The Accident

So, as I said, I had been doing archeology jobs since I graduated college. I got a new job working about 60 or 70 miles outside Albequuerque, New Mexico. It was on the first day of the new job and I guess it wasn't stormy at all and a lightening bolt came out of no where and struck me. I don't remember anything about a week prior to the accident or several weeks after, so all this information has been relayed to me by others. I guess when the lightening struck me, a co-worker gave me CPR for about 15 minutes, and thank God for that because he saved my life! After those 15 minutes, the EMTs arrived and continued CPR for over 20 minutes. Following that I was life-flighted to the ICU at UNM. That night, my parents got the phone call that would change the rest of their lives. It was a restless night for them (to put it mildly) and the soonest they could get a flight was the next morning. My dad immediately started the caring pages website so he had something else to focus on other than always worrying about me. So, if you'd like more information from their point of view, you can visit care pages.com and enter Tesser(my nickname)!
