 December 3rd of 2014 I was riding a bike along with several of my partners this particular day was a from what I remember was a pretty nice day in December we get a call from my sergeant he's like all right there's a there's a march going on and we're gonna be involved in helping with this thing and so we ran back to our garage and got prepared to go out we were responsible for kind of the lead of this this march so we're on mountain bikes and doing our thing again it was just such a beautiful day and we end up getting released to go back to our our normal assignment and you know we we turn around and we start heading back to the downtown area and you know I don't remember the accident I do remember my partner in the ambulance which I didn't realize I was in an ambulance but I remember him giving me encouraging words and and let me know that I was gonna make it I remember here in the you know the acceleration of the the ambulance and the sirens and all of that my left arm was completely crushed lost my spleen this leg it was bleeding out pretty bad the artery was severed but they were able to save the leg crushed ribs big old rod and in my femur and got hardware pretty much everywhere I kind of went into my own world of what I thought was going on and kind of a dream world I know people have different views you know I didn't see a bright light I didn't see things like that it was a battle from the very beginning I truly believe that in what I was going through I had an opportunity to to give up I was asked numerous times in this dream world you know to basically give up and I told him you know you're gonna have to kill me I'm not letting go I chose to fight
