I’m back after the most horrifying events of my life (and forgive me if I don’t want to talk about it in detail to much). It seriously feels like a month has gone by and it feels like forever since I was last here. Thanks to Sean (jigsaw) for keeping in contact with my wife and you guys giving updates to both sides, I really appreciate it. I am stuck in a wheelchair due to muscle damage I received in my legs but it is only temporary, my muscles have been healing pretty well but their just too sore for me to walk on my legs. My arms and hands are sore, pretty much every part of my body seems to be sore but thank God there is no permanent damage anywhere. And as you can see, I’m out earlier than they originally expected.

I just want to say thanks to everyone who showed concern in this situation. Sean told me wife of all the feedback and while I was helpless in my hospital bed, my wife told me of the kind words everyone had to say and it made me cry. It made me realize just how much vizzed board meant to me and how much I mean to a lot of people on the vizzed board community and that is something I truly missed when I was away. Again, I want to say thanks for the support everyone had, especially to Geeogree, his response to the situation gave me a whole new respect for him. I also really appreciate seeing Bigbob and MichaelVash come around. And of course I really appreciate everyone else’s concern as well and I really appreciate the prayers.

Basically I was coming home from my parent’s house with more stuff to sell on ebay for my Dad and I was hit by a drunk driver who swerved into my lane. Thankfully neither of us were killed and I was fortunate enough that his passenger side hit my passenger side and that we had no passengers. If my wife had come with me, she would’ve been killed for sure since the passenger side was completely destroyed. I’m also thankful that the drunk driver wasn’t driving very fast and we hit each other in such a way that the impact wasn’t as bad as a true 60 on 60 MPH head on collision, but it was still bad. I lost a lot of blood and don’t remember a lot during the accident but it’s not something I feel comfortable talking about right now, it’s still too fresh in my head and I’ve lost a lot of money because of this due to the stuff that was destroyed in the car and my car itself, etc. I hope my accident can be used as a lesson though to always wear seatbelts (we both were and there’s no way we would’ve lived if we hadn’t) and to never drink and drive.

During the situation, there were times when I wasn’t sure I was going to live or not. Being in such a situation like this is so scary that you don’t know what will happen so I simply trusted in the lord and prayed and knew that if it was my time, I was ready but I also felt like I had so many unfinished businesses left on this planet. I thought about my wife and how important she is to me and how I’d hate to have her see my death and to be left alone without me. I also thought about the possible people out there who hate me and I don’t want to leave this planet being hated, so from here on out, I’m going to make peace with anyone who dislikes me and apologize for anything I may have done wrong to cause anyone to hate me. I feel like I’ve been given a 2nd chance at life and I’m not going to ruin it. Another thing I thought about was things I never finished such as games, my websites, etc – so this week I’m going to finish up the things I’ve wanted to do with Vizzed Board and I will be making threads about what I plan to do in the Development Forum (of course the doctor said to take it easy and relax so I won’t be on a whole lot this week).

Again, thanks for everyone’s support.
