This was the ecard that Barbara sent me and I thought it was very appropriate!
Yesterday I was very very sore. All my muscles seemed to be screaming at me at the same time. My children wanted to say some very ugly things to the older women (late 70's early 80's) that hit me with her car. They are very protective of their Momma.
I've been having the same nightmare for the last two nights where I relive the experience over and over. I remember seeing the car coming at me, I remember ending up on the payment beside the car on my stomach, my knees, and my hands after being hit. I don't remember seeing the windshield, so I'm pretty sure that I was flipped over the hood on my back and rolled off on my stomach beside the car. I know it was only the grace of God that I wasn't hurt seriously and that I probably made my guardian angels work pretty hard this past weekend.
The officer that investigated the incident told me that the driver would be charger with reckless driving and that I would be required to testify on the court date. The judge will most likely order that she pay for my medical expenses. We have consulted the mission's lawyer and was told that we have two years to determine what kind of injuries were caused by the accident and not to sign anything. My left knee is not broken but I could have internal tearing that only an MRI will tell.
Today I got sick on the pain medication and have not been able to keep anything down all day. So the choices are be pain free and nauseated or to hurt and be able to keep down food and fluids. Great choice huh?
Mr. Wonderful has been true to his name. He has been truly wonderful. He is very supportive, caring, and a great nurse. He got me a raised potty seat as it is hard to sit on the commode with the knee immobilizer on. He knows how to put on the immobilizer ( a two person job) and is a pretty good cook too.
So, I'm taking things really slow. Pray that I heal quickly. Thanks for your prayers and well wishes.

Daisy - I hope you have a complete recovery, sooner rather than later.
Know that your bloggy friends are thinking about you and praying for a speedy recovery -- both physically, and mentally. I can only imagine what is going on on the inside, reliving the moment. God is faithful, and he still has plans for you. Hugs to Mr. Wonderful for being the wonderful guy he is.
((((HUGS MR. WONDERFUL!))))
And (((Hugs Daisy))) too! I'm sure that forgiveness is not on the top of your list of feelings toward the old woman ... especially with her attitude ... but I pray she will see the error of her ways and apologize to you (though I'm sure HER lawyer has forbid that!) ... and that forgiveness will come! A grudge does no one any good. And I will continue to pray for a SPEEEEEDY recovery ... I want you to ENJOY that grandbaby IMMENSELY!
Daisy! OMGracious!
You've got to stop wearing that giant target around town. (Sorry... I couldn't help it.)
So your choice is pain and food or no pain and no food. Hmmm... It's a weight-loss plan. Look at the positive... You'll lose weight and feel no pain.
I'm glad you are okay. Sign nothing. Oh -- Bring those crutches with you to the court date.
