I still recall the accident. I had an audacious attitude back then. I remember being very upset at my brother and telling him, “you have the audacity to call me a coward when you won’t even try.” Neither of us knew how unstable and heavy that auger bit was.
Then I felt the numbing pain of the auger bit crushing my back. I can still see the ambulance attendants, in their clean white attire, attending to my injury. I think my voice was barely audible. The doctors were able to attach supporting metal pins to my spine, but I’ve yet to walk. My whole body seems to be in a state of atrophy. But I’ve never given up hope. One of my strongest attributes is patience. Someday, I’ll attain the use of my legs again.
Fortunately, my attorney helped me to obtain compensation for my injuries. The extra money helps to augment my monthly income. I still work as an accountant, auditing the books of small companies. But I only work part-time, and later this year, I plan to retire. It looks like my company will reduce its staff through attrition.
I’d like to spend more time with my family now. I have a strong attachment to my wonderful and energetic daughter. Everyone loves her. It’s as though she emits an aura. This afternoon, I’ll be taking her to the school auditorium so that she can attend an audition for a part in the school play. Next winter, we’ll be taking a trip to Alaska to see the aurora borealis!
