Trigger warning for blood, PTSD, anxiety, car crash… sorry guys I have a concussion and I didn’t know or remember to put trigger warning.
On June 2, 2021, I was hit by a truck in downtown Orlando while riding one of the popular motorized scooters. My head struck the ground, I reached my hand to the back of my head, I saw blood, and I screamed. I was rushed to the emergency room for head trauma. I received staples for my scalpel laceration. The doctor removed, stitched a nicked artery, and re-stapled my scalp. I was also treated for horrific roadrash on my back.
I am traumatized. I have been involved in several car wrecks in the last 2 years. My daily transportation is the scooter. In this transitional phase of my life I’ve been dealing with previous medical expenses, mental health therapy for my anxiety, PTSD, and depression. This accident only takes away from my quality of life. I am facing a very long road to recovery that will take patience, compassion, and help from my family and friends.
