The Day That Changed My Life

March 23rd, 2013 seemed like a normal day except we got a snowstorm and I was headed back home a couple hundred miles from home. I was traveling around 15 mph on the highway because of all the snow, in my rearview mirror I could see a semi approaching me and the other vehicles traveling slow in front of me. The next thing I knew the semi had hit the back of my car sending me in a spin, my car was air bound for a few seconds then ricocheting my car back on the highway right between the semi's wheels, at that moment I seen my life flash before my eyes. The car finally stopped, air bag released and my car was smoking. I was knocked out and unconscious but remember strangers trying to open my door to get me out of the vehicle. I had broken ribs and TBI from this accident which changed my life. My doctor's told me if I was not in a y heavy frame mustang I might not of survived the accident, so I am thankful that I am still here, just wish I did not have such horrible migraines. I recently started Brain Paint and am very hopeful that it will help rewire my brain back to almost normal.
