Very rough weekend Posted by Pam T on 5/21/2012, 12:38 pm 67.161.249.X My husband Andy was hit by a 19 year old girl that was texting while driving. He was at a red light with 2 cars in front of him. She plowed in to him at over 50 MPH and never hit the brakes. No one was killed, she only had a hangnail, but Andy was hurt. He has a torn muscle in his back and a couple of deep gashes on his shin and his elbow. His back and neck are badly sprained. That's all we know so far. He is in a lot of pain and is struggling with what can only be called post traumatic stress. He just got back from the tow lot to see his car. He came back shaking like a leaf. All 4 cars were totaled. This was his baby that he had taken meticulous care of since he bought it. There is no way he will get a replacement value that will cover what he had in it. This has been so hard, but he is alive. When I got the call from someone at the scene I thought he was dead. I have never felt so terrified.

I rarely go anywhere without seeing young girls texting while driving. Andy has been going through a lot dealing with all this. He is getting physical therapy 3 times a week and is in pain. His nerves are shot too.

Re: Very rough weekend Posted by Suzie-Q on 5/21/2012, 6:48 pm, in reply to "Very rough weekend" 71.246.29.X I am so sorry to hear you have something so serious to deal with. I saw the title and thought it was something as simple as a food temptation. Great news he will be ok, everything else will fall into place. This is a traumatic event and you both must be in shock. I will keep you in my thoughts, Suzie.

Thanks everyone Posted by Pam T on 5/22/2012, 2:21 pm, in reply to "Re: Very rough weekend" 67.161.249.X It has been a very trying time for us. Andy is going in for a CT and an MRI on Thursday. He is having some neurological issues they want to look in to. We appreciate you prayers and positive energy.

So Sorry! Posted by Susie on 5/24/2012, 8:37 pm, in reply to "Thanks everyone" 76.27.79.X Pam, I just got on the board and saw this thread! My heart goes out to you and your husband! I know what you mean about being so frightened. I hope the tests are successful and they are able to help him back to health. ((hugs))
