Wreck
Catapult Kid and Dark-haired Daughter were in an accident tonight. They will be OK, I think, though Catapult Kid was unconscious for a few minutes before he was revived and was able to walk away from the smoking, crumpled car. Dark-haired daughter says her leg is hurting, but she seems otherwise OK. She was able to call from the scene of the accident. Another car was involved. She was told that the woman driving it would be OK. I hope that’s right.
I have not seen them yet - they are still at the local hospital. I asked the Reverend Dr. Ex if I could ride with him to the hospital, having no other car, but the answer was “I will pick them up myself” and “They don’t need a lot of unnecessary tests.”
My kids are alive and not profoundly injured. That is a huge reprieve from potential tragedy. I won’t be mourning the car; I am too busy being grateful.

I am glad to know that they are at least ok. I only wish Reverend Dr. Ex would get himself an attitude adjustment.
I’m sorry you’re having such a rough time right now, which I know doesn’t even begin to describe it. I’ll be thinking of you.

Thanks - we’re hanging in there. The injured are home now. CK has a broken collar bone, and DHD is just bruised.

Thanks, Kat
, and welcome. Our one-armed wonder is dealing better with the pain than he is the notion that he will not be allowed to drive again until he can use both hands.
