All Chapters of The Fabulous Flaming Moose : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

It appears to be true, your life really does pass before your eyes as you are near Death's door, I am hopeful that the ripper doesn't answer, as I am not feeling ready to go, this may sound completely crazy, totally selfish perhaps to some even seen as lame, but I really want to know if I at least won that race, especially if it's my last.Rubbing is racing, it's just a part of the sport, we were side by side, no holding back, two Indy cars at full speed to that finish line, that crowd was cheering loud as we were in sight of the checkered flag, couldn't have been more then a car length away.Not sure what happened, how did we wreck? Saw that beautiful  checkered flag then spinning fast and flipping, headache, ears ringing and blackout, only knowing that some how we crashed together across that finish line but who? Who finished first? Feels like this is a finish for the history books, almost a legacy but who remembers the second place finish, unless it was for being

"Hello Sweetie, so happy you stayed!"  Thank you, my dear, that oh so soothing sweet Angelic voice, I frantically try to open my eyes, I want to see who has this captivating voice with such warmth. This Angel of mine or so it feels, it isn't working, my eyes aren't opening and I don't think I felt me move at all.It is strange, I feel so restless yet not like my body is moving, yet it does feel a little shaky or vibrating?  That strange buzzing/ringing is there but not as loud as before, I hear the beeping of the machines."All right your chart says your name is Jonathan Moose, so Mr Moose Welcome to the ICU"  Is it so wrong to want to have her keep talking, I want to see what she looks like, that must be as shallow as me wanting to know I won, is this the weird thoughts and experience others had with a near death event?"This is good news, your chart is showing that over two shifts, 12 hours after surgery you are maintaining stable" Is it wrong o

Thank you God, for all the blessings in my life, for the driver who drove on my behalf for the last 3 races, for all the hard work of our race team paying off, all of the laps I have led, the races I have won, the career I have had, I would love to celebrate with them, would love to hug those nieces and spare them the sight of these machines and tubes, Help me cope with the change of life in the fast lane to how slow this all is, help me find who I am with out racing and maybe just maybe send me someone to love, I m sure my Dad must pry everyday for some grandchildren of his own and not just Tony's girls, Thank you for Tony and them living next door to become my best friend and brother, if I haven't said it enough I am so Thankful for my life and would really like it to be your will that I can return to living it please and Thank you, Amen.Excitement of that great news lingered, less questions, less worry, just joy, happiness, feeling my heart racing, my body tingling, oh no,

I drank another cup of full water and then slept the rest of the night. morning came Florence back on shift, awake when she entered, started with a weak 'hi.." "Good job Moose" she dropped the sir, is she having a bad day already? "have your morning eye drops and cup of water" i don't know but I think I smiled as i replied "ok", "nice job moose, soon we won't be able to get you to stop talking, and yes it's a joke, we need you to tell us things" maybe dropping sir and just calling me moose is her way of flirting? Wait should i be thinking that? I swear I hear dad and Florence just outside the room door, "You're looking a lot better today son!" Why do i feel like I missed him when I know he has been here. 'heard you have been more awake, and making head way in talking too, that's great news son" let's seeA full half day awake, head way, however before lunch i was given my pain meds, still iv dip and took what i feel was a two hour nap, could be less, could be mor

Another month come and gone since my accident, a month in a coma and a month out. One of the best things is I am now eating solid food, it started with the shake and soup, moved up to mashed then solid food, at first it hurt a little and I had to get used to chewing again but I am happy to be eating and no longer having a feeding tube. I over heard that some physio will begin, got me a little excited, before the crash I enjoyed working out, felt being fit helped me be a better driver, who knows maybe I can impress a few nurses. No really this is exciting news as up until now it was only on my right arm and now it will include a bit more. I almost rushed my breakfast as my casts are to come off today, the left leg is the slowest to heal and isn't exactly ready but everything is, no small linger breaks, so to be clear in my rushing thoughts is left leg stays in the cat but my left leg comes out of the cast today, so I wanted to rush through br
