Real life short story

How to really start? My life has always been filled with an odd amount of first person tragedy but, I know I'm not the only one. At the young age of seven I was hit by a car, tossed in the air like a ragdoll, broken left femur bone, ten skull fractures and two months of coma. Luckily I didn't suffer to much brain trauma but, I don't remember much of my childhood, even after the accident and still to this day I have some short-term memory loss. A few years later while playing on a swing, I decided to jump out of the swing, which I'm sure we all did, and my foot caught the swing, sling shots me to the ground and breaks my left forearm.Clean break. As I think back on it I surprisingly don't remember it actually hurting, I heard the snap and couldn't feel my arm but the panic overcame the pain I guess. Didn't learn anything. Still did dumb stuff thru my teens but no severe injuries, amazingly. I turned eighteen and met this beautiful woman who is now my wife, but in two thousand and five, around Halloween, leaving a party in the middle of the night after, unfortunately, drunkenly, slapped my girlfriend and karma slapped me back. BAM! Hit by another car. Tore the left calf muscle completely from the two broken shin bones, ten more skull fractures and a punctured lung. Doctors not able to find the puncture, my family and girlfriend were struck with the fact I may not make it. Miraculously the hole healed itself but, with all the damage there was still a chance I wouldn't make it. By God's grace I did. While healing and my girlfriend losing her apartment,we moved in with my parents for a while then her mom's.
