My life changed at a traffic light
by James
(Venice, Fl)
I had a thriving home inspection business. I also owned an inspection training school. Life was was good up until I was rear ended waiting for the traffic light to change from red to green.
It was at 9:07 pm dark and a pleasant 75 degrees with a light drizzle. The young lady who hit me was a very cute 18 year old who just got off work. She told the Highway patrol officer that she thought I was going to run the light so she sped up. She lied, I was stopped and had witnesses. She got got a ticket for traveling to fast for weather conditions. (50 in a 35).
I got 2 broken ribs, 3 cracked vertebra's and a broken neck with 3 fusions, and a metal plate with 3 screws. I also suffer with off the chart leg pains that brings me to tears when they flair up.
I have fantastic insurance and seen more specialists who just shake their heads. They have done all they could.
I lost everything, my businesses, my ability to walk, and my hands have severe numbness and tingle. My arms feel like they are freezing all the time. I am in pain 24/7 with heavy duty pain killers.
I don't sleep for more than 2-3 hours and when I do try I get severe anxiety attacks. Depression and anxiety want to control me but I don't want to go down that road. This is why I am reaching out to you.
I am letting go of my past (wow that hurts) and trying to move forward, but I'm stuck and need a boost out of this sink hole.
I have no real interests any more, so any help is appreciated.
