Not always the way you planned…

As many of you already know I got hit by a car…SUV that is…As a pedestrian…

And lemme tell you, whatever we may think or how strong we feel, we are still VERY fragile and unprotected as I found out the hard way… I’m not gonna go into details and tell the story…All u need to know is that he was drunk, young, cocky and out of control… Speeding in a school zone and I got hit on pedestrian crossing…With speedbumps and all…

Moment of impact was VERY hard and I flu through the air…But I had plenty of time to think abt stuff as I was airbourne…LOL

Kinda like in the movies, in slow motion almost…I remember clearly the sound of his front hiting me in the back(thank God I heard no cracks, altho I DO have ribs broken) I can clearly remember faces of ppl around me as I was catapulted, jaws droppend, eyes bulging…It’s kinda funny now when I remember that… I even had time to think how I’m gonna land…SHould I fall on my back, or try to get on my feet, or why not land on both elbows…Yeah thats a good idea!!!! It turned out it WASN’T!!!!HAHAAHAHAHHA

But I didn’t have much choice…I was holding something in my arms… And that something was NOT to be damaged…

And so I flew!! And then BAAMMMM!!!! LAnding wasn’t the softest…Crack noise check!!!!! All clear!! Once again I avoided fracture!! Couple of scratch free rolls on the concrete(thank God I had thick leather jacket) and I was safe again… Checked my baggage… No damage..COOL!!!!

Got up, walked to the car and realized airbags deployed on it!!!LMAO I was pretty big target to hit I guess…What brought joy to my soul was a sight of him bleading out of his nose(he hit the airbag on impact) so I grabbed him by neck and pulled him out and make sure that nose blead doesn’t stop anytime soon…Turns out his nose was broken but we’ll never know if it was before or after I landed a few on it!!!HAHAHAAHA

Adrenalin was pumpin’, I felt good and security guys from school had quite a task to wrestle me of that idiot and calm me down… Then I remember my own safety and quickly checked myself for bleading and more fractures…I knew ribs were broken, I had trouble breathing and it happened before…Not a big deal…Couldnt check my back but they were numb anyways… Then I felt it like mountain sitting on the top of me… I just felt drained and weak and were sitting down waiting for the ambulance…They got me to the hospital, did too many check ups(thank God I wasn’t planning on having more kids, after all those x-rays I dont think I can anymore…LMAO), they wrapped my ribs up and sent me home…

Today I feel great!!! I mean, it hurts like HELL!!!! But I feel great to be alive and well!! I feel great that @sshole is in jail!! I feel great I’m gonna be ok in a little bit and visit him in that jail and laugh in his face!! And at his broken nose!!!!

At first I was devastated, I hate feeling weak and injured!! I hated the fact that my competition prep is over…I hated that I have to stop training…That I cant do things I normaly do… It was my son’s Birthday friday and my wifes Bday on thursday…They got a nice present…Alive ME!!!!!!HAHAAHAHA

I know it’s not much but it is to me!!! I like me!!!I couldnt ask for anything more on my B-day!!!LMAO

Can you tell I got too much time on my hands now?? I can move my left leg much more(it was kinda numb from impact for a while) and I can arch my back a little…It doesn’t look pretty but I’m getting better by minute!! At least my spirits are up!! As you can hopefuly see!!

All i wanted to say here(before I went on a writting rampage) was that we don’t know what tomorrow brings…It might be nice , but most likely it wont be so nice after all…So we need to live every day to it’s fullest and enjoy life as much as we can!!! Tell that someone you love them or that other someone you hate them…You might not get another chance!!!

Ah yes!!! And train HARD!!!! Doctor told me that only thanks to my build I got away with almost no injuries…She said most of the time ppl hit like that end up dead or in a wheelchair!! So, if you needed an excuse to get your @ss out of that chair and on treadmill there’s one for ya!!!!

And one last thing…Just in case tomorrow has someting BAD for me…LOL

I LUV YA ALL!!!!! YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!!!!! HAHAAHAHAAHAHA

    Holy crap!!! I am so glad you are ok, and equally glad you got to land a few on that S.O.B!!!!! (if able I would’ve pounded the crap outta the guy too) School zone…I shudder to think of a little one being in your place (he/she most definitely wouldn’t have been as lucky). Heel fast hon! >> :)


  5. Motorbiker Says:

    Glad to hear your okay and getting better by the momentl and Im ESPECIALLY glad that cock face is in jail. Great message at the end and I fully agree. Never miss a chance to tell someone you love them. Hope your able to get back into the gym to be a giant brick again. HAHA, thats awesome that the airbags deployed! I hope he wasn’t wearing a seatbelt so he got the full blast of that air bag. Sounds wrong, but he was WAY in the wrong.


  6. BBDiesel Says:

    Nice job! I am so glad you will be okay! I got so much out of what you were communicating, especially the part with needing to enjoy each day, so very true! Please recover quickly so that you can continue to prep for the upcoming show or one later in the year:-) I appreciate you letting us in and not being afraid to be vulnerable. I love that about you:-) XO, Uschi

    Oh, wow! I’m SO GLAD you are ok! As you know, it could have turned out so much worse! I think that is hilarious that after the car hit you, you got up and hit him! LMAO! I think I would have been too stunned to do anything… Anyway, get well soon! Take care!


  8. boricuabella Says:

    Thank God you’re ok. The doctor was right it could’ve been a lot worse. I pick up the people drunk drivers hit & most don’t make it. God Bless You & your family
