I Almost Died Today...But Hey I am Ok!

I am sorry I have not posted much. I have just had a lot going on the last few days, work and seeing August in the hospital, yes he is back in the Johnson Unit, it’s the secure unit. It’s a room locked in a room, locked in another room and then once more another room that’s locked, it is very very intense, trust me when I say you don’t want to be there very long. While I was there a woman was having a meltdown, yelling, screaming cursing and let’s not forget throwing furniture over her head at people. August saw but did not see anything at the sometime…if you can understand that. I was visiting with him for an hour and half and he only smiled at me once. He is like a zombie, devoid of emotion. It’s hard having someone you care about (but at the same time not…) have no idea who you are. At one point I was holding his hand trying to show him that I was there for him as a friend nothing more. He was holding on to my hand very tightly and looking into my eyes. He said under his breath “I remember you” he looked like he was going to cry he took my hand and kissed the back of it and then tried to kiss me but I just pressed his face to mine.  It was sad when I had to go he just stood and watched with blank look on his face. I have not seen in like a week so I don’t know if he is any better or not, I hope he is doing better.


Anyway today I seriously almost died. I was biking to a friend’s house before work and for those of you that don’t know I live on a huge hill. I was biking downhill when I heard this noise, I turned and saw that my back pack flew off the back of my bike I was trying to stop but I was going fast and downhill soooooo I flew in the air and when I came to the back of my bike was on my face. My back is all bloody along with my elbow, hip and other random body parts. My left leg is swollen, and I have a small cut on my chin but the rest of my face is ok (Sweet Lord of the Rings! Thank you!). Luckily for me no one was driving behind me, a woman (named Lora) was driving up hill and stopped to help me along with a man (named Roger)who heard me crash. (According to Roger he said the crash sounded really bad and Lora said it looked awful she thought that I was dead or that I had to go to the hospital…) Roger got all my stuff out of the road and tried to make sure I was ok, they were very sweet people. Lora gave me a ride to my friend’s house. I said thank you but I was really shaken I was crying for like 45 min and it wasn’t because I was in pain physically it’s because I was emotionally hurting. I can barley move now. I never made it in to work that day and I think my boss kind of hates me now. My life is kind of sucking at this point…but at least it keeps me on my toes.


(PS: Always wear a helmet! I swear that if I wasn’t wearing one I could be in the hospital now or dead…that things saved my life. So be smart and wear one!)
