So.... october 27th i was on my way to work on my motorcycle. There was a guy in a car going northbound in the southbound lanes, trying to hit somebody. Well, I was the unlucky one. He sideswiped me and I went down. Luckily there was a guy on a motorcycle ahead of me that stopped, came back and stood over me to make sure i didn't get hit by any cars.
They had to take my spleen out since it ruptured, put a plate in my left forearm since it was shattered. I lost 2/3 of my left pinkie, 1/3 of my ring finger, and the tip of my middle finger. Worst of all, they had to amputate my left leg. I was in intensive care for 5 weeks, and i don't remember any of it, as well as the collision itself.
I have a brachial plexus injury as well, so i can't move/feel my left arm. This is my biggest concern right now, since i might not get function of it again, which would leave me pretty much useless.
Now I am in rehab trying to strengthen my good arm and leg so i can at least do something. I'd appreciate your guys' thoughts and prayers.
Oh, and if you're wondering, the guy that hit me was found incompetant to stand trial, so he's in a mental hospital until he can.
