The Dr that replaced two vertabra held together with a 4 inch plate/ 6 screws after my wreck earlier this year, saw the plate in that covers the entire left side of my head / 5 screws told me that I was what they refer to a "Miracle Patient in their field. She said there was no real medical reason for people that go through stuff like this to be alive other than a miracle. I have always wondered and thought about it and believe 50 years later that it just was not my time.
Welcome to the small and very exclusive "Club",,,, Eric ! I was not your time, and you have the rest of your life to find what you were left around here to accomplish that only you can do. My worst accident happened 49 years and 9 nines ago. I believe I found what I was left around to do, and it was all worth it. Hope it do not take you that long, cause on the way I found out there are times when life really sucks to get to where you are going.
The other night as we were fixing to eat, and I blessed our food and always a little prayer added in I mentioned your name along with a couple other friends I daily pray for, finished up in Jesus' name Amen. My wife asked me who is Eric ? I explained your situation,this was a couple weeks ago, I bet she has been praying for you as well!
Glad you are on your way back, !

God Bless you my friend!
