Matt,
I've been in my share of car wrecks too. I remember one wreck in particular. I’d heard about other accounts of it and about the rush of adrenaline, but it actually happened to me where I ended up tapping into a source of superhuman strength that I never thought possible. My first wife was driving my brand new car when she had a wreck. She wasn't focused because she was too busy nagging me about never listening to her, or maybe it was something else. I wasn’t really paying attention, and to this day I still don’t know what she was talking about. Anyway, we crashed. My first thought was immediately trying to remember if I’d deleted my internet history, just in case I didn’t make it. I finally managed to pull myself together, gather up all my cd’s and get out before my new car caught on fire. There wasn’t enough time to do everything that needed to be done, and unfortunately, my wife ended up being trapped inside. I've had priority issues in the past, and in fact, the wife had been nagging me about that a few days earlier. On that day, despite what was going on around me, for once in my life, I finally had my priorities in order. Then the superhuman strength kicked in and I managed to fight off the three firemen who tried to free her. I’ll never forget having to go see her afterwards. She was still smoking from the wreck. As I fanned the smoke, I was eventually able to see her face and I slapped her so hard, she rolled right off the coroner’s table. If she had just listened to me. Days before the accident, I kept telling her that she's not allowed to leave the kitchen, but she insisted on learning to drive. After all that had happened, I failed to realize the extent of my injuries and I ended up having extensive plastic surgery to get the smile off my face.
