I rode my bike up to Milwaukee, WI in August of 03 for Harley Davidson's 100th anniversary. I made it to the event and while on my way back to my hotel room I never knew what hit me? I was struck head on by a repeat DWI Offender(The Coward Louis Osbaldo Saldivar)(Chicago) who crossed over into my lane of traffic. I was not expected to live. I suffered many Traumatic Injuries to the left side of my body. Both my left arm and leg were shattered and de-gloved and I lost my left leg just below the knee. I have a steal rod in my left forearm and left thigh. They had to do a Total Hip Replacement on my left side. I have ulnar nerve damage in my left elbow which affects my pinky and ring finger on my left hand. I also suffer from a Traumatic Brain Injury. The coward Louis Osbaldo Saldivar(Chicago) who hit me suffered no injuries and later committed suicide. Leaving me not only to suffer from my injuries, but to also suffer all the financial cost. I lost everything including my job of 22 years that I loved here at the H.S.T. V.A. Hospital. There was no big payday for me. I am doing well considering all that I have been through.
