I’m alive?? What
the hell is she talking about?
I tried to
slide out of my seat...shit, the seatbelt...I reached to try and unbuckle and
instantly felt a jolt in my damaged thumb.
What the hell
is going on?
The four
doors of my jeep had sprung open on impact and I was freezing cold.
I took a deep
breath and tried to orient myself. Ok, right, I was in an accident…broken
bones? I can’t tell…OK start at the top.
My head was
killing me, my face hurt like hell. Airbag...No real damage though.
My front
teeth were veneers, they were shattered…OK I can deal with that.
My shoulder
was pinched by the seat belt harness and my rotator cuff was torn.
Both thumbs
sprained from gripping the steering wheel.
Both knees
sprained from whiplash on the sudden stop.
But I’m
alright!! I am alive! I tried again to unbuckle but now the EMT’s were there,
talking to me like I was a child…I’m fine I’m fine I just want to go home…They
strapped me to a back board and loaded me into the ambulance. The x-rays showed
no other damage, and my brother was called to come take me home.
I woke up on
Friday to a brilliant sunny day, damaged but not broken. It should have been a wakeup
call, another one to join the thousands before. Instead I just felt euphoria,
and I went about the day walking on air, completely oblivious to the months of sheer
agony and physio that waited for me just a short day away.
“Wake Up To the Sun” Limblifter
Wake up to
the sun, to the sun
Wake up to
the sun, to the sun
Do ya don't
ya see emergency red
As cynical as
a tank captain
Dirty we met
in the shelter
We live in
the shelter
We'd all like
to be clear
But I don't
want to leave
We lift off
in asylum green
Wake up to
the sun, to the sun
Wake up to
the sun, to the sun
Ya I may be hoping
to get held captive
Elevating a
pattern drunk captain
Dirty we grow
in the shelter
We fight in
the shelter
We all get to
be clear
And I don't
want to leave
We feel good
in asylum green
Wake up to
the sun, to the sun
Wake up to
the sun, to the sun
Wake up to
the sun, to the sun
Relax, wake
up
Relax
Relax
I'm pale in
comparison
No reason to
be mean
It's
confusing me
Stop
confusing me
Relax it's
confusing me
