Yesterday, while driving on the high-way,
a car from the opposite side of the
high-way got clipped by another car. This
caused the car to fly through the air into
my lane, heading in the opposite direction
of the high-way heading STRAIGHT for me.
If my reactions were 1 second slower, I
would be dead...
One of the ladies in the car had serious
head/face trauma and the other had both
her legs broken.
A gentleman in a Ford-Bantam was not so
lucky...he died on impact when the other
car came flying into our side of the
high-way...
Although, physically I am fine, my car is
a wreck...I had to dodge onto the shoulder
which had branches strewn all over it from
the bushes that marks the center of the
high-way having been recently trimmed. My
car eventually stopped two or three meters
from the main accident as it slid on the
grass while I was trying to maintain
control. Radiator, front bumper, air-con,
under carriage-protection plate is all
ripped to shreds...not to mention the
right side being scratched to hell and
gone...
To top it all off, this morning on the way
to the cardiologist, while driving my
mom's car...another &*@(*@!$ drove into
me...(Absolutely not my fault...he
impacted on my side as he was moving out
of a parking spot and didn't even have his
indicator on).
And when I thaught things could not
POSSIBLY get ANY worste...
The cardiologist confirmed the Marfan's
Dx...
I have mitril-valve prolapse, mitril-valve
regurgetation and risk of aortic
dissection.
The major problem right now...is that
NOTHING seems to be sinking in...it's like
I am totally "anaware" and/or in denial...
I have no Idea what to expect right now...

Oh my gosh, I am SO sorry that you went
through all of that. That is incredibly
scary and such a close call. *HUGE HUGS*
I'm glad that you are okay. I can't even
begin to imagine how you must be feeling
after such a crazy few days. It may not
be sinking in yet, but if anything does
start to sink in, and even when its not
sinking in, I'm here for you (you can
always PM me too if you want). I hope
things start to look up for you. That
sounds so crazy.

Does she know all that went on yet, or is
she going to be hearing it for the first
time when you go in on Saturday? Good
luck with your appointment. I bet it'll
help to be able to talk it out with
someone. Sorry again about all thats
going on for you; you don't seem to be
getting any breaks
