It was a day like any other; wake up, eat, work, eat again, shower and then sleep… but today was going to be different, I didn’t know that of course but then again how could I? I was halfway to work; it was only a 15min drive but I was not even halfway when my world turn upside down literally, I got tee-boned and the car rolled.

The last thing I remember before waking up covered in white sheets and cables was looking at the broken windscreen and thinking how glad I was it didn’t shatter all over me. I stood up and removed the cables from my chest, arms, legs and head and in the process I set of an alarm and doctors come running in with chest paddles. They stopped quickly enough. The next one though the door just stood there sheer surprise on her face then she spoke, her voice would have been smooth and calming if I was still in the bed. But no, I was on my feet and my mind was working so when she said “how are you even awake” I replied quickly and sarcastically “because I woke up…?” before I could move another step she walked in quickly and looked me up and down, walked around me pure amazement on her face. I caught a glance of her name badge ‘Sofia - Nurse’ when she finally stopped walking around me she said “this isn’t possible, your spinal column was broken in two places and you three of your ribcage bones had been broken also, but yet here you are standing, within less than 24 hours of the accident” now it was my turn to look surprised “you mean to say… I should be in a wheelchair unable to use my legs?” Sofia looked at me and shook her head “you should not even be able to move your arms, sit down a minute and let me have a proper look at you” I sat back down on the bed and she checked me over with this device and that I had no idea what half their names where but then again I didn’t really care. By this point the others had walked out with the emergency being a false alarm. She looked at me one last time and asked if I would be willing to have a full body x-ray. I said yes and we both waked a few doors down and well half an hour later I was looking at my own skeleton. Sofia looked at it in amazement “completely healed she commented and no surgery had been recorded” I finally asked her the inevitable “can I go to work now?” Sofia burst out laughing “WORK?!” she laughed as she pointed at the clock. I looked at it, it was above me and behind me and the first indication of time I have had since I woke up, five fifteen pm on the same day as the crash. I then changed the question “can I go home now?” When Sofia stopped laughing she replied “I don’t see why not” and so that’s what I did, I followed her as she lead me back to the room I was in, I collected my wallet. Smashed phone which I pulled the sim card out of just before throwing it in the trash can. Picked up my car keys, tossed them in the air a few times and dropped them in my pocket. I’ll rescue the key chains when I get home. I stepped out of the room, asked for directions to the front desk and quickly found myself standing on the foot path waiting for the taxi.

The taxi arrived sooner than expected and I was home before I knew it. As I opened the front door and looked in the mirror I froze, my shirt was covered in dry blood, and I hadn’t noticed it back at hospital, I turn and looked at the taxi wondering if I left any blood on the back seat but by the time I had finished turning it was gone. I closed the front door and went directly to the bathroom, striped and showered and through that change of work clothes in the bin. The rest of the day was simple. I walked around the house in my undies and microwaved a pie for dinner and fell into bed.
