My Name is Randy James, and I am 32 years old. 1 year ago today, I made one of the worst decisions of my life. I crashed my motorcycle into a fire hydrant sheering it off with my body and my bike. This is my story of survival. The Bad the Good And the Ugly. This site does contain graphic images, just a warning to the readers. I am writing the blog mainly to give people hope. I nearly lost my life, lost a lot of intestines, and changed as a person from this. From learning how to walk again, dealing with an ileostomy bag, and supporting myself financially with out help from disability. This is the story of how I was forced to change my lifestyle, and resulted in owning a small business. Describing the ups, and downs of the entire experience. The emotions, the regret, the pain, and those I hurt through all of this.This is my second chance in life, as I was heading down a nasty path. Coming from a lifestyle of really not caring. Living on the edge, and fueling it all with alcohol. Welcome to my story, put on your seatbelt. Get ready for a wild ride. I have found myself a new man, sober almost a year. Rebuilding my life, including the legal aspects I am facing, the financial aspects, and the health problems. This is not a pity party, it is meant to inspire anyone feeling down, stuck, or on the edge of giving up.
