Join Lemmy G @Chafuwameza with guest Eddy Kipchogoi as we discuss his life journey as he almost unalived himself in a swimming pool incident a few years back. Eddy is a natural born Kenyan who moved to Diaspora US to look for better pastures for him and his family. What he didn't know is what was waiting for him ahead in the process of looking for a better life. Eddy moved to US approximately 3yrs ago. He managed to settle down and got himself a job as a truck driver. He worked and enrolled in college while trying to support his family back in Kenya. Things took a turn one day when Eddy took a load to North Carolina and decided to visit his friend. His friend was not home that day. So Eddy decided to go swimming in the neighborhood pool as he waited for his buddies to get back home. Unfortunately he to dive in the shallow end of the pool and ended up hitting the floor of the pool. Eddy lost consciousness and the good Samaritans around pulled him out the pool. He was rushed to the nearby hospital where they worked on him trying to save his life. He had broken his spinal cord, his lungs were ruptured and filled with water. He was unconscious for 3 months. Eddy's life had taken a turn for the worst and he had no idea since he was unconscious. When Eddy finally got his consciousness back he was filled in on what's going on with his life and he couldn't believe it. Eddy had even a harder task ahead of him of relieving his new condition to his family back in Kenya. Eddy now has fully accepted himself and his new lifestyle. He mobiles around in an electronic wheel chair and tries as much as he can to be independent even though his a dependent to his family. He now lives in Kenya with his own kids and wife.
