Serious accident Villafana gets second chance Senoir Juan Villafana knew the outcome of drinking and driving as he was almost killed in an accident involving a drunk driver. ln the accident, Villafana was seriously injured and lucky to be alive and well today. He suffered from a punctured lung, a torn aorta, cracked ribs, and was suspected of having brain damage. According to Villafana, the doctors were sure he would die because they thought he had a seizure which would have caused major brain disfunctions. I didn't know what happened, said Villafana, until l woke up in the hospital. l didn't tdon'tj remember having the acci- dent. Villafana was hospitalized for one month and learned to appreciate the little things in life which he had taken for granted. Taking a shower, getting in and out of bed, and dressing himself were things Villafana was unable to do without assistance. I don't take my life for granted anymore, said Villafana, and l've learned to be patient with myself and others. According to Villafana, material things are not as important as life itself. After the accident Villafana had forgotten things he had learned before like algebra and Spanish. l was at a friend's house and l went to call my mother to tell her when I would be home, said Villafana, but l couIdn't re- member my phone number. Although some memory was lost it all eventually returned. The man responsible for the accident was sentenced to jail for three years and four years probation. by Dina Smith 1 Erica Berry Amy Bettencourt Mike Bianco Jeff Bingham Danny Bisbee Kathleen Bittner Pamela Bitz David Black Q '.... .
