LOF


My most fearful memory would have happened on Friday July 13Th 2007. On that day I went riding my ATV and when I was about to make a turn and my steering will not go and I went to jump off and my foot got stuck. I fell and went under my ATV and got ran over. When I got up my dad thought I peed my pants and had a few cuts and bruises. Well he was wrong I was impaled by the foot peg and was literally an inch away from death. If the foot peg went in an inch deeper it would have hit my main artery in my leg and I would have bled out in two min. Well my dad went down the hill to his truck and when he got me and we started going back down the hill he slashed his tires. So he took the back roads on his dirt bike with me on the back all the way to my grandmas house so she could take me to the hospital. Then he went back to get my brother and sister. the most vivid thing I could remember was when my dad said it looked like someone turned on a faucet on my leg and all that was coming out was blood. Well I got to the hospital at 6:30 that night and got out at 2:38 on Tuesday Afternoon. The doctors said it would take 6-7 months to fully heal. But I got lucky and was fully healed in 3 and 1/2 months..... So I think you might be able to see how that was a fear, a fear of death. I am also afraid of spiders and snakes.

Kelsey,
That is quite a story and a harrowing experience to go through. I guess you were fortunate to make it through. Many people have situations similar to yours and don't live to tell about it.
