Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

When I opened my eyes, I couldn t move. I couldn t talk. I couldn t breathe on my own . . . I stared at the cracked paint on the ceiling and thought, How did I get here? What happened? I didn t remember a thing. I didn t know that the night before . . . I d plummeted 75 feet off a cliff to the sand and rocks below. When my parents first saw me in the hospital with tubes stuck all over my swollen body and oxygen being pumped into my throat and lungs, they didn t recognize me.

I wanted to walk and swim and climb and fly free on my bike again. I will not spend the rest of my life in this prison. The doctors didn t have faith in much recovery for me, and the Navy wanted to sweep my accident under the rug and pretend what really happened didn t. But as Mom had tried to tell everybody myself included they had no idea whom they were dealing with.…
