Not everything ends badly, but it's hard not to play the 'what if' game

[varadia]

Mom was in a car accident tonight, on the way home from her friend's house.

She's okay, just really freaked out. Some lady, who was lost, ran a stop sign and smashed into the rear of my mom's car, spinning her around in a 180.

Mom thought she was going to die. She was a mess when she called us, but she's better now. I have made her sit down with tea and a heating patch on her neck (she has had serious neck problems in the past and I bet she got some kind of neck muscle stress during the whole thing), but.

I still worry.

But it could have been really bad. So.

*breathes*

I just wanted to share.

*clings* It's very, very good that your mom made it out OK.

Oh, I've had that happen. I thought for sure I was going to die too.

...and then I got out of my '84 Celica, realized it's steel body was barely dinged, and the little fiberglass cars were smashed to shit, and I was fine.



Still, a lot of what-ifs got asked, and my boyfriend nearly died upon hearing it.

Oh, man. *hugs TIGHT* I'm so glad she's okay, Lynne.

Oh, honey. *Hugs*

Even if everyone's totally fine, that's always a shock. I'm really glad she's all right.

I'm so glad she's just shaken, and not worse. Still, oh damn, that is never a good call to get.

Thanks for sharing, lovely. Glad to hear she's okay.

It's a bugger that anything had to happen to her, but yes, excellent that it wasn't all the things you're imagining (and very understandable that you do think of the alternate scenarios...)

But it sounds like you're taking great care of her, which I'm sure she's thankful for too.

. . . oh hell.

*hugs a whole lot* I'm so glad she's okay, Lynne.

Oh no! I'm really glad she's okay!

That sounds awful, but I'm glad she's okay and it's great she has someone taking care of her./hugs/

As someone whose dad has been in several car accidents (one fairly nasty), I know how you feel. And I am really glad that your mum is okay.

[innie_darling]

I'm glad she's already doing better.

*hugs tight* I am very glad that she's not hurt, and proud that you're taking good care of her.

[lunamystic]

Eeeep. That's always scary. I'm so glad she's okay. *hugs lots*

I know we haven't gotten a chance to really chat or anything yet, but I hope everything is okay! :( That stuff can be stressful as hell.

[the_croupier]

Ouch. Very glad she's ok!

[silveraspen]

Oh, honey. *hugs and tea and chocolate and all good things, stat*

I'm so sorry that she had such an awful experience, and that you all had such a scare, and I'm really glad she's okay.

Let me know if there's anything I can do. I have the phone with me.

<333.

[vivien]

Oh no! That is so scary.

I'm glad she's okay, if shaken and stirred. I know you're a little shaken up, too.

((((HUGS))))

[varadia]

Yeeeeah. Steel body = best ever.

Because. Yeah.

Thanks. Me too.

I know. I almost dropped the phone. It was like OMGWHUT.

And she was so worried about the CAR, and I was like ARE YOU HURT.
