1st June 1998 my life was changed by an accident that was not my fault but it changed my life totally Now 26 years on and looking back on my life since then. Looking back was in a bad relationship but was in a good job. Busy at my work but as normal it was raining all day. Me and my co worker said around 16.00 hrs working on the land we would call it a day at 18.00hrs as it was to wet to carry on cutting the grass on the turf fields. We got parked up at 18.00hrs and of home we went He went one way and i went the other way home. But i didnt know i would make it home. The last i can remember the roads flooded and driving slowly through the flooded parts of the road .Then in distance i could see a lot of water on the road slowed down and a bus came around corner towards me but as it got closer to me in my car it was over the the white line to far and i hit the front of the bus. It then spun me round and last i can remember it hit me again and sent me in my car into the dyke. The next i knew waking up in Leeds Gi hospital not knowing what was going on. That was 10 days after being on life support. I didnt have a clue what was going on why my right angle leg in plaster and my left arm in plaster. It took a long time for me to start to remember who i was and what was going on. Ones who came to see me i didnt know who they where but my daughter was nearly 5 at the time knew her but no one else. My head injury was bad but not break my skull but did move my brain in the impact and broke my senses plate and lost my sense of smell. I was thin from being healthy to just skin and bone. About 2 months later before i started to get parts of my past life memory back in me. Six months later was improving a bit better but my bad relationship was worse and ended up in hospital again with Subcutaneous emphysema as my ex had broke a picture frame in the living room after another one of her rages at me and picked up a piece of glass and stabbed in the throat. After a few hours i could hardly breath and not far from York hospital taxi to it. But ex said say to anyone she had done that to me and i would never see my daughter again. I was seen by police at the hospital and said i wouldnt press charges against her as i didnt want to lose my daughter. After that i knew i had to get away from her. It took time and still not right after the car accident and now this. I had to get away and to rebuild my life again. With court cases about car accident and my daughter and trying to get my life back together was the hardest thing to do in my life. I moved back home and my mum and dad helped me rebuild my life and i coudnt thank them enough for doing for me. Each friday i would drive back to York and pick up my daughter for each weekend. As court cases went on and on and her mother not turning up at the courts for my daughters hearings. I was awarded full custody of my daughter . The car accident court cases went back and forward but after 5 years my solicitor and decided that just take what they offered me and closed it. It was not a lot of money but it helped me for bit to live a bit better. 26 years later as i sit and right this i was then trapped in my car twice dead. At this time of the day. Now iam doing ok my daughter is doing good and a great treat from her was to have her first baby 4 years born on the same day my daughter was born aswell. I worked night shift this last week and now i can chill out the rest of the evening looking at my life the last 26 years .
