![]() ![]() She was by his side as he continued to recover, as he regained his strength, and as he learned to walk again. That fateful afternoon, she came over & the rest is history. She was acquainted with Tyler – enough to answer his cousin’s cry for visitors – but not quite enough to have come to visit him on her own. His cousin organized a list of people (mostly her own friends) who would come & visit Tyler to help keep him company on a regular basis. Going slightly (okay, overly) stir-crazy, he began begging people to come to visit him. Not able to work, and still not given permission to move much further than sitting up, he relied on his parents & family for everything. For weeks, he laid in his hospital bed, and when finally given the green light to go home, he went back to live with his parents. Not only was he facing strict no-moving orders in order for his foot & leg to heal, but he also had, what he calls, a zipper in his stomach. Waking up the next morning dawned a whole new existence for Tyler. The stomach surgeon was “technically” off that day, but “just happened” to be in his office as the hospital staff were ferociously trying to get a hold of him. He was immediately rushed to the hospital where reconstructive surgery was started in order to save his foot & leg – as the only thing holding the two together was his Achilles Tendon.Īs if that whole situation wasn’t quite crazy enough, while he was on the operating table, his spleen ruptured. ![]() Tyler was knocked unconscious & an unknown time later, was found by a police officer who was driving by. On his way up to WalMart, a deer collided with him & sent him & his bike in opposite directions. With his only transportation left being his motorcycle, he ran out after work one night to grab some lunch meat for his lunch the next day. It all started with someone stealing his car. Little did he know that his life was about to change, dramatically. He got a job, his own place & settled into living the American Dream. Having served his country, Tyler came home to the Pittsburgh, PA area. Rachel & Tyler’s story could easily be scripted into the most romantic of movies.
