Hit by Car

I got hit by a car today. True story. I was crossing the street with the Kids - at a green light mind you - and next thing I know I got whacked by a car. It was utterly surreal. I managed to avoid major damage except for my foot and ankle. I don't think it is broken but it really hurts and I am worried about ligament damage. Somehow my pants got completely scuffed up as you might be able to see from the pictures. Not sure how that happened, exactly. It all happened so quickly.

Even if my foot is damaged I am so grateful it was me and not the kids. No exaggeration; two inches more and I think we'd all be seriously injured.

So glad your ok, and the kids too! Keep ice on it and take some Tylenol tonight. See a doctor just to make sure all is well....

pops, we are all concerned, just have different ways of showing. for instance, I faxed HS a consolation card and also replied with celerity via an internet web site called twitter.

to argue for your point, though, tragedies are when you find out who really cares about you, and usually, that is only your family. and so thank god for family.

happy holidays.
