So the last time I wrote I was whining about a tooth being pulled (still a little sore) well I had written that entry at 7 in the morning, I took the day off of work since my daughter was driving back to college and I wasn't feeling real great. We decided to go to lunch near the turnpike so we drove separately as we were going she was infront of me, there were 2 cars that were coming towards us, my daughter was a good 10 car lengths in front of me, anyway the car in front stopped to make a left turn, she had to wait for me to pass, the car behind her didn't see her stop until it was too late and rear ended her. The car in front spun around in front of me and I crashed in to her. What a mess! I looked up and the older lady was slumped over her steering wheel, she had been hit twice! I prayed oh Lord no, please let her be ok, I got out of my car and she looked up dazed, and got out of her car, she comes over to me and starts yelling at me, you didn't have your turn signal on! I said I wasn't turning. It took a while for her to understand because the car that hit her was in the ditch. Anyway they took the older lady in the ambulance, my daughter drove me to the hospital and the younger girl was fine. I have a broken knee cap. I thank God it wasn't separated just cracked across so they put me in a stabilizer (brace from my ankle to the top of my thigh). Next day I go to the bone dr. and what do you think is going through my head? My lapband surgery! Which btw I had just heard that morning before the accident from Nate and my date was set for Dec. 11th, so the bone dr says it won't interfer with my lapband surgery and I may even be out of the brace by then. All is well. They gave me pain pills, and I'm getting around ok, just get tired easy, which could be from the pills. Bad thing is my hubby leaves today for Philly for a week to work. Ugh! I am used to this - his working away - but when he told me I started to cry. It'll all be ok. Just keep me in your prayers.
