One of my Good friends was in a serious car accident.

[Chelsea x Horror]

My Friend Travis, hit a tree going really fast on friday night.

 

I've been really tired and sad thinking about this, its got me down so I decided to talk about it.

 

We're not exactly sure why he was speeding or what he was doing, But my Fiance and I know the people he was hanging out with so we have a guess.

 

Travis is mildy retarded. He was hanging out with these assholes on Friday and our guess is that they were picking on him and making fun of him, as they often do, and he got upset and took off. We don't know if the reason he was speeding is because he was just upset, or maybe he got cut off and had some road rage, OR our best guess is he got mad and challenged someone to a street race. (and he has a nice car, so... its very possible. Monte Carlo SS.) Whatever happened, He ended up hitting a tree at a very fast speed. We're not sure of the speed because the speedometer was no where to be found.

 

The Engine of the car was completely dislodged and out of the car, Tired where everywhere, across the street in the outback parking lot, and the doctors said that if he wasn't wearing his seatbelt he would of died. They had to use three sets of the jaws of life, to open the car and pull him out through the roof.

 

Thankfully there is no head trauma, BUT it is seriously banged up.

 

He has open fractures in his right tibia . (the bone between your knee and ankle. Open means it broke through the skin.) His ankle on that same leg is broken.

 

He has a broken Femur (the thigh bone. a VERY PAINFUL Fracture. and an extremely hard bone to break.) And his pelvis is shattered which was causing internal bleeding and lots of it.

 

At first there was no circulation in both of his legs due to the all the injuries and they feared he was going to have to have Both of his legs amputated. Thankfully they got circulation and it that option is becoming more and more less likely. They did surgeries yesterday. They put a steel rod in both his tibia and femur permanently. Also, they had to place a steel plate and screws over his pelvis to keep it in place and to heal. all of that is permanent.

 

He is mildly sedated and intubated. (this means they put him into a slight coma and he has a tube in his larynx to help his breathing. A ventilator. ) if they ventilator is in his larynx for another day they will have to do a tracheotomy. (which means they will have to do A Surgical incision of the trachea through the neck, as to make an artificial opening for breathing.) He is stable but in critical condition.

 

I've been trying to stay positive and tell myself that he will be fine, but I have had something bad happen to me that is similar to this, that is making it hard to think positive.

 

Anyways, I just wanted to talk about it because it makes me feel better.

 

If you're religious (even though I am not) maybe you can say a prayer for my good friend Travis.

Im not jumping to conclusions. This is just our best guess as to what happened. We wont know what happened until he is out of his coma. We just know that his is Mentally retarded and we know those guys always make fun of him. We have no idea.

 

But thanks for the thought though, and the reply.

 

Thanks everyone.

Damn, that sucks, I'm sorry for you and I hope your friend recovers

 

It's sick to hear a few people drive someone to something like this >_<

[FireHawk]

Just be thankful he is alive. There have been 3 serious car accidents in my town in the last year. Last June a friend of mine, the nicest person I have ever met died in a car accident. I remember waiting outside the funeral home at his funeral during a thunderstorm (I was in a long line for 5 hours).

 

It sounds like it will get better and he will be in my prayers tonight.
