Life changing accident
On August 19 2022 I was coming back home from a Tai Chi class. Something that I thought would be beneficial for me since I just sold my business in February and was trying to do things that I always seemed to put off. Was driving my little Mazda Miata that I only used in the summer when it was nice out. Top down and heading home. Five minutes from the house when I was broadsided by an SUV. I remember seeing the vehicle coming towards me. I remember a man standing over me and calming me. He was a doctor. I remember bits and pieces. I was hit so hard that my car flew across the way into a gas station. Rushed to the hospital with a torn spleen, fractured ribs, fractured shoulder, glass in my shoulder. I spent four days in the hospital and was sent home only to return the following week by ambulance again to have my spleen removed. Apparently the spleen was not healing itself and leaked the whole time I was home. Six more days in hospital. I went home and two days later had to put my 16 year old dog down. A month before I lost one of my other dogs. A 15 year old pug. I am blessed to have friends and family who were around to help my physical healing. I am still healing emotionally. Driving is tricky for me. I finally started to drive 10 days ago to take my last dog to the vet. She is in kidney failure. I actually look at everything that has happened to me as a blessing. I survived a horrible accident twice. I am still here to tell my story. I have peace inside. I know that this could have been far worse but I feel that God has kept me here for a reason. I know that God has much bigger plans for me than I could ever imagine. Thanks for reading this and thank you all for sharing your stories. This is exactly where I am supposed to be.
