    <description><![CDATA[A little about me :)<br />
My name is Rachel Griffith,<br />
On September 19th, 2010 I was in a car accident, I lost control of my Chevy s10, the ground was slick that day. It slide off the road and flipped hitting a tree, my side was crushed my passenger only had a few scratches. I on the other hand was trapped, they had to use the jaws of life to get me out. Then I was loaded in an ambulance to ride over to life flight who was in a hay field across the road, where I was taken to Legacy Emanuel Hospital. There I was put through many tests, they found out I had broken many ribs, my scapula&#39;s, and my back, paralyzing me at the T10-T11. I then went through a 10 hour surgery to fix my back, and a week from then they had to use some of my rib as well as other things it lasted 8 hours. I spent 64 days in the hospital.[tp:youtube id=JSwC3HR3NXo]]]></description>
