RN, that is very scary Serate!! A few months back something like that happened to me. I was talking to my sis(she called me too) on her way home when all of a sudden I heard a loud screeching noise and the phone went dead. OMG, I was so scared until she called me 30 min later to tell me some guy just rear ended her as she was just passing a green light. Her van was totaled and she still has neck and back pain. Sorry, didn't mean to make it about my sis or me, please let us know how your friend is doing.

RN Liv is in the hospital for observation but is going to be ok. Somebody behind her spun out of control and hit her, which made her spin out and she went over the median and down the opposite embankment. Truck is totaled but she's gonna be ok. Thanks for all your concern and support. I tend to freak out and think of the worst.

RN Debra not a little, a lot. Also made me realize that after 11 months here I have no friends here outside of my hubby's work. Yes Mame thank goodness. Hubby just got off the phone with Liv's hubby. The road she was on, the embankment she went off, just scares me to pieces thinking of how steep it was and how far she went down. I felt really guilty about being on the phone with her. Hubby told me, and her hubby confirmed, that if she hadn't been on the phone with me she would have been on the phone with somebody else. And actually there was nothing she could have done to stop the chain of events except not be on the road.

RN, WHEW, Serate. Just whew. My heavens, that is just too scary to imagine. You're right, being hit from behind is not something you can control. Thank goodness she is going to be okay! Let her know we were all keeping her (and you) in our hearts and prayers.

RN, Serate, that must have been terrifying for you! I'm glad she's OK... trucks are material things, they can be replaced. Friendships, not so much. RN, Twinkie, we chose Belize because originally we were going to elope, just the two of us. I didn't want anyone to know until they got the photo in the mail. And we didn't want it to be cliché, like Mexico or Hawaii or Vegas, we wanted somewhere a little more off-the-beaten-path, somewhere we could incorporate some local culture into it and not be overrun by the glitz and glamour of all the private five stars and perfect manicured beaches. And we've both always been fascinated by the Maya, so it seemed perfect to choose Belize. We're arranging (hopefully) to have a Mayan shaman perform a traditional Maya spiritual ceremony, instead of a western religious one. And RN, HP, I did start a thread, though it's been a bit since I provided an update... with the holidays and the new job, wedding plans have kinda been put on the back burner. And the story of how he proposed is still in my folder, hasn't been archived yet.

RN ~ Glad I never had and never will use cell phones. My cousin liked yakking while driving and she totalled her van 2 yrs ago, rear ended a car on slick roads. She told me the pal she called to gripe about ice distracted her. Really??? My hubby says his block walk from train station and elevator to his office floor is 80% people with cell phones glued to their heads. Proves people just can't talk enough about nothing...

RN What a scary day, Serate!!! So glad to hear your friend is going to be OK. I would have freaked out, too!! Heck, I think I'd still be a bit freaked out! Car accidents tend to do that to me and hearing one and feeling helpless, YIKES! Glad you were able to help and find some support here.

RN...I am so relieved for Serate and her friend. How scary. RN...I am absolutely terrified over a medical procedure I'm having done tomorrow. RN...I wish there was a rousing discussion happening somewhere on TVCH to keep my mind off it.

RN, so give, Beek, what are you having done? (Course if you don't want to go into it, I understand completely.) Hope everything goes well, hon.

RN, HP, I just can't. It causes me intense panic attacks. I will say this: I have found an anethesiologist who feels he can help me overcome my intense fear during the six hours he will be working on me. If I am even able to walk into that place tomorrow to do what I need to do, I will feel brave and taking a step toward facing my fear. RN I can't...but I hope I can someday soon. Perhaps sharing my story might help someone else, too. That's the ONLY thing that could get me to share it.

RN, you are entitled to your privacy, Beek, and I fully respect that. I hope you do find the courage to do what you need to do tomorrow! Best wishes. I just know everything will go well.

RN, I'm ready to go with you and hold your hand.
If you print me out and put me in your pocket, I really will be with you.
