When I was born I was completely blind after six surgeries in my eyes I was able to see a little bit it is better than nothing I was 11 years old when I started seeing the doctors consider me legally blind seven years after that my accident happened it all happen in 1981 in high school my senior year I was in ROTC drill team it was a Saturday in the morning I told my mother is she could take me to practice she told me why you don't go with me and your little brother to the store ID to get a couple of things I said I prefer to go to practice so she took me to the school grounds for I could practice before I got off car she told me again are you sure you don't want to go I said I prefer to stay to practice 10 minutes after that I started horsing around with another kit and we end up playing wrestling at that time I used to wait 134 pounds the other kid waited 350 pounds like I said we started horsing around for the meantime the other kids got there and also the instructor he grabbed me from my back she put his arms around me I slip I was not able to put my hands in front of me so my head was first to the floor and all his weight of the other kid and up the top of me when I hit the floor my neck pop I tried to get up but I was not able I started feeling weird he told me get up I told him I can't she thought that I was joking he saw that I was sweating really bad and my face was changing colors he call the other kids they started coming towards me everybody was standing around me I was laying in the floor one of those kids was my best friend he was the only one that had a car's he told me you're not joking I said no I cannot get up so he got in the car and went to a small store that is close by the school ground to use the public phone call the ambulance she came back and told me that he already call the ambulance I told him to tell my mother what happened but not exactly what really happened to me the reason I said that to him was a month back she had barely per second heart surgery and I didn't want her to get a heart attack when she heard the news about me I did not know that I broke my neck I was scared from the school ground all the way to the hospital I was able to brief on my own when I got there I started feeling short of breath I don't recall what happened after that when I open my eyes I was in ICU connected to a respirator my mother got to the hospital and she was very surprise when the doctors told her what happened to me according to her what she told me she thought that I only broke a arm the doctors told my mother that I only going to survive 72 hours after three days passed by my mother and my older brothers decided to take me to Houston for a second opinion I was there for six months the doctors told my mother that I needed surgery in my back but the bad use that 50% that I could dive in surgery and the good news if you survive with therapy and 50% that he only could move his hands so my mother did not want to risk it after six months passed by I came back to Brownsville to a nursing home I was there a week I was by myself in the room thinking wondering crying I heard a noise I turned my head and I saw a air-conditioned window unit and suddenly the air conditioner caught the curtain and the started a fire I was not able to talk very well for the reason that I was connected to a respirator so I started making a lot of weird noises and whistling like crazy finally somebody hurt me one of the workers there came to the room and saw the fire she started yelling fire she started also getting me out the room pulling the bed out and they took out the rest of the patients out site I was the only one connected to a respirator so they call an ambulance to send me to the hospital for the meantime next day they were going to send me back to the nursing home they didn't want to take me back they told my mother it was too much responsibility to have a patient with a respirator I stay couple of days in the hospital until they find a nursing home nowhere in the Valley wanted to a set patients with a respirator I continue staying in the hospital until they found me a nursing home they did I needed to go outside the Valley and they took me to Killeen Texas I was there for two years and a half the name of the nursing home was Belhaven nursing home this I was not too happy of getting out the Valley I went over there by helicopter by mother and my two older brothers they were in court my attorney went to the nursing home to talk to me and asked me I'm going to meet you I at court we need to find a way to get you back to Brownsville in court I said okay I really didn't care my only thing was in my mind that I wanted to die but I wanted to die where I was born in Brownsville that was my plan nobody knew what I was thinking and wanted to do I was thinking if they take me to Brownsville I will let myself go and die nobody knew what I was want to do my attorney told me also is not going to cause anything to your parents I'll pay everything private nurse of respiratory therapists I'll pay both ways in the helicopter but I need to bear and I said okay I was losing a lot of weight I did not want to eat and drink water the only thing I had on my mind like I said I wanted to die but I said to myself if I die at least my family would have all that money if it we would've one we were going to get 75 million I was losing so much weight I used to wait 76 pounds two months from the last time my attorney talk to me she was going to arrange everything for me like he said to get me to
