when the police arrived they immediately called the homicide division as they did not think i would survive and the paramedic reported that she had never seen a person so severely wounded survive. at 1:30 a.m. my parents who lived in houston, were awakened by a telephone call from brackenridge hospital advising them to come to austin as soon as possible for they feared i would not make it through the night.
警察来了,他们很快断定是杀人案,因为没人相信我还能活过来,而救护人员说她从来没有见过伤势如此严重的人可以逃离死劫。下午一点半,我住在奥斯汀的父母被来自布莱肯瑞吉医院的电话铃惊醒,医院通知他们尽快赶到奥斯汀,因为他们认为我熬不过当晚了。
but i did make it through the night and early in the morning the neurosurgeon decided to operate. however, he quickly informed my family and sharon that my chances of surviving the surgery were only 40/60. if this were not bad enough, the neurosurgeon further shocked my family by telling them what life would be like for me if i beat the odds and survived. he said i probably would never walk, talk, or be able to understand even simple commands.
但那晚我挺了过来,第二天清晨神经外科医生决定给我动手术。但他立即告知我的家人和沙伦我存活的机会只有百分之四十。然后他还雪上加霜地告诉我的家人,向他们描述如果我万幸活下来将面临怎样的生活我可能再也不会走路了,不会说话了,甚至不能理解一些极其简单的命令。这些对我的家人来说都是莫大的打击。 my family was hoping and praying to hear even the slightest bit of encouragement from that doctor. instead, his pessimistic words gave my family no reason to believe that i would ever again be a productive member of society. but once again i beat the odds and survived the three and a half hours of surgery. granted, i still could not talk, my entire right side was paralyzed and many people thought i could not understand, but at least i was stable. after one week in a private room the doctors felt i had improved enough to be transferred by jet ambulance to del oro rehabilitation hospital in houston.
