The Man
MY GREATEST
SUCCESS I was
driving a 1955 Oldsmobile when the left front tire blew out and the car
careened over a cliff crashing 150 feet below.
My face hit the metal dashboard of the '55 Oldsmobile.
I broke my jaw, nose, my facial bone structure and my optic globes
burst. My left leg was ripped
open and was bleeding profusely. Spinal
fluid was leaking through my nose. My
rescuer found me several hours later.
In the Emergency Room the Doctors infused 3 pints of blood. The Doctors did not expect me to live another 24 hours.
Their prognosis was that if by some miracle I did live, I would be a paraplegic or a quadriplegic and at a
minimum a vegetable because of the severe loss of spinal fluid.
My family and friends maintained
a prayer vigil for my recovery.
At least one of them was in the hospital waiting room 24 hours a
day. Miraculously without
medical intervention the lesions from which my spinal fluid was leaking
healed. While I was still unconscious,
the Doctors operated many times. Among
other things, they performed a tracheotomy, nose, cheek and facial
reconstruction surgeries, a gastrostomy and wired my jaw shut.
Twenty-four days later they released me from the hospital.
I returned multiple times for follow-up operations but I am far
from being a vegetable. The
Lord has blessed me in so many ways.
I have a family, I own my own company, I have earned multiple
college degrees, I have lost my eyesight only and I walk with a Seeing Eye
dog. My accident happened in
1967. My
greatest success is my life each and every day since I was blinded.
