recovering from accident
Permalink  
 

Hi

It has been awile since I posted.  I was in an accident and have not been on the PC lots.  I have the neverending headache made worse by things like reading, tv, computer ... Whenever it does hurt I say a prayer of thanks because it means I am alive to hurt.

I am grateful for the accident (woman ran a yeild) because it has given me the missing link I needed for my sobriety.  I spent about 20 mins trapped in the jeep, upside down, although I did not know the extent of the damage I did know I was being cared for by a power greater than myself.

I tried to upload a pic, not sure if it worked or not.

Grateful to be here and to be posting again

Wow the roof caved in everywhere except the driver's side. It's good to have angels. I like the bumper sticker "Don't drive faster than your angels can fly"

Actually as you can see in the photos there was 1 place my head could have been and not been hurt. That was tucked up between the steering wheel and the windshield, I normally don't drive in that position lol.  I truely did know there was a God and He cared about me because as the police said on the news "its a miracle she is alive".

After the lady ran the yeild it sent me into a light pole, knocking it down and then the jeep rolled a couple of times and settled in on its roof.

On a light side I had no idea of the extent of the damage and when I heard someone say the air bags had deployed (they meant in the other vehicle) I thought " Oh No that will cost so much to have fixed"

At any rate it was the best gratitude high I have been on. I felt like I could leap tall buildings all weekend (happened on a friday)  and now that reality has kicked in and I hurt instead of giving in to the pain I just say " I am grateful" and it really does help the positive thinking, no it does not get rid of the pain but the mental effect is good.

HP needs you here for now.  Good to be alive to feel grateful and aware.  I've had the "being cared for" experience myself after a motorcycle accident.  Learned a ton in a few short hours...like HP gives good guidance when I have no control at all.    Hmmmmm  ((((hugs))))smile

I'm sorry to hear about your accident, Donna. It just goes to show how dangerous driving can be. It is amazing though, isn't it? How miracles unfold through the workings of our "HP", I mean. It's only through incidents like these that our appreciation for life intensifies. You survived to live another day dear, and for that we're grateful. I hope those feelings continue for you Donna, far beyond this one horrific moment.

~God bless~
