Post 706: Life or Death?

On August 28th, 2017 I was out for a bike ride. It was a Monday afternoon around 2pm. Monday is typically my slowest day as a realtor, and I was taking advantage of that fact. I don’t remember the bike ride. Even on the day, I didn’t remember getting on my bike.

Suddenly, I woke up. I was in the hospital. Eventually we pieced it together. A drunk driver swiped in front of me and I was going fast enough that I slammed into the side of his car. I hit it so hard that my bike was totaled, I needed stitches in my face, I made an indent in his car, and I didn’t even remember I had ever left for my ride. And I was actually incredibly lucky. If I had been one second earlier, he probably would have just run me over with his Toyota Forerunner.

I asked my wife to take a picture of me in the hospital and posted it to Facebook. I did that so every year I was given a reminder of just how lucky I am to still be here. Perspective is key.
