Unexpected Chaos Picking Up the Pieces
Strange how unexpected events can change the course of our lives, creating chaos and, in turn, influencing our decisions moving forward.
In June 2017, such an event occurred in my life. I was riding my motorcycle to work early one morning and had the right of way to continue through an intersection on a green light. An individual travelling toward me made a left turn into me and my life changed in that moment man and machine separated, which led to my injuries and a written-off motorcycle.
I suffered numerous abrasions, a torn meniscus and a shoulder dislocation that has required two surgeries. My life’s course took a new direction involving hospital visits, lawyers, insurance companies, and occupational and physical therapy. Not to mention the personal, psychological, professional and social toll that go along with that. These challenges continue, and my effort to get back to a somewhat normal life continue three years later.
