Just to put it in perspective, I'll tell you how lucky you are. We got
a call this morning that my daughter's fiance was in a car accident with
her car (93 Altima). At 3:00 this morning a 21 year old driving an 03
Dodge pickup swerved across the yellow line and hit him. Didn't hit
head-on, more like right behind the bumper and "scooped" into the
drivers side of the car. He has 2 broken legs (one a compound fracture,
meaning that the bone was sticking out), head trauma, various severe
cuts, and they had to amputate what was left of his left arm. They cut
the roof off of the car to get him out and airlifted him to the
hospital. He spent the whole day in surgery and is now in an induced
coma and in critical condition. I'm just thanking God that she wasn't
in the car because she's having his baby in 2 weeks. So I guess yours
COULD have been worse...
