it was a saturday, feb 3rd, 2007. i had spent the day helping my friend clear a tree limb from her yard... early evening late afteernoon we find me taking a shower.. i get tired so like i've done 100 or more times before i sit down in the tub, rest my head on the edge of the tub and fall asleep..
some time passes and i wake up.. i cant move, thw water is still on and it is cold,,,
i could not move at all not my legs nor my arms... i have no idea what time it is and begin to realize that i am rather hungry
i try a few more times to get my legs under me no luck.. i evev tried to pull myself up over the edge, so i could 'roll' out of the tub... this is when i realized it was mostly my left side that was broke..
i stayed in that tub of cold water from sat evening til early wednesday afternoon.. my supervisor from work had got concerned that i had not showed up for work, so he called my friend and she came by to chrck on me.
lucky for me this had been a time when i chose not to lock the door..
she found me in the tub naked and shivering and i invite her to comment on her own thoughts..
she couldn't lift me, so sshe called 911 and they came and got me out.they got me warm again and speeded me off to the emergency room..
now, during those 3 days i was trapped i was in and out of conciciousness.\
i remember hollering alot.. mostly for help and mostly in english.. but one time i yelled
' save the penguin! save the world!
and there was other such nonsense.. i remember wanting a cokea cola and a snickers and a smoke for sure all very badly.
it was a horrible ordeal..
later posts will tell about my first week in the hospital, the biginning of rehab, all of rehab and some of the people i met.. some genuine angels..
btw for my NR friends all the therapists assigned to me were/are HOT. illtry to get some pics for subsequent posts..
more later
peace

PIX PLEASE!!!
Of the hot therapists... not of you lying naked in the tub.
I think it's great that you're getting this out there. This is a thing that can happen to anyone, it's great to know that you're not alone.
You know the NR people so well. :)
I can't even imagine how frightening that was. I'm glad to see the sense of humor is still there, though.
was reading your old blog and found the link to your newest one. i'm sorry to hear about your ordeal, hope the therapists' hotness inspire you to get well soon!
Good luck with your new blog.
Hang in there!!
Hey man, noticed you haven't posted in a while. Sorry I haven't checked up on you earlier, been pre-occupied with my own tribulations. I hope you're doing well.
