Week 4 Post #8

 Hi Blog so something unfortunate happened… 

I went down to Fort Lauderdale on the boat with my friends to develop the filming locations and discuss with my group with what we were going to do. As we were heading home at night we got into a very bad boat accident. My friend (was in the front of the boat and is named Kevin) and I were both hospitalized and Michaels boat is ruined ( he was supposed to play Stephen) . I have 10 stitches in my eyebrow with a very bad rib contusion and a knocked up leg.Kevin as well had to get stitches on his eyebrow but nothing else so for the most part he is okay. I was really the only one who got badly hurt. Of course this would only happen to me. I am not able to walk or move without help. At the hospital last night it was very hard for me to breathe and talk. I am feeling better now but the pain is still very harsh. Basically what had happened was that when we were driving home around 6:40 a boat of elderly people had their lights off and was stopped in the middle of the intercoastal. We didn’t even see them at all. I was with Michael in the back of the boat where he was driving and my other three friends were in the front. My friend Ashley ( she is supposed to play Katy) yelled to stop but we could not hear because of how loud the music was. At the very last second we saw the boat and my friend Michael turned the boat very fast making the other boat hit my side. I did not see the impact myself so I don’t even know how I got hurt. I’m guessing I hit my eyebrow against the pole but I’m not sure how I hit my ribs. I immediately had to lay on the floor because I couldn’t breathe or talk since I got my air knocked out. I didn’t even notice my head was bleeding until I felt the liquid running down my face. This was genuinely one of the most scariest experiences in my life. Thank god my friend turned the boat because my friends in the front would have flew off. I am so grateful to be alive and not deeply injured. I stayed for about 6 hours in the hospital and I am so grateful for my doctor taking care of me. He did a great job and I am so thankful for him. The second the paramedics came I remembered my project and I immediately started to freak out because now all my work is ruined and it is so late into this assignment and I do not know what to do. It’s going to take me so long to re start. I am so upset this has happened but I am just glad to be alive. On the other boat one of the elderly men got a broken pelvis and is getting surgery… I feel so bad. It’s so crazy to me how fast your life can be taken and I this will be something I will never forget. Now I have to miss a week of school after missing 3 days last week from being sick. This all happened at the worst time…

Here are some pictures of the accident:
