Fatal Car Crash that almost ended my life

[silverbackn]

i was in a bad motorcyle accident in august 2001, had my leg ripped off from just below my knee... i was told i was fucked.. the dr reattached it, but told me he was not going to hold his breath, i would probably never walk again...
i did, almost a year later i was under my own power again.. the mind is the most powerful fucking medicine there is bro..
where there's a will, there's a way.
dont take it lying down.. .
nothing worth having is easy man...
my heart goes out to you.

Damn, that was inspirational! Just goes to show, you can come back from the depths if your will is unbreakable!

Buddy, I wish you luck. The best thing you can do for your sould, body and mind is to stay positive and have goals! You might have to change the way you do things temporarily, but you can still be positive always!

Wow, how can you speak of an experience like this. New to this thread and reading for the last hour through this experience validates my decision to be part of it.

Wish you all the best and as soon as I figure out how to PM i'll contact you.

Well fellas I'm here typing this in a wheel chair doctors tell me I may never walk again. I really want to end my life but I guess I'm just happy to be alive even though anything enjoyable I could ever do is gone!!!! Its weird because the first thing I thought about after the doctor told me this was damn never play sports or work out hard again, not how I'm gonna support myself finacially and how hard I worked for a college degree that is basically down the drain now. I don't want anyone on here to feel sorry for me I just want you guys to appreciate how truly lucky you guys are to walk every day and do the little things I'll never be able to do ever again. Bad part is i was just about to start my first real cycle and I'll never really expierence the changes my body makes like you guys will. I'm basically broke and will be paying doctors bills the rest of my life because of no medical insurance. I'm staring at my cycle and kicking myself because I have over 600 bux of gear I will never be able to use. Its crazy the main thing I'm really upset about is not being able to work out and use this gear because of the image in my head i wanted to be now I'm a damn cripple whos good for nothing! Well sorry I had to share my pathetic sob story with you guys I'm sure noone really wants to hear this and get depressed today for no reason.
I meet some awesome people on here and I probably won't be around much anymore but i will pop my head in some times to say hello. Right now my goal is to work my ass off and one day walk again and prove everyone wrong. Well wish me luck guys I'll miss you guys but will think about the inspiration you give when I'm at my lowest point and ready to give up!

You are good for something, my friend. Hang tough. There is meaning behind all things. Never lose faith and never believe for one moment that there aren't many others out there who have gone through similar experiences.

Never give up. You will find strength and it doesn't need to come from "gear".

Peace,

Conan

damn it bro............ never give up .....keep the faith

 

[SSpiro]

Keep your chin up and my prayers are with you.

Remember the Serenity Prayer..

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.

I think that somewhat applies here.

hang in there, I am sure you will be in everybody's prayers. I wish you the best of luck.

I just joined recently and was reading posts when I came across this one. Bro, I wish you the best in your life. I hope that everything goes well with you. STAY POSITIVE!

Nice comments from everyone believe me at a time like this you guys are really keeping my hopes up!! I just ask everyone gives an extra effort in the gym in dedication for me and my lack of it push yourselves harder while you still have the ability to do so and really appreciate how lucky you guys are!! I will do the same push myself thinking about all these great people on here and their thoughtful comments!

You have my heartfelt condolences over this most unfortunate incident but hey Djicy with an attitude like yours where you can remain focused and concerned about others and their progress at a time like this you will go a long way whether you do or do not walk again, but I am a firm believer in the power of the will to overcome ANY obsticle, especially when told by someone else that you cannot do something that you know you are destined to do. You my friend are destined to walk again and with all our prayers here for you and with your own rocksolid determination hopefully you WILL walk again, if only to prove those of them wrong who did not have faith enough to tell you that it might be a longshot but for those who never give up there is ALWAYS a chance. I, and many others on this thread, have obviously not only heard of others that have stunned the medical community by making that chance a reality, but happen to know of some of them personally that shook the world with only the power of their own will. You can will yourself to walk again - if you just remember this and never give you will have all the chance in the world yourself. Good Luck in your journey and keep us bros posted on your recovery.

Sometimes the power to heal -- comes out of a foundation of positiveness.

Staying positive can help someone move mountains.

Don't give up. You're not paralyzed, so it is possible to one day walk again. And thanks to all the money raised by Christopher Reeve -- many new advances for people in wheelchairs unable to walk, are coming about.

Every day above ground is a good day. Remind yourself of that, and of stories of those who perished who still wished they coudl see their loved ones still. May that be your strength -- that your job on this planet ain't done yet.

Just don't give up.

My health was at shambles due to the military (bad ankle, blood clot, just crap)

Now I am slowly getting myself back into what I used to be.
