Just So You Know, I wrecked my car today (Monday)
I hydroplanned coming down out of the mountains, spun around and hit another car and then hit the median spun around and hit it again. When finally stopped was turned around and facing ongoing traffic....No one was hurt, Thank God. I am still shaken up and sore. Stayed home from work. Times like this I feel so all alone

Rainy days and Mondays always get me down

sigh

11. I spun my truck just like that once
Hydroplaned, fishtailed, overcorrected and wound up in the median, perpendicular to the freeway.

I didn't hit anything and there was no damage (except for some seriously muddy boots), but it still shook me up pretty good. I can only imagine how you feel. :hug:

You may find yourself spooked at the prospect of driving again. From experience, lemme tell ya you gotta get right back on that hor... uh, in the car.

Take care of you. And holler if you need help. :hug: :hug: :hug:

15. yes, I ws scared to drive but, I had no choice. It happened out
of town. I had spent the weekend with firends in the mtns and was on my way home. Had to get a rental car and get home. I was frazzled and tired...went straight to bed, just now starting to feel "normal"

Across the continent is a long way to holler...I hope you have good ears:)

8. very sore from the shoulder harness of the seat belt, neck is
sore and for some reason the left side of my face feels like I got slapped. Other than that I am fine, really. Very surreal feeling. It all happened SO fast. Thanks, for being here.

12. Oh, hon...
Just take it easy for the next few days, okay? Lots of rest and pampering.

And ice cream. Ice cream ALWAYS helps.

6. Sweetie, I'm glad you are okay!
Sorry about the car, but the most important thing is that you weren't hurt beyond some soreness. :hug:

10. oh yes, and thanks goodness the lady in the other car was
fine, too. Although both cars are probably totalled. They can be replaced. Just have to give the insurance companies time to do their thing...
:hug:

thanks SG for being here.

14. Any time.
Been in a few wrecks myself; I know what it's like. Best outcome is little or no hurt to the people involved. :hug:

13. yes, that is the main thing...we both had our seat belts and
the air bags did NOT inflate. It looked bad but, could have been so much worse. Thanks for being here. :hug:
