I will never be an alcoholic or do drugs. I want to be like my father--respected. For over a year, I have been praying for wisdom, like Solomon in the Bible.Be careful what you pray for!At the age of seventeen, I broke my neck diving off a seawall. I should have drowned. My doctor, as well as another respected surgeon, stated, "David is paralyzed from the neck down. No chance of recovery."Within eight months of my stay in two hospitals, the insurance money ran out. I could walk. I could not use my right hand. I left the first hospital a drug addict because of a massive amount of morphine. Dosages were fairly unregulated in 1969.This is a wonderful true story of my life up to thirty years old.I quit a fantastic job making plenty of money in management. I was mentally and financially broke when I drove to California, arrived with little money, stayed for five months, worked, enjoyed life, and felt restored. I flew to Oahu with everything I owned in a backpack along with $260. I camped next to the ocean for five months, built a small business at Sunset Beach, bought a car, and rented a house on the beach.A spellbinding story, I promise you will feel like you are right there with me on the North Shore of Oahu back in 1977, when I was about to be murdered by six Samoans while hiking deep in the palm jungle with a friend. Imagine the power of the waves when you first learn to surf and the many ways to have fun all around Laguna Beach.This is my fascinating story, very unique and captivating.
