Patience OMG, I am still trying to figure this blog thing out. How exciting to find others out there , Sirian Gian suggested that I do this and I am glad I did but for me patience is deffinately the word of the process here. I am not a computer person by nature so if it looks goofy have a good laugh on me. :-) There is a saying that started who knows when but it goes like this, BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR! ah the truth be known, my journey began with this. On August 1 2007, i was driving home from work having my usual conversations with God about my day and was very frustrated that I was moving to far off my spiritual path into the corporate world and during my conversation I specifically said God I can"t do this anymore I am getting to far from me and low and behold BAM! I was rear ended at a red light (you know the things you sre SUPPOSED to stop at), where did this person come from , I was the only one on the road, I did not even realize that I had been hit, all I heard was this loud bang , it sounded like a bomb went off, and the next thing I knew this guy was screaming at ME, through something at me and left. I was stunned. schocked etc... it felt liker my head exploded and all at once the pain ,numbness, paralysis, began it was instant but the only thing my mind could comprehend was that there was no blood, so of course when I called the police and they asked if I needed an ambulance after describing my symptoms to dispatch I said no because no blood=no ambulance. How foolish is that! That my friends was the bigest mistake I could have ever made, I had to wait for 2.5 hours for the police to show up even though they drove past me 3 times,one of their own was hurt, so I didn't matter, and now th juorney begins. Finally they show and I was 2 miles from my home and I was hurting so bad all I wanted to do was go home, so the police refused to write a police report and off I went. So much for justice there. Got there barely able to move or even think cleart at all, really as I look back on it I wasn't even sure where I was or who I was what a blur. Day 2 begins with I must see my doctor my head is exploding and I am spinning so far and nasueas and by the way I cannot feel my arms and my back is a mess and my right face is paralyzed. HOLY SMOKES so this is what feeling like you just got hit by a mac truck feels like. AND THE JUORNEY BEGINS...........

  1. Good Lord, Dear! You had the biggest whammy ever! I am so surprised that neither the police nor 911 knew what to look for.

    Well, now I know. If I am ever in a car accident, I ask for an ambulance first thing! Thanks for the tip.

    I can't imagine the pain and disorientation. But I am looking forward to finding out what God had in store for you next!

    Lots of Love,
    Siri-Gian

  2. I'm glad you were able to remain clear headed long enough to contact the police even though it took them so long to respond.
    I hope you are doing okay now. I am betting that the last two years you have spent in recovery have been difficult at times.
    I can only comment from the perspective of a caregiver. Physically Elizabeth appears to be fine but she isn't and people have unreasonable expectations about her abilities.
    People say insensitive things to us about how we are caring for her, not doing this right, you should do this, and they don't live it daily and dont understand. I wish you well.
