"Or Else" - the 30M2D writing challenge topic and link to the other or elsers.
I had a totally different fun-filled post queued up for today - a baby doll mugshot and Friday's Frock, a couple of jokes thrown in and a link to Nicky's vlog where she spoke French and her adorable son did the usual things boys do in the background while mom is trying to talk ~
But the "or else" happened to me today - I was in a car accident. Not just a "oops, sorry I scratched your bumper" kind of accident, this was a Tami driving to work on a sunny Sacramento morning and another person, we suspect talking on a cell phone while driving kind of person, ran a red a red light, T-boned my car and landed me in the hospital.
It was a morning filled with:
We should transport you with a collar and on a board in the ambulance (or else) ~
We better take x-rays (or else) ~
Why don't we take a few samples (or else)?
We better go and get the items out of the car being stored in the tow yard in Del Paso Heights (or else).
X-rays showed the ribs on my left side are cracked. Doctor said, "We really can't treat that condition, and if you bind the area, you could develop pneumonia, or something else ..."
I know those two words all too well today.
Oh my. So sorry to hear about this. Hope you are on the mend and feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteTami, I'm so sorry. I came within 3 feet of being t-boned myself about two days ago, and it was frightening. That you're able to think straight, let alone post, says a lot about how strong you are. I hope you have a swift recovery, but I suspect the next few weeks will be tough.
ReplyDeleteI'll take it as an encouraging sign that you're at least well enough to blog about the experience. Please let us know how you're doing when you're able to. We all wish you the best.
ReplyDeleteOh no, I'm so sorry, Tami! That must have been an incredibly frightening experience. I'm so glad your ribs were the only casualties, even though that'll hurt like hell for a while. And hey, way to go to get a post up after something like that!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for the well wishes - I am on the mend, just sore.
ReplyDeleteThat was a nasty way to start a sunny day! Hope you are feeling a little better and will have wheels under you again soon! Take good care, and REST!
ReplyDeleteHey Tami, feel better, I'm glad you've nothing but a cracked rib or two to contend with. Indigo x
ReplyDeleteDefinitely not the kind of "or else" we want to hear about! Hope those ribs heal well and soon!
