Had a text from a son in law this morning.
Oldest daughter was hit by a truck yesterday (she was walking to her car in a crosswalk) and is thankfully okay but very bruised with two broken wrists. She's going to have a tough recovery but is in great spirits and is home. We appreciate all the kind thoughts and prayers as she will need them throughout her recovery.
Dh was getting in the shower when the text came in...read enough to tell me to read it! So I did, then called, EXPECTING to talk to my MIL. Actually talked to daughter. She was in a good mood considering she had two casts from the middle of her fingers to up above her elbows. (They just got her in casts in the ER). She was going to get into an ortho to get the casts redone and hopefully free up her elbows at least.
She sent an email (HOW, I don't know) to her boss...she works IT at the hospital where she ended up in the ER. Then she was able to get a cell signal, called him and told him, "Read Email ASAP, bye". He was still there so he came down to the ER to give her moral support. Altho at one point, he said..."you do know you have a hole in your pants at your butt". She said, GEE THANKS!!
Personal hygiene is going to be a real issue for her for awhile. And I really hope she has taught her dh how to change her insulin pump cannella (she's a type 1 on a pump). Cause she's not gonna have the ability to do it herself for about 6 weeks.
We are just lucky she is alive. Driver said he just didn't see her.
