the system runs it's course.  The woman, an had car insurance and I had health insurance.  We trusted the doctor's and adhered to their diagnosis-es.  The only remaining hope is (struggling) faith in God and possibly stem cell, rejuvenation.

Bottom line.  I can't remember a genuinely happy moment I've had since the date of my injury.  Which was 9 days before my 27th birthday.

This thread is powerful. I myself went through tough moments. Years ago I was driving and two girls ran in front of me. One is deceased, other severely disabled. Live with guilt every day. For some reason I can't progress. I'm stuck in mediocrity. Finished grad school a while back and I can't pass my boards to become a therapist. I envy my classmates who are. I know I'm wrong for that..

Was it one of those "I looked away for 2 seconds" kinda moments or they literally ran in front of you and you didnt see cause it was a narrow street/they ran inbetween parked cars or something obstructed your view?

In either case, its acceptable to acknowledge it wasnt your fault. Keep ya head up man.

Man some of these stories are crazy.

But hey, sometimes we use NT as a little getaway right? Get some laughs, read up on current events, maybe take some frustrations out by mindlessly arguing with another poster in some car/religion topic, but in the end, #ntfam.
