So I wasn’t sure if I wanted to bring my real story on here or just leave it as a medical thing, but it’s not fair for you guys who I’m asking for help to not know the truth. So here it goes..
As most of you know, I was in a relationship with Genesis. Genesis and I started off in very weak circumstances. Stuff that I would admit is my fault because communication is key. However, after everything, WE still pulled through and we still chose to stay together and fight for our relationship. Things started to be great; we got into a routine and were trying to figure our next steps in life together. These last 9 months with her have been amazing, and I never thought honestly that after everything I’ve been through that I could feel for someone again. But I did. I fell in love with her. I guess you can call it being blinded by love because I should have seen the signs.
Recently, since May, the relationship started to get rocky. We started arguing more; she was getting more aggressive, and it was just a constant thing with her always thinking I was cheating. She destroyed all my personal belongings… and I mean all of it… then would blow up my phone with videos of her doing it. But obviously, like I said, I loved her, so I wanted to fight for my relationship. So I stayed when I should have left.
June 1st came along, and Genesis chose to change my life and not for the better… While getting out of a car, not realizing she was behind me, she sped her car up to 40 mph and slammed into me from behind. I was taken immediately to a trauma hospital where not even the doctors expected me to survive. I was completely broken.
Left shin popped out of my skin, leaving me with a left femur and tibia fracture where they had to insert screws and metal plates to give me my leg back. That was surgery #1.
My entire pelvic area was shattered front and back, so I now have all metal screws there trying to heal that because of how hard she hit me with the car. Surgery #2.
She broke my spine from my T9 all the way down to my T12, where I needed to undergo a very intense 10-hour surgery. Surgery #3.
Because I lost too much blood in surgery #3, they had to reenter my pelvic area to fix the front side this time. Surgery #4.
Now, surgery #5 was for my right arm that was also broken on impact with a left ulnar fracture.
Honestly, guys, I don’t know how I made it. But I will tell you my dad and my grandma are definitely my guardian angels because I could have died. And for what? A jealous girlfriend that couldn’t trust she was the one I wanted to be with? Life isn’t fair, and this is definitely a life lesson for me. I’m looking at a long recovery these next 8 weeks, but with the help of my family and my guardian angels, I am going to pull through.
And to my family, I can’t thank them enough. They have literally been my rock. My older sister Cristal has been my voice when I can’t speak, doing all the fighting for me; my mom, who I know took this extremely hard; and my brothers, Alex, Marcos, and Anthony; and my babies, Bella and Julian. I promised I was gonna try to pull through, and I did. For you guys. I love each and every one of you.
Life’s not fair, and I will not mess this second opportunity at life up for anyone. My view on life is so much different now, and I will overcome this.
Unfortunately, we all know medical bills and everything are going to pile up. I’m gonna have to rebuy all my stuff and miss a ton of work due to this, so anything helps, and I’m grateful for anything.
Thank you
