'It feels like my whole life just did a somersault, and I had a lot going for me, and I still do, but this is extremely unfortunate,' Annie Shea Wheeler said.
Nearly two weeks after chunks of falling limestone fell on her, fracturing her skull, as she was walking home in Wicker Park, Columbia College student Annie Shea Wheeler is still suffering symptoms of a concussion, and can't remember the moment she nearly died.
Wheeler still has one bloodshot eye, and multiple surgical staples in her skull following her surgery. "I'm graduating college in a few weeks, and it feels like my whole life just did a somersault, and I had a lot going for me, and I still do, but this is extremely unfortunate," she said. Wheeler said all she can recall from the incident is that she was taking her routine walk home on April 6, on her way from the Blue Line, using the same crosswalk she always does, and the next thing she remembers is opening her eyes on the ground, and seeing her roommate across the street.
