Hello, my name is Andrew Bennett. I am a former member of the United States Air Force of 7 years. I joined the military July of 2013 and left August 2020. I was stationed in Grand Forks ND and deployed for 6 rotations. After separating from the Air Force I waited 2 months and finally moved back to Arizona at the very end of October. 2 weeks after my return to Arizona on November 15th I went on a motorcycle ride with my family where we stopped for a nice lunch before the ride home. While riding home we came to a left turn and my bike got the "death wobble" in the middle of it. I was going 60mph and I applied both brakes attempting to right myself and somehow make it through the turn. Unfortunately I hit the guard rail and flew off the left side of the bike into the road where my body rolled multiple times (I don't know how many) and I never blacked out through the whole experience. I could feel everything that was broken when I finally stopped rolling but my first thought as my mind seemed to be racing a million miles an hour was "get out of the road" "don't get run over". With those thoughts and adrenaline now numbing the pain I rolled myself off to the side of road. I can't remember the names of the extremely nice people who helped me, I can however remember there horrified voices telling me to stop moving. Now I was in full gear: full helmet, padded jacket, padded gloves, jeans and steel toe boots. The paramedics finding a place to put the IV's in so I could get pain meds was the worst pain I've ever felt in my life aside from the catheter later that week. All of my limbs were too swollen for the traditional places to put an IV so they had to drill into my shin bone so I could receive pain medication. The result of my accident was 2 broken arms, 2 broken hands, 2 broken feet and a lot of broken toes/fingers (my right foot and hand were shattered "as if a shotgun had gone off in them"). Before leaving the military I was told I would have Tricare (military health insurance) until January of 2021. The first week in the hospital and right after the surgery for my hands and arms I was told my Tricare coverage had already ended and would not cover any of my medical expenses. With my broken hands all casted up I then called the VA and got there health insurance but since the accident and surgeries already took place they were not going to help me out either. It's been a little over a Year now and I'm walking, I have most of my functionality with the expected lingering pains and I'm working. All of this being said the hospital and specialists are asking too much money monthly and I cannot pay my medical bills. I am aware there are those in worse situations and honestly I don't expect much from this, just throwing a "hail Mary" if any kind soul's would help me with my predicament. This was long winded and if you read it I appreciate you for simply doing that. Have a blessed day/night.
