Red face ~Another Car Accident for Joey! :(

Hi Everyone!

This year will just never end! Next year HAS to be better since this is my worst one ever!

Today, Joey was out doing an errand and a woman who couldn't speak English suddenly pulled her car out into traffic without a blinker and Joey couldn't stop (we think he skidded on wet leaves!) He smashed our new (used) car into her, and the airbag went off and smashed his face, and because of the powder and the 'burning' smell, he thought the car was on fire and dove out the door!

Anyway, he seems to be in pretty good condition, but I forced him to go to our Drs. and get a neck X-ray, and to also mention his back, his wrists, and his right foot twisting as it slammed on the brake and the force of impact.....just in case we have a legal case.....

This is the new (used) car that we JUST scraped the cash together for two months ago after he totalled our last old car! Now we're really up the creek because we'll lose all that money....they'll never give us what we paid, and we really won't be able to afford another car now, unless we buy a real clunker with just what they give us.....we'll both still be paying off the loans for this one for the next two years!

Besides, I know when we get a check for whatever they offer us, say $2000, we won't be able to help but want to cash it for all of our bills and Christmas and whatever since Joey's out of work now on STD!!

Aaaaarrrrgghh....I know all these challenges are being given to me for SOME reason for me to learn....I'm just so sick of 2003....it all started with me losing our little Baby-to-be at 10wks....but I think it may have been because of this whole challenge that was coming....how would we have ever managed it? Then it's just been one thing after another.......

Anyway, I just thought I'd let you know...hopefully this accident will not make his RSD explode throughout his whole body!

Talk again soon,
~Ange~

Hi Ange,

I cannot tell you how very sorry I am for all you have been going though. I can't believe all of this. It's so much to deal with. I'm also very sorry that you lost your "baby-to-be." I, along with you, hope that 2004 will bring you some much needed respite. You have a great attitude that will help you get through. I hope Joey is doing okay after this.

Sharon

Cheeeerist Ange!

How do you keep your mental status in check my friend!

I do not know how come I dont see you on the news standing on your roof, with one red and white striped sock on one leg, one green sock on the other, slipped into staletto pumps, with your hair in one pony tail on one side and a funny little braid on the other, a pair of bright orange dolphin shorts from the 80's on, a tube top, humming christmas jingles, holding an umbrella, on a misty day, smiling ear to ear and preparing to jump and float down, after you called the media to announce to the world "I GIVE UP!" and it would FINALLY be obvious you've lost your mind!

Oh, you'd be justified!

OY!!!!

(just me and my imagination getting a bit carried away on your behalf! ahhhh... it'll get better hun! The only way IS up from here! HUGS! Leanne
