My cycling accident 4-26-2017
On Wednesday evening I went for my 13 mile after work ride. I generally leave my house around 7pm.
I was fitted earlier in the morning by Phillip at Shama cycles and was eager to test out the new Saddle and fit.
I've been a recreational cyclist for about 10 or 12 years..
I was feeling pretty good but still just warming up more than anything. Mile one down
comfort was ok not to bad. Mile two, feeling a little awkward because I'm leaning forward a little more, this position takes a little getting used to is what was on my mind.
I live in Katy and my route is about 3.25 miles.
I pass the YMCA to my left and make the turn I also pass two Katy police officers on my right who were standing in the HEB parking lot talking. Sun is out and not a cloud in site.
As I pass the (round-about) HEB is on my right side and I am heading south. I am now approaching the (entrance - exit) to HEB, I "checked" the lady coming out of the HEB parking lot, she obviously was in a huge hurry and wasn't waiting for me to go by nor was the blue gray car behind her. I always make eye contact with drivers to be sure they see me so I can make a decision to continue or stop and allow them to to pass..
The problem is when the drivers are indecisive in making a decision to STOP ( law is STOP not rolling top) I by law have the right of way.
In this case both Car's decided to rush through as if it was a race and not allow me to continue.
This was my last memory of the two vehicles.
MY MEMORIES Here are in order,
I hear loud crash
My entire body is consumed by a large white object (truck)
I'm either sitting or laying down starring into the sky begging God for a chance to breath. This moment felt like an eternity to me!!! I never ever thought of giving into the moment but just felt like if I could have just one more chance to breath what would I do?!?! I even had a flash moment of thinking (I've never been Baptized) !! What am I gonna do?!?!
Next this Person standing over me, is begging me to breath "just breath, please!!! just breath"!!! I'm staring back at him thinking , IM TRYING !!!
I'm trying !!!
****I got a breath****
I am humbled by this situation for another chance at life. For the opportunity to live.
I give thanks for God for giving me air when I needed it. I give thanks for the man who stood over me begging me to just breath. I give thanks to the military medic holding my head and telling me I was ok and that he had me and promised me I was gonna be ok .. i give thanks to a man named "Sam" who called my wife and promised to deliver the news gracefully (success) she came to my side STRONG encouraging and never allowed me to see weakness or fear in her eyes. I so badly needed to know my wife was ok and would be ok.
The staff at Katy Herman were awesome especially the nurses.
I can walk talk and breath.
Humbly speaking, I'm alive!!
