The accident that Alyssa and I were in

By Elise

Where to start.. it hurts to type so at any moment I will pass the keyboard to TJ and tell him what to type.

Sunday, me and Alyssa were headed to pick up a friend and their baby boy (Ryan, who will be 2 in August and sooo cute). Along the way we were hit by some guy in a pickup truck who was speeding and flew past his stop sign. He nailed my car spinning it completely around. Alyssa cried, people came out of their homes and got her out of the car. Some lady had my baby and held her where I could see her clearly. I couldn't move to get out. The ambulance drivers pulled me onto a board and put me on a stretcher immediately putting a neckbrace on me (I hate this thing). They all told me Alyssa was fine, she's ok etc, trying to keep me calm. I was completely strapped down but still tried to look and see Alyssa who was saying "beep beep" to the sound of the siren. They quickly splinted my right arm because it was horribly disfigured. I was lucky to be wearing my seatbelt, although it turned just about my entire stomach purple, it stopped me from flying thrugh the windshield.I suffered no broken bones, which shocked the hell out of the doctors. I have deep bruising evrywhere. The hardest part is I can't pickup and console my daughter, who always went to me when hurt or not feeling well. Heartbreaking. All because someone had been drinking and driving. He and his passenger were hurt badly, suffering broken bones. He had been drinkig and left the house pissed off. You could hear them talking because they were only a curtain and a few feet away. The driver's wife works for the Sheriff department, and there was a policy number, but no insurance company name. Interesting coincidence? Thats fine, I talk to a lawyer tomorrow. My baby is prolly terrified of riding in a car, when thats what she loved a lot. She would want me to put her shoes on her then pick her up then she would tell everyone "bye bye" and wanna go for a ride. Now she knows she was in a car then she ended up hurt. A fractured collarbone, it keeps her from using her arm very often. That person should lose his liscense and spend a little jail time. He goes to jail if they find his blood alcohol level is high enough. We wont know for 6 weeks.

    A good friend of mine was killed by a drunk driver roughly 2 weeks ago. I'm glad to hear you two made it out okay. I definitely know how you feel, though. *hugs* I love you, Lise.

    I'm worried, although this wasn't my fault. The man who hit us could die. He got hurt pretty badly. His family now have a lawyer.

    Thats disgusting...he should be incarcerated indefinately...there is no excuse but a lack of willpower and that in itself should = prison for a lengthy stay
