Hi everybody, Looks like a great site with great info and interesting events.
I am a 4 year owner of 2 C4's one was my driver, one just a parts car. I am presently trying, with the help of some friends to reassemble and finish projects that were started over 1.5 years ago. I originally got held up when my Daughter and Son-in-Law Decided to move their family here from Florida and I had to procure and recondition a house for them. The moved in on June 17, 2010. Six days later, I was riding my motorcycle home from my job, which is 40 miles from where I live, and was the victim of a hit and run driver who nailed me in the on-ramp to a highway and left me for dead. I had 33 fractures including a triple skull fracture, all ribs fractured one collapsed lung, one punctured lung, a triple fracture to the left clavicle, last and certainly not the least, I had 4 massive brain hemmorhages. I expired on the way to the hospital, was recusitated, operated on and put into a coma that I was given no chance to survive. When they brought me out of the coma, I did not know who I was, or anything else about my life, i.e. no memories of anything.
Well, here it is over a year later and through the grace of God and some really hard work on my part, I have escaped almost all of the post traumatic amnesia. My bones are being slow to heal due to the number and severity of all my injuries and the side effects from the traumatic brain injuries are very debilitating but, I work hard everyday at recuperation and hope someday to be my true self once again, and go back to work. The Neurologists and the surgeons keep telling me to be patient but I DO get weary of BEING one. However, all things must pass and I will not give up.
My friends declared that every THursday night is VETTE Night at my garage as they are determing to help me get this favorite car I have ever owned back to being a Daily Driver.
Sorry to be so long winded but it's not and easy history to tell. I am hoping that I can be a member in good standing, help other members, and get information when I need it.
Sincerely,
JeepCycle
P.S. yes there are reasons for my username.lol
