My Path to Independence After a Spinal Cord Injury
On January 13, 2017, I was in a car accident. I was on my way to my bank to put money in my account to pay my electricity bill. When I arrived there, I realized I had my purse but I forgot my wallet on the kitchen counter in my apartment. So I started driving my vehicle back home when suddenly it began raining. My tires lost traction, causing my car to start hydroplaning into oncoming traffic. I screamed, but there was nothing I could’ve done; everything happened so fast. I remember all this leading up to the sound of the impact of the first vehicle to hit me. Then everything went black.
