IF DIALYSIS WAS NOT ENOUGH, I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT!

My husband was taking me to the social security office on Wednesday (Jan 30, 2013) morning because they changed my dialysis to after lunch.

When on dialysis, you have to apply for Medicare which becomes your secondary for 30 months then primary.

I never had time to go so decided the opening of the morning was a GOOD OPPORTUNITY.

We started hydroplaning and the truck circled around, mind you we were traveling in pack and we hit no one and no one hit us.

We feel so blessed that God spared our lives.  The truck hit the guard rail and flipped twice and landed on the roof of the truck.

All the glass in the windows on the side were blown out.

I was thrown into the front glass:  cut my head.  The left side of head and face was swollen and I had a black eye for five days.

The seat belt did a number on me:  bruised my left hip and left ribs and across my abdomen.

I was hanging upside down in the seat.  I released the seat belt and was squatting on the roof of the truck. 

I was so weak.  My husband was pinned in the truck under the stirring wheel.  But he remained calm to tell the people (lots of angels came to our rescue - GLORY!) that I just started dialysis and was not strong enough to climb out of the truck.  Several me open my door (till this day I don't know how they dragged that door through the side of that muddy hill) all I saw was hands and feet getting me out of that truck.  I am so grateful because the window was squashed.  I could not have gotten my full figure through that access.  One lady held my scarf on my head to help put pressure on the bleeding.  One lady put a blanket on my back because it was really raining.  I could see no one's face, just hands and feet helping us.  I could hear my husband moaning every time the firemen moved him.  One tall fireman was on his knees talking to and helping Irvin.  I was so grateful that he put himself in that truck close to Irvin.  They had to cut him out of the truck.  He is much better and is at Health South for rehab. 

All for now.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR PRAYERS.

NOTHING BUT ANGELS ARE SURROUNDING US!
