*THE CRASH*

Yes.....*THE CRASH*.....

It looked to be an average to good weekend. Owen was down for the friday evening with Jess and so we decided that Ricky and I would come and have a few drinks at the house they were staying just along the road.
It was a good night sharing a bottle of wine and then a trip out to StarBucks for a coffee and to see Russell.
I however didnt want to be too late because I had plans for the following day...

On the Saturday my Dad was partaking in a road Rally around the Palmserton North area. Relativly close to Wellington in comparison to Tauarnaga or other rally events, so I decided that I would come and watch...

It was a good day the sun was out and I saw some great rallying from a wide selction of NZ drivers.

At about 5pm I decide that I do not really want to attened proze giving and that I would rather drive home...so I leave the motel....

**NO MEMORY**

Next thing I know I wake up in Palmerston North Hospital a few days later. With a very sore head. Sore Knee. and a sore Pelvis. With no recolection as to why and what was going on.

Here is what happened....

I was drivin home ready for a dinner cooked by my bubby Ricky, minding my own business. The straight roads were getting rather tiresome...and then it looks like I fel into a Micro-Sleep for a minute, if that.

Unfortunately this happened while I was driving, and Just before a corner and so my car did not take the corner but instead went straight ahead crossing the centre line.

Perhaps more unfortantely...there was a car heading the other way......This meant.....*HEAD ON AT HIGH SPEED**

So from that I suffered a brain injury, and fractures to my eye socket, my knee cap, and my pelvis. I was in hospital for 3 weeks in total. 2 in Palmy and one in Tauranga.

Such extreme cermamstancs made me realise that life was short. I saw the bigger picture of life, as I think those around me did.

And although it was not the most romantic way of asking,, laying in a hosital bed, I asked Ricky, my bubby, THE QUESTION.

And he said YES!!!

But we wont formalise it for a while yet.

I learnt alot from my CRASH and one thing was DONT DRIVE TIRED!!!!!!!


I also learned how great some people can be...

I wish to extend a MASSIVE THANK YOU to PETER!!!! We Have not known you long but you have already done more for us than I could ever expect!!

I also wih to thank OWEN, RUSSELL, and ROB. For your vists and help throughout the tramua! I OWE YOU ALLl

I also am very glad to have Ricky in my life. At this time he was the one the kept me going and gave me reason to want to live, a reason to be glad I survived. I thank ypu so mch baby for everything and for syaying by my bedside for 19 hours a day! For the garfield for everything!!!!


ANyway that will do for now...
