the worst you've ever been hurt

When I was four years old, I was twice run over by a car. Both times, same car. The person driving actually backed up and got me a 2nd time...

I was in at Glenwood in West Monroe for three weeks.

Keep in mind that this information was given to me after the fact. I don't remember any of it..
It happened at Timbers Apartments on Arkansas Rd. The apartments sit on top of a hill. I was at the top of the hill on my Big Wheel sitting on the grass (being a good boy for once) The rest of the neighborhood kids were out in the parking lot. Well this moron of a woman took her boyfriends car and started driving up the hill at pretty good speed. She wasn't paying attention (obviously) and had to swerve to miss the kids in the parking lot. Of course that meant I was her new target. She completely ran over me. My body rolled off the grass and into the parking lot. At that point she backed up (probably not knowing where I was) and ran over me again.

This woman then put it into drive and actually tried to make a hit and run out of it. She ended up in a ditch. We found out later that she didn't even have a drivers license. She was really upset with her boyfriend and stole his car. Apparently she had a connected family and ended up not serving a day in jail. Our family only collected money to pay for the medical bills.

While in the hospital, I underwent 5 surgeries. According to my Mom, my heart stopped 3 times. I didn't come to for over a week. Amazingly I only have a couple of minor scars left to remind me of that time.

A couple of years later I cut off my left ring finger. The docs did a great job of sewing it back on but now my 2nd knuckle is fused and can't be flexed at all. But that is pretty minor compared to the car accident....
