Perth-WRX.com - 2012, the year of bad luck!

hey guys, im writing this while im laying in hospital.

Some of you know me, some of you dont. but those of you who do know me, know that im a bit of a rev head, whether it be a subaru, nissan, ferrari, aston martin, porsche, chevy, bmw, merc, toyota, ford, holden, i love em all

ive had my sportswagon for a few years now and i love it.. but unfortunatly i need to sell it because i want to buy a house and im trying to save as much as i can.

so i had it advertised on here and on gumtree, just as my girlfriend crashes her car. so it was no longer for sale

my girlfriend had fixed her car and at the time, our lease had ran out on our house. we ended up breaking up because we were fighting too much and i basically had enough, so we went our seperate ways. long story.

if you can remember the storm we had at the start of winter, a tree in my brothers backyard blew over and landed on my wagon, causing damage to bonnet, so no big deal, but unfortuantly i cant get around to fixing it, so im thinking i might just sell it cheaper with the damaged bonnet.

ok now the real bad luck. i ride a 2010 kawasaki kx450f. i phoned a few mates and organised to go ridingin on the 15th of july out at metro road (50k's down brookton hwy). had a great ride all day and perfect weather, but at the end of the day, i hit a bump flat out in 3rd gear and was flicked over the handle bars and was knocked out. woke up about 20 seconds later and noticed i couldnt get up or feel my legs. so im freaking out thinking ohhh noo im pretty much fucked. mates are trying to calm me down. they phoned an ambo. after an hour of waiting, police rock up, and are helping out, trying to find out where the ambo is. 3 hours of agonising pain, they finally rock up and get me straight on a drip and rush me to hospital. turns out they organised the wrong ambo and got lost :S so anyway, i get straight in there and get x-rayed, they didnt tell me much but they said ive broken my back and ill have to go to rph.

i was transfered to rph, where i got about a million x-rays. and after being put in the trauma ward, im waiting for the doctor to tell me the bad news. my face looked pretty bruised up, so ive definatly hit my head, apparently my helmet is stuffed. broken back in 2 places, 2 broken ribs, broken sturnum, and a broken finger. so i had to wait a day to go into theatere, where i was told theres a good chance i might not walk again.

woke up in intensive care, where i spent 2 days learning how to breathe again, with a million drips and drain tubes sticking out of me! i was told it costs $20,000 a day to be in there! One of the head surgeons came over to tell me the good news, surgery went well and im proberbly gonna walk again :D

3 weeks later and here i am, in shenton park rehab centre, my first week, i had to lay flat for 10 days, which you could probably imagine what that would do to your bowels. lol. so basically ive had a crook guts, up untill yesterday, where it has finally has come good. also, im learning to walk again, i think i've lost about 10kg, so i feel pretty weak, but i can sit up with a brace on and ive walked about 4 metres with the help of physios standing next to me. i know its not much, but its a start

so im gonna be stuck in here for a few months, but ive really gotta sell my car. do you think im better off just selling it as is, but get rid of it cheap or get another bonnet and get someone to wrap it. i need some ideas of what to do

ohh yeh, ill post up a few pics soon :P
