I got hit by a pickup truck last year. He broke my foot a few of my ribs and shattered my hip. He flung me from my bicycle causing internal bleeding. Thankfully he hit me almost in front of s police station and the hospital was right across the river.
Take this next part with a big grain of salt because I lost a lot of blood. I could feel myself starting to float above the table. My vision started to get blurry and everything had a white hazy tint to it. The part that was the strangest was how calm I was. I just kept focus on talking even though I was told it was basically nonsense for a bit.
It took me almost and entire year but I went from a wheel chair to walking with a cane. I’ve been going without the cane more and more these days. I’ve been looking into modified bicycles and I’m interested in getting back into riding again someday.
That would be all the drugs. When you suffer a traumatic injury or have a major procedure done in the hospital, they drug you the fuck up. Hard drugs. Morphine, fentanyl, ketamine, etc. Coupled with blood loss, easy to feel like you're not all there.
What happened to the driver?
