Journal entry by Jenna Schleifer

Ok...pretty sure everybody that 'knows' me knows for the most part as to what's going on with me!!  But...on Sept 17 of 2008  I was In a deadly 'accident!  I apparently jumped out of a truck that was going 55mph!  And he was my boyfriend at the time!  We were together for I don't know how long, but were engaged. Drunkenly engaged!  I never got a ring,  and we never did any planning!  Was great that we never got carried away with it!  I think he wasn't fully divorced from his last lady that left him!  Anyways.... I landed on the highway from falling from the truck. So he ended up turning around, stopped to pick me up and put me back in his truck!  I m knocked out, and in his words, I was filling his truck with blood  He said this to police, he didn't want blood in his truck!  So he pulled over, on a dark country road, got me out of his truck,  and pulled me into the ditch! And left me there unconcious, bleeding heavily,  and he drove away!  After a bit of time,  a lady was curious about the blood!  Which I'm sure others saw it,  assuming it was from a deer being drug into a ditch!  Well this girl stopped to check it out!  Finds me there,  she calls those 3 numbers to let them know!  They get there!  I was given a 1-3% chanceto live!   I guess they were unsure if they should even turn  the sirens on...thinking I had no chance!!  Well, they alarmed in!  Doctors got to me,  said the same thing with the 1-3%   put a stint on my head to I dunno!  To decrease the size  My family got there as soon as ty hey heard!
