I'm okay, except for a maybe sprained ankle, my neighbor is okay and the other guy is okay.


The bad news, if you haven't guessed is, on the way to the theater in Milwaukee, I was in an accident. My fault, I hit the other guy. Thankfully his car is fine (really, amazingly minor damage!) and my car fared worse - the hood is kinked and the grill is smashed, but it was driveable.


I feel so stupid! And I feel so bad about my car! I love that car! I only hope my ankle is only sprained (I think I sprained it hitting the brake!). If it keeps hurting, or hurts worse tomorrow, I'll go see a doctor.

Yes, the cop was really very nice and acknowledged that it was heavy traffic that had recently been slow - almost stopped at one point - and my driving record is "exemplary", but still, I must have been too close, or wasn't paying attention (I admit, I was looking to see an opening in the next lane, because I had to be there) and etc., so he had to give me a ticket.

Oh, that's a shame. I'm sorry you were so banged up! It makes my accident sound very minor!


I'm sure

I can walk on it okay, just not flex it too well - or spread my toes, lol. I'll see how it feels on Monday and if I'm still achy or the ankle looks or feels worse, I'll go in and get checked out.

((((ANN))))

You should not feel stupid, accidents happen and that is why they are called accidents. Nobody is perfect and who knows how many times the other driver has smooshed someone.

As long as everybody is alright. Cars are fixable, bodies, not so much.

It was just the one neighbor and I going to the play, not the whole group. We didn't make it to the theater. By the time we were done with the police we would have been late anyway and after everything that had happened, I just wanted to go home.
