Fine? I'm FINE? Well, isn't that just like Gramma to MINIMIZE my dire condition. Well...I never!
She's baaaaaaack.
I'm on vicodin (my new best friend) so pain eludes me.
My daughter was in the front passenger seat and we were going about 5mph when hit from behind (witness said the car was going approx 50mph). The impact broke and twisted the drivers seat and crushed the lower rear of the van, crumpling to the back seat.
I'm convinced there are some bruised angels in heaven tonight for protecting my daughter as they did. I'm so blessed to know she's not hurt.
I was transported to the hospital on a backboard...got motion sick in the ambulance ...oh for joy...soft tissue and muscle problems only...no broken bones or further injury that we know of at this point. Going in to the chiropractor on Monday to get fully checked out. The chiro is a dear friend of mine so I know I'll get quality care. She'll be examining El as well.
Funny quote from my husband while at the ER: "You'll do anything to have a back rub, won't you?" Actually the back rub would be great but I'm just tickled pink to NOT have to vacume for a while! LOL
My husband was en route to the scene and they transported me during that time, leaving El in the care of 8 fire fighters and LEO's. She'll be 12 in May and was just fine staying with some of America's Heros. I'm so thankful she's okay.
El felt fine so off we went to her Track and Field Clinic this morning. My chaffeur (sp?...too lazy and medicated to look up the right spelling) picked us up..Wild horses couldn't keep me away from watching my daughter run. :o)
I'm pretty beaten up but blessed by God's mercy and the prayers of His Saints. Thank you all again and again. Please continue praying. I think it'll be a while before I feel back to normal (whatever that is) and then there's the insurance fiasco that could happen.
The driver of the other car just got out of his dialysis appointment. He shouldn't have been driving. Even his caretaker said he's usually confused and generally not 'with it'. Hmmm.
May God bless each and every one of you who posted on this thread. Hold your loved ones close this evening. Take care in driving. Know He loves you tenderly.
