On the first day of July 2008, one of the nicest days of the summer, I went to help my brother move house, I always go by bike even when it rains

this particular day was no different from the rest, I stopped at the red light, and when it went green I sped up and something runs into me from the right, it was the truck I was next to pushing me down, it ran over my right leg as it knocked me off my bike

hurt and confused, I stared up only to find I was under the vehicle and it wasn't stopping, I shuffle back as fast as I can to get away from the rear double-wheels before they run over my head, but I'm not fast enough, the wheels slowly crush my pelvis, I could feel my bones cracking, but not the pain, the pressure was too much

I was screaming in shock, I couldn't feel my legs, my pelvis area felt like mush and soon after the pain kicked in, a lady from across the street rushed over to me and held my head, telling me "it's ok, you're still alive" the ambulance eventually came

A police officer came as well as a man in orange who identified himself as "the doctor from the helicopter", I asked the police officer to call my brother, as I was late and worried that he might think I flaked, he reached into my pocket and took my sim card to call him, my phone of course was not functioning properly

I was in the most uncomfortable position lying on my arm, pleading to be set on my back but that was not allowed, I was administered some sort of laughing gas which didn't help much but got me high enough to distract myself from the pain, after what seemed like forever I was taken onto a stretcher, right before they lifted me I knew I would have to accept whatever pain I would feel and that I was going to feel alot of pain, surprisingly, the lift to the stretcher was not painful, the ride to the hospital was fairly short, as soon as I got into the Intensive Care Unit I was administered a catheter, which hurt worse than I could imagine

my life was suddenly interrupted by this accident, I was told my family would come to see me, I was wondering how they would react, I wanted to see them, but not like this
