I was travelling through St Helens on the A58 towards the A580.and approaching a bend to my right. Luckily it’s a wide open bend with a reasonable view round the corner. I spotted a biker’s helmet behind a car coming towards me and I thought "He’s gonna overtake that bleeding car! !" I simply repositioned myself into the left gutter of my lane and sure enough he came flying past the car on the bend. Had I not spotted his helmet just over the roof of the car and had I not moved into the kerbside I would have ran into him. head on.
3 years ago I was not so lucky. The left hand bend I was approaching was on the crest of a hill and the biker coming towards me apexed the corner onto my side of the road. We met head on. I only know this due to the police accident report, I have absolutely no memory of the events of that bright sunny Sunday afternoon on the 21st of July 2002. Nor have I any memory of the events thereafter for a whole week.
Everyone I tell this story to tells me I am lucky to be alive. I wish someone could tell me how this defines lucky. I wish I knew how being left for dead on the road, having 15 hours of surgery, 20 pints of someone else’s blood, 6 months of depression and having one leg shorter than the other is lucky. Today was lucky. Today I got to Rivi, had a brew and a chocolate bar. a really interesting talk with someone whose mind is opening and came home to write this blog. That is lucky. There are things far worse than being dead.
I appreciate I can still walk, I am thankful for the use of both arms, I am grateful my scars are on my limbs not my face, I am happy I am alive.
I will never take for granted the things my body can do and the power of my mind.
I know it certainly could have been a lot worse. But do not tell me my accident could have been worse and I am lucky. Lucky is to arrive at your destination intact and healthy. Lucky is to arrive at your destination and find those you care for are also intact, healthy. . . and alive. As for the dead, they do not care. (404 words)
