Proceed with caution I say!
I feel uneasy all of that day.
Nothing particular just a way
that you feel, don't know if
you're dreaming or if it's for
real! I drive with caution 100
per cent of the time, car crash
fatalties statistics at the top
of my mind...And then from
nowhere I hear my Mother's
voice say..."Be careful baby
you know it's fools out there
today!" To deliver a Christmas
gift something that I just had
to do...Who knew when and
how I would run into you ?
Around the corner where you
shouldn't have been....
You eighteen wheeler in a
downward spin...straight
towards me and I had no
where to go...Defensive
driving 101, I'm coming
up with zero, cars to the
right of me ...oh God let
him go to the right. I throw
the car in reverse...I hear
someone scream a curse
blackness and then I am
seeing upside down and
then around again, am I
dreaming my wheels come
down in a dead spin. I snatch
the keys from the ignition
before I black out...
A drunk driver...*** hole!
Ya know what I'm talking
about...It's Christmas he
said, wanted to stop by
and see the wife and the
kids...didn't know he would
not be able to avoid the
skids..."She came out of
nowhere!" "**** you
is my silent scream...you
weren't supposed to be
there. I hear a voice from
somewhere calling out
numbers and my name...
and then a stick...is this
all in my mind? I hear a
siren from somewhere
I think it's so awfully
close..."Oh my God!"
I hear myself say...
and then the pain!!!
Wonderful thing the brain
in times of terrible trauma
it doesn't immediately
register pain...
Until you come out of sweet
sublime mind numbing shock!!!
Morphine is a CROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!
My pain was on dead lock...
Internal injuries, concussion
mutiple contusions , abrasions
and not one broken bone....
"INSANE"!! Says my indisputable
brain....A loud explicative I cannot
refrain...my chest I keep telling
them my chest..."Oh bruised Ribs!"
Thank God for extra padding, thick
clothes and God's mercy....and
13 blood clots and two months
later...Can't say I was feeling
greater...But my insides were
shaking for months...
I would have nightmares and
cold sweats, and hot chills
and mind numbing imaginary
spills...Terrified of riding in
a car for another month...
SURVIVOR....
December 24,1981
Thought I was done...
**** near the same thing
happend again in 1991
And I'm thanking him for
keeping me in his care...
for the next time somebody
somewhere says...
"She came out of nowhere!"

*True story folks!
 
Lived to tell the Story!

Yeah, truly blessed and I appreciate having a place to work this out, cause I never talked about how horrific it actually was for me and then to have an equally bad one hit from behind by a drunk Driver in 1991...So yes...I would say I have been blessed...
Blessings On Ya House!
