[yamaha_scorpio] "Never ride faster than your guardian angel can fly"





Pagi,

Berikut saya post link, kesebuah web-article yang cukup bagus.

Bukan bermaksud menakuti, melarang.. Tetapi hanya untuk menjadi bahan pertimbangan

Kata dibawah ini:
"Never ride faster than your guardian angel can fly"
Cukup berarti bagi saya:


Never ride faster than your guardian angel can fly  

By Glen Roberts of Reservoir

You're laying in bed and the light shines through the curtains, argh its time to get up.

Then it hits you, you can't get out of bed yet as help hasn't arrived.

"What help?" you may ask. Your nurse.

You push the buzzer and ask to get up, you're told that they will be there shortly but they have to finish serving breakfast.

Ah yes. Breakfast. I remember that; eggs, bacon, cereal. But now because I had a trachea tube (a tube which is inserted into the neck to help you breath) I have a liquid meal given to me through a tube (gastrostomy tube) which is inserted into my stomach.

The Nurses come in, two as a matter of fact, and they prepare me for my shower.

Talking to me the whole time sometimes chatting between themselves, asking me how my night was and I respond with a slight nod or one blink for yes or two blinks for no.

They ask if I need any pain relief before my shower and I blink yes as I know that it is a long and arduous task, not really wanting it as I hate needles but it helps, "wiggle your toes" they say, I can't bloody move them let alone wiggle them but I try anyway.

They pick me up in a hoist and transfer me on to a shower trolley and it's cold but eventually warms up, and we are whisked off into the shower.

They try to keep my dignity, but it's hard when you don't have control over your bladder and bowels, and they clean me up and shower me without fuss while still talking to me all the time.

Once showered I am placed in a pad, just like a big nappy and dressed and placed into a wheel chair, a special one designed for me.

I attend therapies during the day many different types and they are arduous and tiresome but I need to be re-taught how to do everything again.

Speech therapy to talk, physio for walking and to prevent contractures in the muscles and many other ones as well.

By the time the day ends, I am tired, have been visited by mum and dad, family and friends and it's night. Time for the routine to go to bed, I won't take you through that or the countless times I have been hoisted in and out of my chair, up and down, cleaned up and pad changed but lets just say I am glad to get my head down on my pillow.

This isn't the story of one person in particular; this is the story of many riders who have had head and spinal injuries due to accidents.

I know this story and know it to well, as I was one of those Nurses. I use to work in a head and spinal injury unit.

These people, if they go through rehab, can go back to leading some kind of quality life, many don't, and the reason I tell you this common story, is today I went to a funeral of a fellow rider. One of the unlucky and unfortunate victims of a road accident.

The trauma, stress and grief that you, your family and friends go through is not worth that extra few minutes you gain by sitting in a blind spot, doing 5ks over the limit, lane splitting, moving traffic, drinking or just being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Motorcycling is fun and a way of life and is meant to be enjoyed, so enjoy it and keep safe at the same time.

A quote I saw on the bottom of fellow riders posts says: "Never ride faster than your guardian angel can fly."
