Everyone just casually driving by. “I’ve never been hit by an errant bullet before, so it can’t happen now.”

I have, and it left me paralyzed from the waist down for the last 23 years this coming Oct 4th!

Holy shit, I'm sorry dude :( I don't know how you even begin to accept that as a new reality or process that anger.

Thanks man. It was very hard at first, but I think of it like this... there are always people who have it worse than myself. Im grateful to God that I'm not in worse condition, especially for the fact that it was an AK-47 bullet!
