Hi, I am begging for some help. It's been just over six years now, and I cannot go on any longer. Don't get me wrong. I am thankful to still be alive, just not like this. I need help. Intense physical therapy. Perhaps I should elaborate. On the night of Sept. 23, 2003 I was in a near fatal motorcycle accident. And I was not speeding or wasted. I don't really remember it but here it sis, in a nutshell: I was changing the location of my karate school, and had to clear my head, so I took a drive down the coast on my Yamaha VMAX motorcycle when I ran into 6, I am told, dead Wild Boar, lying on the highway.
I was thrown from the motorcycle. And luckily for me my 30+ years of martial arts training paid off. As I tucked and rolled. This move definitely saved my life. But, as I was thrown ahead of the motorcycle, it caught up to me and hit my head. So I suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury.
I was in a coma for 30 days. And in, what I am told is a semi-coma for five months after. I am at home now, but am disabled. I cannot walk. And not because of loss of limbs. As I am very strong and can stand easily. It is a balance issue. I have none. My doctor says that the nerves in my ‘core’ are damaged.
It is just very difficult. As I am very strong. As at the time of the accident I was a US amateur middleweight kickboxing champion.
Anyway I am now begging for some help. I want to walk. Don’t get me wrong. I am thankful to be alive. It’s just, not like this. I can’t even roll myself in my wheel chair. As when I hit, like I said, I tucked and rolled. And I landed on my left shoulder. Breaking my left clavicle. So I cannot use my left arm or hand. And cannot hold onto or grip a walker.
