Without even thinking, I called my landlord, my kids and Tim on the way to the hospital. My chest, shoulder and head hurt so bad ~ I really couldn't think. Remembering my own phone number was a challenge. I didn't know how bad things were and I didn't know if they wanted to know or not, but....by the time I was at the ER my son had arrived and both daughters shortly after. Considering the distances they had to travel, I was concerned at how fast they must have drove! Or, my head was so out of it, I didn't know how much time had passed. They kept asking me at the scene if I had been knocked out, and I didn't know for sure.
Having never gone through so much, it was all very traumatic for me. My kids will probably never realize just how much it meant to me, just to have them there.
My landlord came to the accident, spoke to the officer and made the arrangements for my truck. They took care of my animals while I was in the hospital and helped me out with so many things when I first came home.
My kids and grandkids stepped up and did so many things that we take for granted everyday. Things I couldn't do all of a sudden. My granddaughter even had her boyfriend involved taking care of the horse.
I'm not a soft and fuzzy person, I was never really a soft mom {shhhh, my kids know how to get me to cry}. I'm independent far too much for my own good sometimes. Needing help is hard, asking for it, harder, Letting people help ~ the hardest. I honestly never realized how much so many people cared about me, until this happened.
I'll never be able to express how truly grateful I have been to everyone. Nor could I ever make it up to anyone. I have a few Idea's I'm working on. I also have a lot of Christmas and birthday cheers to make up.
Still not 100% and the chest hurts
So it's a slow forward.....
But it's forward!!
Blessed by God
