Becoming

September 22, 1996 Ryan, Joey (My Husband) and Dave were on their way back to Pennsylvania from Ohio. They had a great visit with their friend Jeff who was attending school in Ohio. Dave and Joey fought over the back seat so they could lay down and take a nap on the 8 hour long drive home. Joey won the debate and got cozy in the back seat. About 45 min into the drive Joey hears gravel hitting the bottom of the car. The next thing he knows , he is flying through the air, hears a woman scream and then complete silence. When he lands he can't breath and hears his friends calling for him with panic in their voices, but he is unable to respond. Once he catches his breath he realizes he is unable to move his legs. Joey's friends find him on his back about 20 feet from the white 1990 VW Jetta and rush to his side asking if he is ok. He responds with "yeah, I'm o.k.. Just get help."
