Is it worth one message…When I hit the brick wall the motor or the break pedal put a big hole in my foot and shattered my heel bone. I broke my jaw in 3 places and I have 2 metal plates and 16 screws in my jaw. I was in ICU for 3 or 4 days, I woke up and did not know what was going on. They cut my bottom right teeth out and put them back in because they were practically hanging out of my mouth. My foot will be hurting the rest of my life. This tragic incident I went through was not worth texting while driving. I was not drinking, or under the influence in any way I was just texting. If I could go back in time I wouldn’t of ever texted while driving. When I drive now I cant even look at my iPod or anything because it scares me so bad. I am terrified because of all the things I have been through. I was in the hospital for a month and when I was out it was still the same I had antibiotics I hung 4 times a day. I had a pick line in my arm that went above my heart for the antibiotics to go in. Still had a home health care nurse come out to change my pick line, and my wound vac every other day. I had the wound vac on my foot for months, the wound vac made the blood and tissue heal in my foot, that was one of the worst parts and I lost 20 pounds after the wreck. Everything I have said is nothing compared to what has really happened. There is so much more to this, its just personal. I never thought I would wreck over texting and driving, but yah if I could go back in time I wouldn’t of done it, it wasn’t worth it, that’s all I've got to say.
