Walking Again...


I had an accident Wednesday morning, the 26th.  I was running back into the house to get a sweater.  I thought I had put the car in park, and left it running.  Actually, I had only put it in reverse, but did not realize it until I had gotten out of the car and saw the car rolling back.  I tried to get back in it to stop it, but it was in gear, so it was going pretty fast.  I could not move fast enough to put on the brake.  I got halfway in, but it continued to move, so it knocked me under the car.  The front wheel rolled over both my feet.  I let the car go.  It hit the hill on the other side of the road.  I realized that if I left the car in the middle of the road, another car might hit it.  So, on injured feet, I jumped up and ran over, got in the car and drove it back in the driveway.  I then got out and called my neighbor to help.  She took me to the ER. 

I have no broken bones, but some scrapes and bruises and a lot of pain.  I have been resting at home ever since.  A friend came to stay with me for a few days right after the accident.  

In the Hospital ER
At Home a Day later - too many cuts and bruises
About 4 days after the accident



I am healing well, and even walking now.  I am so thankful it was not any worse.
