Day 6 out of 62 Project C Woke up to get to the gym and get my shoulder, bicep, core and interval cardio workout done with my husband which then would lead to Progression class at 7am! Yet the text message at 11:34 and 5:00am were two that I read over and over not comprehending what had really happened. Anyhow to make a long story short I just got back from the hospital visiting my cousins brand new boyfriend who crashed on a motorcycle last night! I walked in not knowing what to expect at all yet I did know that his shield for his motorcycle was imbedded in the other persons bumper and was in surgery all early morning. Asleep, Max, was in his bed full face swollen. Ivys everywhere pumping with steroids and antibiotics to help in this miracle of a recovery! The room was shaded to keep the sun out to feel two souls in that room that were crushed, sad, embarrassed, happy, and very vulnerable! I calmly walked in passing by Max to sit close with my cousin yet sister is what she has been my whole life. She told me everything from going to the ice cream shop with her best friend, her daughter and boyfriends. They came home as he was on his bike and went passed them as they turned to the house and he never returned. He was tired from the 9 hour drive from San Diego that he made earlier that day he doesnt remember anything other than waking up to a chattered cheek, jaw bone and ungloved his nose. Which turned into surgery getting a metal plate in his face and fixed his nose. With all that being said I listened to Ashley speak and how sad she was, how alarming this was, so close to home, his second time to Reno, just met his parents, everything moving so beautifully and then bam! Max wakes up from the nurses poking at him and sees me sitting there and immediately says, Hi, Camie, Im so sorry you have to see me like this! Immediately my heart burst and I told him to never apologize this is a miracle you are alive as the cops closed the door to the ambulance saying this guy is probably going to be paralyzed for life! We all chatted for an hour expressing our emotions for life! It got deep yet at one point I was staring at Max yet praying to The Lord thanking him that his life was in His favor and angels were covering his body last night! Then all the sudden he kept saying I ruined Ashleys time, she had all these things planned for all of us, I want to come to your gym and see it, workout and work on my shoulders. He was so remorseful and so sad yet I kept telling him stop it you are sitting with two girls that are not passing judgment yet thankful that we are sitting here talking to you alive! I know that LIFE is not only precious yet there are beautiful people in it that bad things happen to yet through the awesome mindset like Elisa Storke had many great things can come from experiences that seem like the end of the world. Max had just gotten his bike a bunch of new parts. Very experienced rider. Lives his passion. Asked for a kiss before he got on his bike from Ashley cause he had a weird feeling in his stomach. Passed by his friends to get a little bit more of a ride in before turning into the house. And tragedy happened. Well max is questioning everything. Why didnt I just follow his girlfriend? Why didnt I just ride in the car. You know all the questions that we could have done different and didnt but I told Max its for a reason. I get deep with my thoughts and was sharing some of them with him as he was in full agreement yet when he woke he was so upset! So he is alive and life is precious I get it I get it! Further than that today on day six I realize that people need positive people in there lives. I felt an overwhelming feeling of gratitude of the life, the mindset and the love that I have been blessed with from Christ. Sitting there with a young man that nearly lost his life, face was so swollen and body aches I enjoyed the moments to be able to tell Max that he was crazy to think that he needs to be sorry yet thankful for being alive and the lessons that he can learn from this situation I saw a body that is so beautifully built from The Lord be torn to shreds and be able to bounce back to heal even hours after professional help! We live this life not to hurt, not to feel pain yet remember that when it does happen release yourself from negativity and adopt the mindset that will lead you into a better direction. I ask people today to yes take risks, yet be smart and listen to that deep deep gut feeling that 99% of the time is right. I tell Walt Lyman all the time in times of thick Im thankful for this life and even the cold that I have that seems to be on going, annoying, frustrating, etc At least we are all together and alive! Max, God had his angels watching over you and now its time to take this chance of life and love it to its fullest! Happy Saturday!
