Sheila in serious car crash this a.m.

You never know how quick your life can be over.
Today we thank God that we insisted on buying our new car with side air bags. They say, that is what saved her life.
Sheila left for work this morning and was making a left turn through a green light when a car came speeding down the road and hit right into her door sending her car spinning 360 degrees. The side airbag deployed. A policeman just happened to be right there and saw the whole thing. The other driver was speeding and never hit his brakes.
They had to cut my sweetheart out of the car and take her by ambulance to the hospital.
They contacted my parents and I as we are her emergency contacts.
She has a bump on her head and a large bruise on her face and head, her wrist is injured but to swollen to know if it is broken just yet. She could not move her legs this morning but has since been able to move them and is now walking. After spending the whole day at the hospital they have decided to let her come home. She will have to go to her doctor. Her new car is totaled they think. Thank God for insurance. When she is able to go back to work she will get a rental or loaner car.
I am feeling so bad for her. She is always so strong. She could have been gone in an instant. I might have lost her forever...
This has made me think. I could not lose her. Not yet, not ever....

Hi and thank you for the kind post alisha.
I am still worried because she has a bad headache and cannot walk so good.
We are going to the doctor tomorrow. They did alot of x-rays on her at the hospital.
She was hit very hard. The guy never hit his breaks and was flying of the freway exit ramp.
I am feeling so bad for her. Hernew car that I bought for her is totaled but I am sooo glad I got the side air bags or she might not be here.

Hi Sandra. I gave Sheila that hug from you and many more gental hugs as she is so hurting right now.
I am taking very good care of her.
She has good mads.
Reality has set in about losing her. I would have died. My heart sank and rolled over when I got the news. And the blood drained from my head. I just felt sick.
Her new car is totaled. I talked to my Dad and he assured us he would make sure she gets at least the equivalent of her new car. He will take care of that matter.
He helped me buy this one for her birthday in August. She was bummed about her car. She loved it so much. We will be sure to get another one with all the airbags. I am now sold on them. The officer on the scene said it saved her life. That and her seatbelt.
She is here with me now and I am thanking God.
I worry about her back and legs.
Thank you from Sheila for the hug.

Awwwww thank you for the well wishes!
I cannot help worrying about her right now. She is having trouble walking. We hope it is temporary since she could not even move her legs in the hospital this morning.
We will see what the doctor has to say tomorrow.

Laurie,

Sending tremendous prayer your way and Sheila's way. Oh my God Girl! My heart sank when I read that post! All kinds of thoughts went through my head. I was afraid to read it and the relief that she was okay made me dizzy. Laurie, I am very blunt and to the point most times and I have come to think of you as a friend here on this board. Sheila had her guardian angel with her this morning. And my friend, this seems like a sign. God didn't take her from you today. Sheila is not done here on this earth and obviously your heart knows it is not done with her. I hope this is something that will strengthen the relationship you have as I know you love her. I hope you two can work it out. I truly do. Thank God she was okay and thank God for airbags and seatbelts. I hope as Lee said everything will be okay and she'll recover quickly physically and mentally. Please let Sheila know she is in my thoughts and prayers. And so are you Laurie. I'm so glad she is okay!

Hugs to you both,

L.
