“LET YOUR FAITH BE BIGGER THAN YOUR FEAR”
I was granted a second chance at life. ... It was on this day I lost my right arm, lost dear friends, and only through a miracle of God, was brought back to life after being presumed dead. When a Chevrolet truck carrying 43 passengers struck us head impact front my car on at 6pm. The impact from the collision injured 33 passengers in the truck, and instantly took the life of six, including all four passengers accompanying me. I don’t know how, or why my life was spared, but I am determined to use this God given opportunity to make a difference. I was holding onto life by a thread when extracted from the vehicle post-accident. The car accident left me with traumatic and severe brain injuries, loss of blood that required 5 transfusions, terrible wounds, and both lungs perforated. And due to the severities of the wounds, my right arm was amputated.
”BE STRONG YOU NEVER KNOW WHO YOU ARE INSPIRING”
For eight days, I was in a coma, and the doctors decided to disconnect me from the ventilator machine, ... with little to no hope in my abilities to survive without life support. Miraculously, with little to no hope in my abilities to survive without life support. Miraculously, I began breathing on my own.The months following the accident were the darkest days anyone could imagine. These days were filled with fear, depression, anger, confusion, and very little care or sympathy from those around me. I needed my families support, love, and care in those hard moments that I was encountering at that time. The brain trauma had left me with very little recollection of what happened, where I was, or who I was. All that was most certainly real, in those moments after coma, was intense physical pain. Occasionally, doctors would remove the dead and infectious tissue from the amputated arm wound, to potentially promote healing. Due to Cuba’s lack of medical advancement, and little regard to patient safety, I remember them scraping the dead tissue without any anesthetic or sedative. While I was in the hospital, I contracted a bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, causing severe and painful skin infections. The lack of infection prevention control was evident in Cuba’s hospital, as I continuously experienced numerous infections. As a patient in Cuba, I learned the gravity of the hospital’s quality and the severity of the hospital’s condition- no hygiene, no A/C, lack of medication, and the failure to execute processes of care. After 13 days in the hospital, I was sent to jail with open and infected wounds, and no therapy. The conditions in the jail were inhumane and filthy, and much worse than the hospital. All I can remember, on my first days in Jail, was my wound itching incessantly and bleeding continuously, and unfortunately, the medical attention was scarce. I waited impatiently in jail for trial, as legal actions had been taken under Cuba’s judicial socialistic bureaucracy. I was very anxious and desperate waiting for the trial, to be sent home. Instead I was sentenced to seven years in prison, despite the evidence demonstrating that I, indeed, was not responsible for the tragic accident. Instead, I myself was a victim! They withheld the documents from court showing that I did not have any alcohol or drugs in my system, and concealed that I had suffered severe brain injuries and had been in an eight day coma. They also didn't allow this video to be played to demonstrate it wasn't my fault even with the USA embassy in court. They wanted it to make it political and since the United States of America didn't have any tides with the communist relationship with Cuba; my country sadly couldn't do anything for me. I spent 28 months in two Cuba’s prisons, El Convinado del Este and La Condesa. I was wasting away with rashes all over my body, continuous ongoing stomach viruses, malnourishment, and little to no medical attention; and when medical attention was given, it was rudimentary. Awaiting desperation of weeks and months (851 days in prison), finally the day of March 19th, 2015 arrived and I was sent home free (USA). Homeland Sercurity awaiting my arrival. 3/19/2015. No amount of words or pictures exist that I can present to demonstrate all the pain suffered by the families of the victims of this horrific accident, and my family who suffered and fought for me to be free. This story, unfortunately, will never serve justice to the nightmare lived by the victims and the families of the victims. Despite being sentenced as a criminal, I was also a victim. I lost four of my closet friends, have to accept living my new life with one arm, and now am on a new road to recovery. Today, as I look at myself in the mirror, I try to look past the missing arm, and attempt to embrace life each and every day with a positive outlook. I know that this will be an ongoing challenge for me after losing my dominant arm. Activities most people take for granted every day, such as, tying shoelaces, opening a bottle, getting dressed, cutting and eating my meals, are a daily struggle for me; I'm back alive and love the beautiful life and smile everyday 🙂 "Beautiful People!"
