My son had a bad biking accident on the weekend. We just took his training wheels off and he was riding on his own. He was going too fast and I was yelling for him to slow down when he hit a rock and went over his handlbars. It was a mess. He lost his front teeth and had to get stitches in his chin. He has cuts and bruises all over his body. It was awful. Luckily, he was wearing a helmut.
When I was in the Emergency room with him I thought about how it would have been if I was drinking. The accident very likely would have happened the same way, but I can imagine myself drunk and smelling of booze while I explained everything to the nurses and doctors. I know I am a good Mom and I am a good person and I would have felt like a total loser who could not take care of my son. I am sure they would have been skeptical about the fall too. Saturday afternoon a few years ago I could easily have had a few drinks in me. I am so glad I am sober.
My son is doing fine and enjoying the unlimited time on his PS2.
