OT: Life is precious

Everyday, we rush around our jobs, our lives, lists of errands, driving wile running mental lists through our heads. Last thursday, as I was doing the same, I took a left turn and was T-boned by a heavier SUV which flipped me over. I can't say that my life flashed in frotn of me but I can say that I was not ready to die yet. I haven't been in a car since being back from the hospital and right now, honestly, it makes me cringe just thinking about getting behind the wheel.

I just wanted to say life is precious. We don't take enough time to tell people we love them or thank them for their support or just enjoy their presence in our lives.

Thank you everyone here who's listened to me and read my venting and I want you to know that it means more than I probably have ever said.

Hi Sylvie. I am sorry to hear about your accident. I haveto agree with you. We alway seem to make everything so much more crucial than it really is. I hope that each day that passes make things a little easier for you.

I know that I am trying to change the whole rushing thing in myself. I hope that others will do the same.

Take care and take your time to get back to what you were doing before.

Whom ever said that people who have WLS are taking the easy way out, have never had this experience. This is a journey and a major challenge. Step by step I am striving to make it as a loser!!

Thanks Mercedes! I have to remind myself again and again that none of those errands would have been worth losing lie over.

We'd been thinking of getting a Toyota Prius and turning in the Element because of the really low mileage. So, we'll look at some cars next week.
