bad car accident

**davidpizzica** · 02-06-2007, 06:41 PM

Last sunday afternoon I was involved in a bad traffic accident. I was going through the intersection on green and a guy decided to run the red light! He crashed into my driver's side front door and basically pushed in the side of my cobalt in. I just came back from the hospital where I was treated for three broken ribs. I think my guardian angel was working overtime to keep me from further injury. The cobalt was totalled and I have to go car shopping again! I'm getting a rental car when I can drive again (I can't drive now because of my ribs). The other driver is okay and there was hardly any damage to his Acura.

Gosh, what was that idiot thinking?

I'm glad that you're ok, David, but that must have been pretty scary! 3 broken ribs? Ouch! I hope you're feeling ok!

**hugs**

He wasn"t thinking at all! He tried to beat the light! My ribs are still pretty painful, but the doctor was more concerned about mt partially collapsed lung. The lung is all right now.

EEK! I'm so glad you're okay David.

Oh no. I'm glad you weren't seriously injured. Did you have side air bags? If not, you may want to consider them when you purchase your next car. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Oh My David! I am so sorry to hear you were hurt, but so glad it is nothing major! (not that ribs aren't but they aren't life threatening)

How are you feeling now? Any better?

That sounds like one scary experience.

I am glad you weren't more
seriously injured. Hope you get healed up soon.

My ribs really hurt when I take a sharp breath and I have to watch how I breathe, but I'm doing better now.

Thank goodness you were not more badly injured. You will be in our prayers, as busted ribs are a painful and slow healing process. Thank goodness it's the "off" season for lawn-mowing at the club, eh?
