The sticky, pasty feeling below my skin above my knee is still there and I doubt it will ever go away.
I’m not very speedy on a bicycle and my lower back still seizes up now and then.
I’ve put a crash that involved a distracted motorist smashing into me from behind in Florida in early March 2017 behind me.
But physical trauma never is erased.
It’s a journey of recovery, healing, persistence and purpose and I documented this passage in a new book I am releasing in four to six weeks titled, Long Road Back To Las Vegas: How Las Vegas and the Golden Knights healed a journalist’s wounds.
I’ve written the back story of LVSportsBiz.com and how my survival at the hands of a distracted motorist who was not even given a traffic ticket for slamming his car into me was the catalyst behind the long road back to Las Vegas.
The launch of LVSportsBiz.com, which included the coverage of the Vegas Golden Knights’ you-could-not-believe inaugural season, helped serve as an emotional anchor as I tried to move ahead and not look back at a violent crash caused by a motorist that nearly killed me.
The book message is simple: if I can cope with and recover from a physical trauma so can you.
I’ll have more details as the book is published during the next month. So please stay tuned on social media.
And don’t forget to read LVSportsBiz.com and be alert when operating a motorized vehicle.
