The first year following my accident was almost entirely in the hospital and from one hospital

to another, a little bit back and forth, depending on what kind of care that I needed.

And then when I did return home and move back, it was like getting back into school, getting

used to being in a wheelchair doing things differently.

And then maybe I'd been home for about two years and my family decided they'd heard about

a wheelchair sports camp in a city close to us because we lived in a small town.

And they decided to put me in.

So I went for two weeks and played all different kinds of parisports, everything from floor hockey to sledge hockey to

tennis to wheelchair basketball. And that was kind of my first taste of parisport as well as my

first chance to be around other kids who had disabilities because, like I said, in a small

town, I was the only person.

I don't know what happened, but there is like, that tire is blown out.

There is a hole in the tire.

I mean, I know if you get a flat tire, you got a hole in it.

Well, but also the tire's not old.

Like a lot of times when people have a blowout, it sounds like

their tire was worn. Yeah. The car is not even three years old. It's got 30,000 miles on it. Yeah.

So it was odd that it happened. Yes. So, uh, so I got to sit in a McDonald's parking lot
