How do I handle and deal with this?

Asked by redsgirl4eva (262points) August 18th, 2008

I was driving in the bad part of Detroit, MI looking for my older brother. Not knowing I was on the totally wrong side of town. Anyways unbeknowns to me a drive by was going to start and I was in the middle of it. Two cars right beside me started to shoot there guns and a bullet from each side hit my ears and a couple bullets also hit the motor of my small car. I was totally confused and hurt and I guess I was also in shock but my car went into a yard and hit a brick vacant building. I broke both my legs and lost my hearing in both ears. The hospital got ahold of my brother and he signed the papers for me to have emergency surgery on my legs and ears so they could try to save both my legs and the hearing in both ears. They were able to save both legs but for my hearing they did not get to my ears on time. I can say although this is very hard for me and it really hurts not to be able to hear anything but silence I am glad I guess to b alive. I say I guess because I had always depended on my hearing for everything and know I have no hearing. It is so difficult for me right now. I know this is a very sad but freak accident.
I am now totally deaf and in a wheelchair with two broke legs. I will get out of the wheelchair eventually but i will never get my hearing back what do I do?
