Forum member seriously injured

@hollydolly hope you're doing better. I'm afraid I got in an accident myself today with Lia and my dog Ember in the car. Traffic was slowing down on the freeway though San Francisco and the Tesla ahead of me put her breaks on suddenly so I also broke fast. But the Prius behind me didn't get the memo and crashed into the back of my car at speed. Our air bags didn't even deploy as the breaks brought us to a quick stop. But my car looked like it had exploded. It is totaled. All in the service of keeping us safe apparently.

My dog was very friend with Highway Patrol and EMTs and rode in the tow truck between us quite happiy.

I’m really glad that you guys weren’t hurt, but sometimes neck and back injuries from being rear ended don’t show up for a few days so pay attention to how your body feels. I had that happen to me when I was in my 30s and rear ended. Take care.
 

Holly, how wonderful to see you back here! When I saw your name and your lovely, familiar picture, I was literally moved to tears. Your condition sounds anything but wonderful, but you are so much better than a week ago, and your strong spirit and (dare I say British?) grit will carry you through.

I can imagine how hard it is to type with one finger, and I think you said your left hand is your non-dominant hand, which makes it even harder. Mark, my sympathies on the scary experience you and your dog had. Fortunately, it sounds like you are OK, though I'm sure your experience was terrifying in its own right. Holly can dictate an email orally, but apparently not into this forum. I am more than happy to receive her messages that way and forward them to the whole group. Starsong does it also. It only takes a second. So Holly, don't feel you have to keep struggling to type until you are up to it. You don't need one more problem.

Keep on getting better, friend. And thanks for answering so many of the questions we all have about this. It does sound as if you are getting some help, but IMO not enough. Too bad all of us can't go to London, march into the health social services office, and raise hell. Your friends on this forum would be a force to contend with.

I love the entire last paragraph of this post.
It's so very true!🤩☺️😁🤗👍

I'm very sorry to hear that you, your spouse and dog had an accident too. But glad to hear that you are ok!
