No pain no nothing! When I had a life threatening vehicle accident I had in 1989 March 30th 6:15pm.

@littletraumamama it must’ve been God that led me to your video. Me and my daddy was so close. He was truly my best friend, and I loved him so much. Words can’t express. My daddy was on his motorcycle (the new 3 wheeler motorcycles) and he was going to speak at a young man’s funeral that passed away from a motorcycle accident. From what his best friend said a 18 wheeler passed them and its tire blew. Daddy’s front tire missed it but his back one didn’t. He flipped and passed of fatal traumatic brain injury. They were riding on the interstate and he flipped. It’s been eating me up… wondering if he suffered. When you were telling the part about morbid curiosity, and you wondered if your patients felt anything… and I knew you were going to tell us if you did. When you were talking, I held my breath, and your face looked like it almost morphed into my daddy’s face when you were saying you didn’t feel anything, and it was like a switch… I could hear him saying that. I feel I was meant to see your video… I really believe that our brains don’t have time to process pain that fast. But I wondered… I feel I know now. Thank you.

I was in a car accident when I was 13 years old. I'm 72 now. On impact I remember being thrown around. I remember hitting my head and a flash like a thunder bolt and a half second of pain. The next thing I remember is being taken from the car and being thrown up in the air as the car was wedged partly in a large culvert about 8 feet off the ground. I laid half on the top of the bank and the other half dangling over the bank. An ambulance and police were called but never came. After about an hour my school bus driver put me in the back of his car and took me 7 miles to the hospital where a RCMP officer and a doctor were standing outside of the hospital with a gurney waiting for me. I had 37 broken bones and carried my ear , that someone put in my hand. I was the only one out of 6 people that had any broken bones. I was in the hospital for 5 1/2 months, in a wheelchair for 5 months and told I would never walk again. I got my father to get me some crutches and started to try. In 2 1/2 years I was able to walk and am still doing very well. Thanks for sharing your experience. And I am so happy that you are doing well.

[@singmysong1167]

How horrible for a 13 year old! Did you ever find out why the ambulance & police never showed up?

[@katiekat4457]

@@singmysong1167 @martageist106 Maybe nobody actually called the police or ambulance bc it would have had to be done by the people who lived in the houses near there and maybe they all assumed each other did it. There weren't cell phones so there was nobody at the scene or driving by that could call. Even if you did drive by, by the time you got to your destination you would assume help was already called or there. Plus, the 911 system was not in existence when your accident occurs. The people that would call would have to look up the emergency direct phone numbers out of the phonebook. If it happened near a payphone you would not only have to pray the the phonebook was still there (people would trash payphone phonebooks for some reason. You would also have to be carrying dimes or quarters with them to make the calls. Police and ambulance are two different calls then. Oh, and you had to pray that the payphone actually worked. People treated them so badly. Another reason that they might not have shown up was bc there also was no such thing as GSP, Navigation, and technology like that. I don't know if it was a main road or not but emergency services would have to find you by looking at a map. The map might not have been up to date or the caller could have mistakenly said the wrong place, or the caller might have said one thing but the one writing down the information might have heard something different. Sadly too, back then emergency services would just not be able to find you. They would be looking for you in another area. Sort of lost in a way. There might not have been street signs up everywhere or house numbers weren't stressed to be so visible like they stress today. Too bad still people don't have their house numbers big and easily seen to this day. People also found house numbers by looking at what number the mail boxes said and a lot of those were either not marked or very poorly marked making it very difficult to find a specific house. I keep saying that they are looking for a house and a house number bc if the accident happened somewhere other than up on the highway, wherever the accident was would be located by the houses that lived very close to the scene and again you had no choice but to run up to the nearest house and ask them to call for help if the people were home. And again, a street name would be found on the map and once you found the street, then you started looking at mailboxes and maybe the house for a house number in order to find you. it is so lucky that you survived and on top of that, thrived. Being thrown from the car was and still is very bad. It's a shame that it took states until the late 1970's - early 1980's before they started making the push for people to wear seat belts. And when people refused to wear them bc they felt the governments were taking away their personal rights, The state after state started to enact laws to try to force people to wear them but for say Massachusetts in 1984, the consequence of not wearing a seat belt was a fine of $15 for the driver and another $15 for each child not wearing a seatbelt. If the other passengers were adults, they got their own fine of $15. Kids would just be bouncing around the in the backseats loose. And the backseat was the most likely place from where you would be thrown out of the car. Plus before you got thrown out you were first banged around all over the place during the crash bc of all the open space. You might get thrown out of the car through the window but bc cars didn't have A/C back in that time, there's a good chance the window was all the way down. Kids love the windows down. unlike todays cars where the backseat windows don't go all the way down, older car windows went all the way down. Other than yelling at you, your mom couldn't even control whether you had the window up or down bc each window mechanically rolled up and down by hand. Not like today where you can just push a button and only the drive controls all the windows. Things started changing slowly though bc of the laws that were in place, kids learning to drive had to wear their seatbelts bc it was law and they would fail their driving license test if they didn't wear them. I'm 54 yrs old and when I was 16 around 1984, Massachusetts had passed their seatbelt law so from the get go of my lifetime of driving I was wearing a seatbelt. After wearing it for the half year of only having a permit to drive with an adult by the time I got my license, I was so used to wearing it that I felt naked without it on and I have always wore it. So basically, as year by year went by all the new drivers wore their seatbelts and made their parents or anybody else in the car do the same until it became so normal to wear it. Deaths and critical injuries from car accidents plummeted as people started wearing them. If you ask any paramedic if you could do just one thing that would help you live out a long life, they will say wear your seatbelt bc when people don't it's the worst things that paramedics see. Sadly, by the time a paramedic retires, they are stricken with PTSD. Whether they ever get diagnosed or help for it is a different story. So wear you seatbelts. And be thankful for all the technology that we have today. Anyways, sorry this is so long. I didn't mean for it to be. I am so glad that you made it through your accident and ended up doing really well. Take Care both of you.

From experience I have a great fear of being passenger on a motorcycle,no "sissy bar" as they were called to keep me on the bike, passenger on a snowmobile driven at high speed by a lunatic and my ex husband had a flying qualifying certification and flying over our city with our dog. Sheer terror on landing which you see everything of. I was fortunate in all cases. My ex husband finished his motorcycle hobby sliding on wet leaves and coming off the bike with mild injuries. I was young then but have never forgotten. I'm very pleased you survived all that I feared. ❤

My brother passed in a car wreck July 27 2022. He was Tboned by a reckless driver at 8:22am. Witnesses that ran to him said it was instant yet I still always wonder if he knew or if he felt anything. Your story is oddly comforting. (I'm so sorry if that's offensive, I don't mean it to be at all) I'm glad you're here to tell your story and let survivors know they're not alone.

[@littletraumamama]

It's not offensive at all. I put that in there because I had gotten so many comments from people wondering about loved ones they've lost in accidents like mine. My goal with speaking on it was to provide some comfort if I could to loved ones of the people who didn't make it. I'm so sorry that you lost your brother!

[@TraceyAthena]

My brother was killed “instantly”in a motorcycle accident, he t-boned a truck that had pulled out in front of him. witnesses said he had no time to react…I felt the same comfort when I heard her story….to be honest it’s the first time I have felt that since losing him.😢

[@Missdeemeaner461]

I was in jeep accident in army on base, in the field, sand pits, training, long story short I told Sargeant i couldnt make the turn onto a road. I felt i was going to fast, he was being wild, he grabbed the shifter and steering wheel making the turn, himself, we Hit a culvert, guy in back thrown over me his boot hit back my head, the brain doesnt instantly register pain, you feel the pressure of the object or whatever, but not pain yet. I had stitches, the jeep totaled sarge high, that was the 70s, that accident made me not scared to die then. I had concussion, felt in daze few days, I got better.

[@iSheree]

If the people said he was gone by the time they got to him, he most definitely didn’t feel anything. I was in a traumatic accident when I was 17, I was in so much shock it took a while for me to start feeling the pain… In fact, I had no idea my neck was broken. I hope that brings you peace somewhat. So sorry for your loss.

Back in 74 I had an accident on a motorcycle, a car pulled out in front of me. I hit the car doing 70mph, it all happened in slow motion, before the impact I stood up and flew at least 100ft through the air.I landed in a water filled ditch, stood up and walked back to the car. The car was almost cut in half, and the female drivers femur ( thigh bone) was broken. My bike was totaled but I only had a few bruises. My Guardian Angel was on overtime that day. Still riding 49 years on.

He was living with me at that time and when he didn’t come home, I knew something was wrong. At 1am the Coroner called me to give me the news, I was only told that he died instantly. I appreciate that you have explained it from your perspective and it gives me relief that you did not feel impact. And it gives me relief and hope that it was possibly the same for him. His name was Chuck and he died 9/27/16. 😢 Thank you

I broke my C2 in a car accident in 1982. When I was able to understand what was going on at the hospital, I asked if I'd have to wear a halo and I was told they didn't use those anymore. I was grateful because in the mid 70s I went to school with a girl that broke her neck in a car wreck and she had to wear one. I had a lot of doctors tell me that I was lucky to be alive and I was getting really tired of hearing that. Finally, after one doctor told me this, he explained that I broke what was called the 'hangman's vertebra' which is the one that severed the spinal cord when people were hanged. He told me that I was the first person he ever met that had survived a broken C2. I changed my attitude right then realizing that I was, indeed, lucky to have survived and, that was with severe head and brain trauma as well.

[@vintagebarbieworld9272]

I am so glad that you are here to tell your amazing story:) For my own self I don’t believe in luck at all and get very tired of as well of hearing people say how lucky they were or how lucky someone is as I believe in God and it is God who performs the miracle of saving someone from death and tragedy and my Faith in Him is what sustains me:) These are my personal beliefs and opinions though:) To me you were definitely saved for a greater purpose and I hope you are thriving in your life:)God Bless You♥️!

That's weird because I'm a retired neuro trauma nurse and took care of several patients who were in halos for high neck features. We even would do them bedside if needed. I was working neuro/trauma from 91 to 2007...

[@lorischaefer5090]

You are so right. I was in a left turn lane at a stop , a woman driving at 80 mph, erratically was coming straight at me. I knew I was going to be hit. I closed my eyes and waited for impact (with no way to avoid it). When impact happened , I heard it but did not feel anything. Not even the airbags. When I opened my eyes , my car was spinning down the road. I felt no pain and thought damn I am fine. I wasn't. I had many broken ribs, cuts, internal bleeding, Right lung bleeding inside, very small airbag pin stuck right between my eyes. Over the next 2 days my entire torso turned black and blue. It is amazing that something kicks in to protect us from the details. Best wishes to your future continued healing.

[@zariballard]

Omg..."...something kicks in to protect us from the details" 😢😢😢😢.

[@AT-wl9yq]

What you did probably saved your life, or at the very least, prevented your injuries from being much worse. The average person usually doesn't know about this, but if you've ever taken any type of classes for racing cars, motorcycles, or certain sports, one of the very first things they teach you is what to do in an accident. You need to condition yourself to not become rigid, or tense up, if you know you're about to crash. History has shown that injuries tend to be much worse, or even fata, if your body is rigid on impact. Making yourself loose, helps your body absorb the impact. Think of it as if you were jumping off something like a single story roof. If you keep you legs straight when you land, you'll have some very serious injuries. If you let your legs collapse naturally on impact, it saves you from the full impact. When you saw the accident coming and closed your eyes, that probably saved your life. The same thing is very typical with drunk drivers. We've all herd stories about how the drunk person was the only one to walk away from the accident. That's usually why. They didn't see it coming, and everyone else did.

[@823850]

@@zariballard Yeahhh. I was going to comment in here about more than one thing stemming from serious brain damage in 2007, due to poisoning, high dose of Lorazepam, part of a dental scam. I react to those words "it was his brain saving him from that memory." My case was very complex, many years. There are things that I still need to forget, but there were two things which I blocked out at the time. One was my top front teeth bending backwards pretty far, a result of severe fright, but I don't remember it, just a single instant of memory. I also had a couple of violent brain attacks, but I don't recall it, just a moment of it. (The hairline cracks in my tooth enamel took four months to perfectly heal. I could feel it with my pinky fingernail, hard to see. The crack didn't just fill in. The tiny sharp corners first dissolved away to a curved smooth profile, and that then filled in.) I first wanted to say this: I was in hell and despair for years, I had no hope. Eventually I was surprised to find myself healing. At ten years, I proclaimed myself healed. Not completely, but not how I had been! Also, I met a friend that I hadn't seen in a long time. She seemed normal. She told me she had a traffic moment and her head jerked hard. No whiplash, but some brain slosh. Right away, she could no longer speak. She told me...and this REALLY got my attention..."My brain told me that it was my corpus collosum." Yow! I would become VERY familiar with the notion that our brains have different parts, and what our brains know in detail, they may not tell Conscious Us what it knows until a better time. Had a lot of that. This is not trivial. My public service announcement: You may be in hell and despair, but I got back in ten years, and my friend took six years. That seems awfully long at the front end, but know that there may indeed finally come the day of victory. Patience. Read War And Peace, that'll pass time.

[@gracekelly2810]

You are doing amazing! I was hit by a drunk driver in 1983. He killed 5 people. I saw him coming a few seconds before the impact. There was absolutely northing we could do. Nothing. We flipped 7 times, I went out through the windshield on the 4th roll. I landed 100+ feet from the truck, on the back of my head on the median. To this day I have the shirt I was wearing showing the grass stains. My best friend died that day. He kept a promise he made to my Mom as we were walking out the door. He said "Momma K, I would die saving your daughter's life" 22 minutes after that comment, my friend did just that. I had many broken bones, cuts, gashes, glass, etc. God was with me, I felt absolutely no pain whatsoever until a few days later. God bless you for sharing your story. You are a beautiful lady with a incredible life journey. Sending you blessings....

Several years ago I too had a motorcycle accident. I woke up on the road realizing I had an accident, no pain at that time, loss of memory to this day that also drives me crazy.

To lose a child is one of life's great tragedies. Heart reaches out to you. When a person faces an immediate threat, the body pours large amounts of adrenaline into the body. The adrenaline mitigates any pain response. You are suffering more than your son did.

I understand the not remembering much and the no pain . Because it just happened to me three weeks ago. The semi I was riding in went over side of mountain and went down over 75 feet. Trees is only thing from us going over another cliff. I remember hearing no brakes can stop. Then remember coming to and seeing nothing but blackness all around. Then remember I started screaming for someone to get me out. Only to realize no help was coming for awhile. So had to clear my mind and pull hair out to free my head then reach up and behind me to unlock the seat beat . Then push myself up right . Because I knew I was trapped upside down. Managed to find my bags but nothing else . My shoes were missing. Got them out and myself and climbed back up the mountain to wait for help. By that time august was already at the top and he got another trucker to go get help. Only after I got to the top is when I seen my right arm had many layers of skin missing. From finger tips to little past my elbow. Some places they said five to six layers of skin was missing. Only felt pain when they went to clean it. They said we were walking miracle. Because the truck was ripped apart and parts of the engine had been on top of me and I managed to push them off. And the trailer split into three sections. The truck looked like someone peeled the top off and crushed parts of the truck. Still have open wounds size of golf balls and almost month later. But still don’t understand how you and I felt no pain even though we had bad injuries.

I think getting out all information to everyone is so important. So very glad you are with us! My brother had a car accident and broke his neck. He survived but with a traumatic brain injury. Even with that he had a hospital incident and he saved his own life. He was an RN. In the hospital an aide came in to give him his first shower. He went into shower and he was told they were taking off his halo. That is a device to keep your head attached to your body. He said I don't believe I should do that. She insisted and started to take it off. She started unscrewing the device and he grabbed a hold of the device and said get me a nurse. Thank God he was aware enough to know. The nurse immediately sent the aide away and fixed the device back to his head. This was such malpractice. He was just so relieved was still alive. Taking off the halo could have killed him.

[@jessicasnaplesfl7474]

Often throughout my adult life, I can't help but think that for the best chances of survival, the entire population should be sent through MEDICAL SCHOOL. Our health care system is badly screwed up and patients need to practice medical SELF-DEFENSE to protect themselves against the many incompetent health care workers, including doctors, that have managed to make it into the position of "caring" for patients.

I dont think you saying that you were never “comfortable” means you weren’t “capable” you said exactly why you rode the way you did and felt the way you did. Because you were a paramedic and knew exactly what could happen so it isn’t that you weren’t “comfortable” you were simply “cautious” and that’s ok! Accidents happen every day unexpectedly….we never get up that morning and think “today is the day something terrible will happen to me or someone I love” we are praying to the Lord above that today won’t be the day!God bless you and thank you for having the strength and resilience to share your story! I had an accident with a man in a motorcycle back in 2005 when I was 20 years old and that day will never leave my mind! He passed away! His name was Paul Steven Hampton! He was the same age as my father at the time. I had just had a baby girl and thankfully left her at home with my mom. I went to take a left turn in my Nissan pickup truck and all the sudden I was knocked out by an airbag! Next thing I knew a nice man that lived nearby came to my aid and told me not to look to my left but of course I did! In my mind I thought I hit a deer…I had no idea what hit me! I couldn’t breathe from the powder from the air bag and my face was pounding and cut open! But I saw the man lying in the road face down ….and I knew then something terrible had happened! He was driving a BMW bike. As I was taking my left turn he was coming up over a hill at a high speed, and hit my right front fender and then it was awful from there! They had to life flight him and I remember my mom getting a phone call and calling me to the kitchen and having me sit on her lap and she told me he didn’t make it….my life was never the same. I would go to the crash site every day and I collected pieces of his bike. I met one of his friends there who came up to me and said “I don’t know if I want to hit you or hug you” and she hugged me. She said she j ew it was an accident and that they found alcohol at the scene. I was taken to court for the accident and there were many of his loved ones and bike members there …the judge stated that he was traveling well above speed and they couldn’t prove if the alcohol containers were from him but he did have it in his system. None of that mattered to me, a man’s life was taken and to me it was my fault. If I hadn’t been where I was in that moment he would still be here. I began seeing a counselor because my family begged me to. I wasn’t well. Especially going to the crash site daily! It wasn’t healthy! Keeping newspaper clippings and parts of his bike! It took many years for me to be able to live my life in a healthy way again. I hope people know just how dangerous it is to travel on motorcycles on main roads at high speeds….and also all drivers n all vehicles need to be well aware of motorcycles and if they’re anywhere near them be very mindful and give them plenty of space. Be courteous on the roads period! God bless

I woke up to a medic in my face and a firefighter trying to hold my c spine. I had a head injury, several broken vertebrae, a posterior dislocated hip with a fracture of the femoral head, knocked all 8 of my front teeth out, a broken maxilla and mandible, bit a portion of my tongue off, and a skull fracture. I was fighting the medics, and trying to straighten myself up due to the hip dislocation i thought i was crooked. My mother passed in the MVC and I probably should have too. I do remember the pain after waking up, but strangely only from my hip. Thank you for sharing!!!

Old subscriber here, and I never get tired of hearing your story! In fact, hearing you talk about your experience prompted me to ask my dad about his own motorcycle accident in the early 70s. People in the family have always made passing comments about it, but I never knew that he came very, very close to dying. No helmet, no gear, just a motorcycle in a field and a very unfortunately placed ditch. Medical team told my mom and grandparents to say goodbye. Somehow he pulled through, and now he's in his 70s, still living with the old injuries. Never got back on a bike!

Sure glad you survived. I'm a long-time rider myself. You have so many more good things left to do in this world brave woman. Don't beat yourself up about your ability. Those larger Harleys handle horribly in emergencies compared to some bikes no matter how skilled the rider. Too many riders start out with those biggie piggie twinnies though. It's common to fixate on an object and wreck without realizing it happened. I know I have hit an odd curve and had to fight the instinct not to lean and add throttle. Your mind tells you to slow down, but to complete that turn fast you may have to lean and gun it and let the gyro action of the bike carry you through against every instinct. They are just gyroscopes after all. Thank goodness nobody moved you the wrong way that day! And please people...don't take her description of the guard rail ride to mean you should not wear a helmet. DO gear up. Road rash is no picnic either and can cause limb loss. Health care for all. It's time.

The first thing she said is that I wish I could go with her. 3 days later I lost her to covid she passed before I got there. I spoke to her shortly before she passed I believe. I still had to fly from Massachusetts to Florida calling the hospital constantly to check her status. I told her I was coming to Florida and needed permission to make medical decisions for her. And the last thing my sister ever said to me was yeah, I'm sick I'm really sick. I told her I knew I told her I loved her and that I was coming as I said I didn't make it in time and I often wonder did you know that she was going to pass away? Did she suffer.

I haven't suffered anything as severe as you did, by far... but I did nearly die. The surgeon at one point said he didn't think I was going to live another hour. I truly believe it was because so many people were praying for me that I did survive. I have deficits, too, but I'm very thankful to be alive and for all the great medical care I did receive... although it also created the problems and deficits I have today.

I have ridden all types of bikes (motorcycles) since I was a preteen (nearly 70 now). I learned on dirt bikes doing tricks. I was fortunately never injured at all (road or off road). Twenty years ago, someone didn’t use their parking brake and didn’t put their standard transmission in gear upon exiting their car. While they were in a building, their car rolled down hill gaining momentum and hit me. I was “severed” in my chest wall and my spine, lungs, ribs, abdomen, liver, and spleen were injured, and my aorta was nearly severed, which would have killed me instantly. I was bed ridden for 5 years after which I had my own platelets and stem cells injected into hundreds of holes in my chest wall over more than one session. To this day, there are no reported cases in the medical literature like it. I have a medical clinic and know medicine and injury as a professional but my case is unique. For context on my body prior to the accident, I was nearly killed at birth by the assistant doctor. I also had a traumatic brain injury when I was finishing college due to a car accident when a drunk driver hit my car without braking. I was told by neurologists that I would become severely cognitively incapacitated within a few years. I feel nothing but fortunate as I have recovered almost 100% from all of those events. You also are very fortunate as you said but you also deserve so much credit. I am so very proud of you. i want to propose something to you. What if your dad is a better person because of how he chose to go through this with you and then seeing you come through it?

BUT, my goodness, the tears flowed let me tell ya when I watched that video! Anywho, I’m glad your here with us to tell your story and to hopefully help another! I’m now going to watch this video, have a beautiful day ❤

Here supporting my fellow Alabamian. I’m not sure how I found your channel but I’m glad you’re here to tell it. I used to be a volunteer firefighter and went thru EMT basic and have a medical assisting background: until I was forced to get the 💉. I stated having reaction symptoms within hours the first & second ones, 6 months later I had a cva while in clinic: insert traumas 1&2: my employer & hospital. ER nurses getting mad at me bc I can’t tell them my meds-when I came in with a (ahh crap sorry I can’t think of the name) printout of my meds and insurance/pertinent information. They thought I was faking. On stroke floor x 5 midnights.Anyways I’ve blabbed long enough😂. Sorry about that👀

You did great! Enjoyed every minute of it. I will be excited to see the next episode come out!

[@littletraumamama]

Thank you, Kaylin! The goal right now is an episode a week! As soon as I get my fiber optic internet (now they’re saying mid September) I’m going to be hosting a lot more lives!

[@kaylingauthier4261]

@@littletraumamama They keep extending the time you are getting fiber optic doesn't surprise me for how much work goes into it. I did graduate with a degree in it. It's little glass fibers that need to be spliced together and there could be over a thousand they have to do. Anyway looking forward to it!

You are indeed a miracle, listening to you share your story with such clarity and calmness is also amazing. I am a retired speech therapist and will be interested to hear about your progress with any brain injury issues. I have also been in an ICU for six days due to septic shock from an infected kidney. It was a very traumatic experience . I know I have PTSD from it because I experienced another medical emergency sixteen years later and went into a deep depression during my recovery due to being triggered by that. Anyway, I am glad you came out of your experience so well and are able to do this channel. It is greatly appreciated.

What an unbelievable miracle that you survived to tell your story 😮. Thank you for sharing it. I had no idea that injuries like yours were survivable; you always hear and out how important it is to not move someone with a potential spinal injury, but you somehow survived being pulled off the guardrail and moved multiple times after that. I lost my mom in a violent car accident that left my Dad crippled for the rest of his life. The wreck was so extreme and her injuries so severe that I was pretty sure she didn’t experience any pain, but your story was comforting nonetheless. Thanks again for sharing.

[@littletraumamama]

I'm so sorry to hear that 🙁

[@DaveEtchells]

@@littletraumamama Nothing compared to your experience, but thanks for the note, and once again for sharing in the first place ❤️

[@1purplerose]

What a powerful account. You're a great historian! I've been a nurse for 30 years and find it awesome that you lived through ALL THE HORRIFIC injuries and are sitting there looking so great. I'd love to view the 2nd segment. May God bless you on your journey. 💜💜

I’m glad you recovered from this traumatic experience and thanks for sharing your story, from a fellow motorcycle rider.

Thanks. Your story is helpful. Glad you are telling it. Subscribed.

[@dougmoran13]

You’re very lucky my dear. I was in a near fatal (to me) head on crash c/w multiple broken bones, TBI, etc etc & the pain was not only memorable but the most intense pain imaginable. I was first knocked out, but awoke before the ambulance & helicopter arrived & my son not memory is the pain in those few minutes. Luckily I again passed out from the pain, but I’ll never forget its intensity. Absolutely horrendous!

[@amhall1970]
