This blog is about life. It's ups and downs and everything in between!
On October 16th, 2017 I had an accident that could have taken my life. I had just returned home from having a tooth extracted and was in the process of making myself lunch when i felt light headed. I tried to push through it, but soon realized that I needed to sit down. I was able to get myself seated at the table and that is the last thing I remember before waking up to my nightmare.

The next time I opened my eyes my vision was blurred and I was laying on my stomach. My first thought was that I had laid my head down on the table, however something seemed strange. As my vision focused I realized that I was not sitting in a chair at the table, but was laying on the floor. What began as confusion quickly turned into panic as I felt blood oozing out of my head. I grabbed a towel and applied pressure to my blood soaked head as I called my husband to have him pick me up (I realize this was stupid and I should have called 911, but he works at a hospital 5 minutes from our house. I was lucky and if anything like this happens again I will not wait for him.) By the time we reached the hospital one eye was completely shut because of the crimson river streaming down my face and a woman screamed "OH MY GOD. DO YOU NEED HELP" when she saw me. She grabbed a wheel chair and my husband whisked me into the ER where I was immediately surrounded by nurses. After a couple of tests and 22 staples in my head I was released to go home where I spent the next 4 months healing from a severe concussion.
I am very aware of the fact that I could have never woke up that day, but I have been blessed and now I am committed to living my life to the fullest. This blog is not going to be about anything other than life; it's ups and downs and everything in between.
