[ROYC75]

1st - I was in a wave pool in So. Indiana, I was in about 3/4 deep end where the water pick smaller people up. Well, it did this, it took a guy smaller than me and he rode the wave right towards me. I had just went under the previous wave after my knee locking up and then popping free and had no clue I was right in line for a head on collision. Just as I came up, there he was out of control, BOOM, head to head. I take the full force of him being hurled around by the wave. For a second, I saw stars, I let out a yell from the collision ( pain ) & then I took a big drink. I was gasping for air after chocking down water, all the while trying to breath, regain myself upright, getting knocked over again, taking in more water, and of course,1 more time, taking in water. That's it, I thought I was going to die, I'm done, I'm gone. Another guy saw the hit to my head and then going down by the waves, he grabbed me and got me back up where I could breath again. He helped me back to swallow waters where I could stand on my own. But I was still heaving, gasping for air from the water. I went straight to dry ground, screw this, I was in no shape to stay in that damn thing. Damn, it took me another 15 minutes to recover myself back to normal. A wave pool is great fun until 1/2 way in where some people get tossed around. You gotta watch out for that shit!

2nd - This damn infection I'm fighting now, just last year that 1st time dealing with it. When they sent me home and I lost site of the world for a week. The doc's gave me a 20% chance to live,scaring the hell out of the family in June of last year.
