I'm w/ya, Donna. The same thing happened to me 3 weeks ago. I was in a construction site and there was barely room to turn the corner. When I did, I hit the curb and blew my tire instantly and knocked my car out of alignment. Fortunately, I had a full size tire as a spare. All of this transpired while Puddy was at her sickest and I couldn't get in to get a new spare tire for a couple of days. I was scared to death that I'd have to rush her to the vet and I'd get a flat on the way w/no spare but that never happened. You're smart, though, to stay put until you can get another tire. These things can knock the wind out of us if we let them. You're definitely in my prayers, girlfriend. Keep the faythe.
