Shawn's Story

Life I moved from Titusville Florida in 95' to Greenville South Carolina. About one year later my parents were moving again and allowed me to move out to experience life. I was told that I could return to live with them at anytime. I would have to say that I had some of the best times of my life during this time. I was 16 and had awesome roommates. We had a 4 bedroom house with myself, Nick who was about 25 at the time, Levi who was about 19 and James who was about 30. Needless to say alcohol was easy for me to get. A few months later I went to visit my parents but on the way back my car engine screwed up. When I got back I had no car but did no what I wanted thanks to my neighbors. Bear and Mike were hardcore bikers but some of the best guys I've ever known. I had great times with them and they got me into motorcycles. I bought a motorcycle and had the time of my life riding it. I didn't wear a helmet because I loved the feel of the wind. I was young and invincible so I thought. About 2 months into riding people kept saying that I needed a helmet just to be safe. So I finally bought a helmet. About 35 minutes later a car hit me and I almost died. On the impact of the hit I bent my handle bars almost straight up breaking my right arm, knocking my left knee out of place, breaking my big toe on...Expand for more
my right foot, shattering my pelvic bone over the gas tank which crushed the metal tank, had brain swelling with blood in my brain ...... doctors said they were 90% sure I would be dead in 4 hours. I made it through that and they were amazed. They then said I would be a vegetable for the rest of my life and never be able to walk again. I made it through that and was in a bed but had loss of short term memory so I didn't even know that my parents were my parents. My memory finally started working right and I had to learn to walk again. The hospital said that they had never seen a recovery as fast as mine and didnt know how to explain it. I was out of the hospital in a month and one week and working a month later. I was given a psychological test to make sure I was on the level I was suppose to be. At 17 I was test on the level of a 30 year old so needless to say my brain was in good condition. The only side effect I have is no sense of smell, but I can live with that. Thanks to God I am still living. Life has been good to me so far. I bought a 3 bedroom house on 2/3 of an acer a couple days after I turned 23. I plan on buying a second house in the next 2 years for investment purposes. In a few months I'm looking at buying another motorcycle too. I also think I will go Germany in 2006 and try some wines.
