I'm sorry to say that I will be out of commission for a few days. I had a little accident on Saturday. I was walking out of a store Saturday, (after spending a few hours earlier with my son's Reconciliation ceremony and lunch - it was wonderful), and got hit with a SUV. Yes, I said I was a pedestrian and got hit! I am only 5'1" so why it had to be an SUV I don't know.
Had a fun ambulance ride to the ER...spent the rest of my Saturday there...Went to my doctor today. I have knee, neck, and hip trauma (swelling, pain,etc) and a broken wrist. The doctor wants me to take a week off of work (doesn't he understand us teachers?????). I took today and tomorrow, but will have to see about the rest of the week. I have parent/teacher conferences Monday and Tuesday next week that I need to prepare for, so we'll see! I can't even drive...AHHHHHH!
Needless to say...I will be out of commission for a little bit. But thank goodness...it could have been so much worse. And thank God my 7 year old wasn't with me!
Here's a song we've been singing in my house instead of Grandma got run over by a reindeer we've got - "Mommy got runover by a Lexus, walking out of Hallmark Saturday..."
Oh my gosh Tracey! I can't believe that! Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Oh my goodness, I'm so glad you're okay! A teacher I work with got hit last year by a hit-and-run driver and had to have her hip replaced. :( I hope the person who hit you has taken responsibility. I'm so glad you can find a little humor in it and have created a new family Christmas song in the process! :) Hope you're feeling better soon!

Thanks Shelly!
DeleteWow! I hope that you are back to your normal self soon. I was once hit by a man on a bicycle outside of a Walmart, luckily I wasn't injured (a stopped car broke my fall), but I can now say that I was a victim of a hit and run. :)

DeleteSo sorry to hear about your accident, but I have to say- I giggled at your song :) I'm glad your family is already laughing about it. That IS the best medicine, after all.
ReplyDeleteIt's true- doctors don't understand the pain of sub plans! :) Feel better soon!
