I just want to say thank you to everyone who's helped me on this board since I started posting here.  You mean a lot to me.

I'm not going anywhere or anything.  I was just in a pretty bad car wreck (car ended up upside down) and that kind of thing focuses you on what's important in life.  My passengers and I are ok, just RESPECT THE WIND COMING OFF SALT TRUCKS when on icy roads that don't look icy.

Oh, today is also E-eve for me.  Tragedy if I'd of lost my life today.  Less than 24 hours from that.

It was so odd.  As he car began to flip I had time to think, "yup, I'm going over."

Glad everyone is OK! Time slows down in those moments. Hugs, Devlyn

So glad to hear that you are OK and thank YOU for being an active participant in this forum. I know from experience that being upside down in a car can give you some new perspectives! Take care and get some studded tires!!!!  :-)

Studded car is an option at this point. I think the cavi has driven it's last mile.

When they righted it all I could think of is the movie Airport when they're examining the hole in the plane and the pilot says, "remind me to send a thank you message to Boeing". Just replace Boeing with Chevrolet.

Oh Bugger,  Misato. I am glad you are alright.  That had to have been scary ->-bleeped-<-eless.

As the storm approached and everyone is wishing me safe travels all I could think of is starting E and going full time.  I wanted to make it home safe.  I was, and happily remain, looking forward to starting my life.  I feel like a fool for not starting sooner.

I've also wondered if I hadn't had my T knocked down if I might have panicked and done something to make events worse as the accident unfolded.  I was an angry fake man.

Thanks Devlyn, Jessica and Ms. Obrien.  I'm back where I started today, but safe.  I was stranded in central Wisconsin, alone, when I started this thing.  Being able to post here kept me from being overwhelmed by the events all at once.

wow im glad your ok, i had 2 accidents in a car, one where i spun 720 degrees in the middle of traffic on an icy road in Texas, and the other where I ran into a car that was passing down a hill and they flipped up and over instead of me.

I'm glad you're ok too and still with us after your accidents, however long ago they happened, Shawn.

I'm mainly glad my kitties are ok.  I had to pray a prayer of thanks for that.  Once the car stopped I didn't know how to get out or the car, being upside down and all, but I knew I had to find my babies.  Cars can be replaced.  Momoko and Sora are each one of a kind.

Oh wow that is scary. Glad you are OK.  Life is pretty fragile.

Hugs and I'm glad the cats are OK too.

My neck is feeling the fragility this morning.  I think my body weight got put on my head after the roll.  It, the car, came down on the drivers side first.  When I realized that last night, well, I'm glad I had some tower defence to play to get my mind off of it.

Just my endo appt is at 11:30 and given the distance I have to cover and the roads, I ain't going to make it.  It's like salt in an open wound.  Today was supposed to be a day of celebration!  But then, I am alive to see it, and I'll get an appointment with my endo sometime.  Perspective girl, perspective.

Mama is taking her kitties to the vet as soon as we get home.  Momoko seems sore and Sora is recovering form illness.  I feel bad for not being able to get them in sooner, but it doesn't seem like an emergency.  I suppose that means I should go see a doctor myself eh? Grrrr....

Ahh yes get you fixed first. Your  cats need you more than you need them.

Take Care Sis

I found out at 11:30 that I now have to wait until January 2ed before I can get an appointment with my endo.  I know I should be thankful my kitties and I are alive and ok but I'm so frustrated that I had my day taken away from me like this.  I was looking forward to it for so long.  I could have used some stability here.  Am I wrong?  Or am I just finding reasons to be angry that I'm E-less?

I just want to sleep, work, take care of my kitties, and work out so I don't get fat for the next 23 days.  I don't want to go to my group.  I don't want to go home for Christmas.  I want to ignore the new year.  I just want to take care of what I have to to survive and sleep the rest of the time.  I feel like I had the rug jerked out from under me on the day after I nearly died.  I didn't need this!

But I am once again thankful for this place.  At least I know I can come here.  I don't know why i can't connect to the people in my IRL support group.  But this thread is getting old so maybe new replies won't come.  But at least that'll make sense to me.

Sis,

You want through a horrible accident.  Take the time to focus on YOU.  You need it.  And then the babies will have a well Mama.

They do keep from wallowing too much.  As I was typing my last I remembered then I need to be a good mama to my babies.

Still hurts I have to wait so long to start E after I was so close.  At least I have Spiro.  Still, muddies my coming out to everyone at work tomorrow.
