I remember given a State Trooper a cigar for helping me tow my car off the sand at the beach ! Then I woke up in a hospital really out of whack had facial hair was wearing a diaper with a catheter in my penis couldn’t understand what was going on ! Made it to a telephone call my house and the phone had been disconnected ! ? Call my mother-in-law’s house and my wife answered that’s where the Story really begins ! My. Heavenly Father had already spared my life twice wants from being shot between the eyes with a bow and arrow when I was 5 II reckon a 750 Kawasaki off of a curve doing 55 miles an hour not getting a scratch totaling the bike ! Now this accident me falling asleep at the wheel or passing out Cruisin 65 miles an hour ! Never recalling any recovery effort or anything that happened during the accident ! Months have went by in my recovery effort I had the brain thought pattern of a 4 year old until I woke up having to pee ! After speaking to my wife and going back to my room where I was rushed By nurses questioning me of who I was did I know my name social security number and where I was at ! Was kept at the hospital for a length of time that I can’t remember before I was released to go home or to where my wife and two children were living at my mother-in-law’s !!  my wife needed help with the two girls seeing she was still in college and working is why she left the house we were renting. The military gave me 30 days to get my home life together before I went back to active duty, in that time I can’t remember how many days it was before my wife explain why there was so much tension in the household it was because there was a passenger in the car with me and the passenger was a female !

Within that time me and my wife tried to work it out we went through counseling I thought we were really trying I requested an early separation when George Bush offered the early out program for the military by having so many people and at the time of Desert Storm !

    There is a lot of life lying beneath this stream-of-consciousness story, apparently including not one but two stories about temptation—your own and your wife’s! I can see how these events might haunt you, and I’m glad you made it through them.

    Do you use voice recognition software to write your stories?
