Shot in the Head Memory
This is the only memory that I think has been documented. This part is not written, but the event did happen and is documented through my own past writing and many photos.
I landed in an open area where there were shrubby trees and if the plane had moved 20 or 30 feet more I would have been in these trees. The sky seems overcast to me, but I may have been suffering from the injuries that impaired my vision. It is hard to focus on anything and my eyes don't seem to want to stay open. I feel like I'm fighting to stay conscious. I keep thinking that I need to get out of the plane and that's all I was thinking about. I clumsily try and stand up after I get my set belt unharnessed. I was so dizzy, and everything moved around in a quick fashion.
I lurch forward and felt the side of the plane and slid head first out and landed uncomfortably on the ground. I also remember the thorns or rocks that I have landed upon. My back hurts like when camping and sleeping on the ground and the rocks are not cleared from under the tent. It hurts and it's constant. I remember lying on my back and looking up at the sky. It looks all blurry and white. It is so hard to focus my eyes. Everything moves strangely. People are moving around me and I hear them talking about me. They are German. I understand them clearly. They are worried and are doing their best to help me.
I am so fortunate to have such people around. I want to tell them, but I don't know if they understand me or not. I feel like I am conscious yet unable to communicate clearly that I'm aware. I feel numb, miserable, and confused. I know that I have survived. Not really sure how though. I also have vague impressions of being transported in some kind of vehicle. People seem so worried and I want to assure them for some reason.
