HI, MY NAME IS LINDA DEATHERAGE; I AM GOING TO SHARE MY TWIN SISTERS STORY WITH YOU TODAY. SHIRLEY DEATHERAGE IS MY IDENTICAL TWIN, MY SOUL MATE BEST FRIEND, THE ANGEL BY MY SIDE. SHIRLEY DEATHERAGE WAS ON HER WAY HOME ONE HALLOWEEN WEEKEND EVENING WHEN HER LIFE WAS CHANGED FOREVER…….!!!!! SO WAS MINE IN A DIRECT WAY!!!!!! SHIRLEY WAS DRIVING DOWN I-169 TOWARDS OWASSO, OK. FROM DOWN TOWN TULSA, OK. IN HER 2005 MAZDA PROTEGE; WHEN A DRUNKEN DRIVER CHRISTOPHER WAYNE WHITE DRIVING IN A NISSAN EXTERA WAS DRIVING ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH NO HEAD LIGHTS ON DOWN THE FREEWAY. SHIRLEY NEVER HAD A CHANCE TO TRY TO SWERVE OUT OF HIS WAY BEFORE THE TWO OF THEM COLLIDED INTO EACH OTHER SHIRLEY’S ENGINE WAS SHOVED THROUGH THE FRONT OF HER VEHICLE CHOPPING OFF THE PASSENGER SEAT HEAD OFF. THE POLICE HAD STATED THAT IF I WOULD HAD BEEN RIDING IN THE CAR WITH SHIRLEY THAT NIGHT….I WOULD HAVE BEEN HAMBURGER MEAT. SHIRLEY CAR WAS DEMOLISHED, AND SHIRLEY WAS MANGLED. ONLY A SMALL METAL BAR KEPT A SMALL DIVIDED SPACE FOR HER, HER KNEES HAD TO BE CRUSHED IN AND THE AIR BAG THAT DEPLOYED SAVED HER FACE FROM MASSIVE EXTERNAL ENERGIES. BUT, NOT HER BRAIN FROM BEING SHAKEN (SIMILAR TO JELLO) CAUSING ANOXIA A BRAIN INJURY, AND RITE FRONTAL LOBE CONTUSION WITH A HEMATOMA, BLEEDING AROUND HER HEART THAT HAD TO BE SUCTIONED, INHABITED SO SHE COULD BREATH BECAUSE HER LUNGS HAD COLLAPSED AND BEEN SO BADLY BRUISED THAT SHE COULD NOT BREATH ON HER OWN WITHOUT THE MACHINE, SHIRLEY HAD TO BE RUSHED TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM FOR LIFE THREATENING SURGERIES…THAT DAY WAS A NIGHTMARE. MY SISTER HAS OVERCOME LEAPS AND BOUNDS, I AM ONE OF HER BIGGEST FANS AND ONE OF HER MAJOR SUPPORTERS THROUGH THIS FIGHT TO REGAIN HER LIFE AND HAVE SOME NORMALITY….. SHE IS ONE STEP CLOSER EVERY DAY, YET WE NEED YOUR HELP SO WE CAN HELP SUPPORT SHIRLEY IN THIS FIGHT TO RECOVERY. SHIRLEY HAS REPLACED UNCONSCIOUSNESS WITH CONSCIOUSNESS, NOT BEING ABLE TO WALK WITH WALKING, NOT BEING ABLE TO SPEAK OR FORMULATE CONSTRUCTIVE SENTENCES, WITH BEING COHERENT AND SPEAKING AGAIN. SHIRLEY IS STILL LEARNING TO READ AND WRITE AGAIN AND IS IMPROVING EVERY DAY. SHE RECENTLY HAS PASSED HER DEFENSIVE DRIVING COURSE, AFTER BEING TOLD SHE WOULD NEVER DRIVE AGAIN! IT’S LIKE BEING SWEET SIXTEEN AGAIN AND NOW SHE NEEDS A CAR. SHE HAS PROVED THE DR.’S WRONG I ALWAYS HAVE HAD FAITH IN SHIRLEY’S RECOVERY AND CONTINUES HAVING THIS FAITH THAT WITH ENOUGH SUPPORTERS TO CHEER HER ON, AND HELP SHIRLEY WILL CONTINUE TO GROW TOWARDS HER….”OUR” GOAL FOR HER TO HAVE A NORMAL FUNCTIONAL LIFE BACK, AND BE THE PHOENIX RISING FROM THE ASHES… LET’S BE ENCOURAGING, SUPPORTIVE, AND HELPFUL TOWARDS THIS GOAL. WE ALSO, ESPECIALLY SHIRLEY WANTS TO INSPIRE DRINKING RESPONSIBILITY WHILE YOU ARE HAVING FUN, OR WHILE YOU ARE DRINKING FOR WHATEVER REASON, JUST PLEASE REMEMBER TO ADMIT TO YOUR-SELF THAT YOU NEED A CAB HOME OR DESIGNATED DRIVER TO TAKE YOU HOME.
