was on my way home from work and totaled my car. The 2002 silver chevy camaro z28 that i love is a total loss. It just wasn't my day- my lane was ending, so i was trying to merge over, but traffic was backed up because of a wreck about 0.25 to 0.5 miles ahead, and then - SWERVE BRAKE SMASH then...? both airbags deployed, etc. Thank God I was wearing my seatbelt, I sit far away from the steering wheel, keep my left (bad) arm on a pillow, but almost on top of my leg. Also, the seats in the car were sized right for me, and didn't allow much body movement. got to go the ER, no concussions or broken bones thankfully. I'm startgng to feel less sore/stiff from the wreck. The more i look at those pics, the more i realize what a miracle it is that i'm not really hurt.

totally unrelated, i went to the doc the 2nd week of march because i was in some hellacious flareup. everything hurt, and my the muscles on top of the forearm that help raise your hand were so tight that i had a hard time keeping a pen on paper to write. so, in addition to scalenes, traps, and back, we injected my forearm w/ botox. so far, so good.
anyways, here's what the 2002 Z28 looks like now:

i REMEMBER WHEN I BABYSAT my great grandmother and for the life of her she couldnt empty her bladder. she apologized to much to me, and I just said, Mama, no, don't feel bad, you've done so much for me growing up this is the least I can do for you. We'll just keep trying, ok?

Caring for a terminal cancer patient is as if you are a helium baloon that is slowly deflating. My mother in law, when I happened to see her at the final service for my day, had actually gone down to 87 lbs.

God never promised life on Earth to be perfect, as this world has free choice with the devil. But Heaven, I pray, and I am told to believe, is where I will be reunited with my loved ones in some manner, and there is only love.

My illness had definitely caused me to question my beliefs, but, in the end, I still talk to God about 99 percent of the time...so I must believe if I'm having this ongoing conversation with God, huh? haha.


Tied, I am so sorry for all that your family is going through.

Dabbo, the "last car" we purchased and knew we could - a new Lexus one - a lady rear-ended it and shmashed the car into an accordion.

Fiance was LIVID. But I said, at least no people or animals were hurt, and we still have the old Lexus SUV.

Sometimes our best-laid plans...

I don't take bad luck or crisis as well as I did when I was well. In 2002, (and before, while I was well) I was SO strong and fearless. I thought I could make ANYTHING happen, if I just took the right path and fought hard. I viewed work almost like slashing through a jungle, and I was the HERO.

Strange how things have changed.

Got my taxes filed today. Took advantage of the fee tax help the AARP offers to disabled persons. I feel much better now
