so here's my story:
back in my day i was on. hardcore metal shows 3-4 nights a week. lived in the east bay so someone was always in town. the best times of my life. but with it came costs.
punched in the faced by a tweaker while i was sitting behind the wheel of my car. guy was trying to get at my passenger. took a full force direct hit right on the point of my nose. pretty much crushed all the meat in my upper lip. got all nasty swollen messed up for weeks.
water skiing in the alameda estuary. tidal waters. these little patches of floating debris got caught up in the swirling currents and are scattered across the surface of the water. i was on a knee board. got "whipped" at 40mph on a 65' rope on a hairpin turn. 3/4 of the way thru this insane ride the nose of the board dug in. i've been told take the speed of me could have been 60+ mph due to the "WHIP". i hit face first with my mouth wide open. felt i should have been hurt pretty bad. they say i did 3 full cartwheels. when i got back into the boat i put my head between my legs and 2 handfuls of water and little sticks drained from my sinuses. to this day i feel something in the back of my throat.
one night 2 girls and myself were heading out to a 2am rendevous with ANOTHER fifth of jack and frisky attitudes. it was on for me . i was in guy heaven. they kept telling me to put on my seat belt. haa, i am man i don't need it. plus you're not gonna wreck. she wrecked. put us straight into the side of a cliff at 55mph. my face went thru the windsheild then came back in.
split my head 5" up starting at my eyebrow. she wanted to report the truck stolen and collect the insurance so we told the er i just got in a fight and someone hit me with a bottle.
so 15+ years later.... MY FRICKIN head is killing me. i have had a headache 24/7 literally for over a month now. i told my dr. all these strories and my head hurts. so he gives me claritin!. he has ordered an MRI now since the claritin didn't help.
but in the mean time my head is killing me. it's hard to even smile. it hurts to laugh. people are mean to me because of my attitude. my neck hurts. this sucks. i smoke ALL day just to keep from screaming.
i hope he helps me soon.
