Here are my stats:
- Craniosynostosis. Surgery at 3 months old. Cosmetic surgery wasn’t done on the head 40 years ago. Too risky. I could have died or went blind in my left eye at the least. I got away with just being ugly.
- Drowning scuba diving.
- Slashed wrists in HS.
- Beta burn.
- Drug OD after my divorce.
- Seizure a year later. Don’t detoxify on your own. It can kill you. I was in ICU for 5 days under an induced coma so I wouldn’t be paralyzed. I wore a brace for 90 days to hold my back together.
- To many pills to kill the pain.
- Ambien induced zombified behavior leading to a car wreck.
I’m only 43, so I’m sure I’ll be adding to the list.
