Hi Everyone,
 
Hope you all had a nice thanksgiving.  We are out of town and on our way home last night DH got into an accident.  The front end of my car is smashed up, the radiator and stuff was steaming all over the place.  The headlights are broken and my bumper and front grill are totally messed up.  Instead of driving really slow through the deer running area that is especially dangerous this time of year he was speeding along like his usual and hit a very large deer at 50 mph. he didn't have time to stop after I yelled look out when I saw the deer bolt out of the woods and he hit him head on and it was a full body hit.
 
I sprained my ankle because I slammed on the brake but I wasn't driving and my foot hit the floorboards pretty bad.  Since we bought my car we have been arguing over whether he needs to tie down my wheelchair inside and I have to do it myself because he says it doesn't matter, well if he would have hit that with the chair not tied down it would have smashed through the front seats.  So maybe he learned that it really does matter as it still twisted around on impact but because of the tie downs it didn't fly all the way to the front seat.
 
So I supposed now my car will sit where ever it got towed to and I will be without a car waiting for him to bother with it.  I am at my mom's now 4 hours away from home and no car.  My mother won't take me home as she won't drive outside the county.  So I am going to have to figure a way home because I am certainly not prepared to stick around here waiting on him to get my car fixed and I don't have enough medications or anything for more than one night we planned on staying.  My cat is home alone and nobody has a key to get in and care for her.  She tolerates one night but when it gets to the second night she is a nervous wreck.  So I don't know whats going to happen and of course I cannot get to sleep here as I am stil shaking.
 
I rarely ride ewith him as he has fallen asleep several times while driving and will not stop and let me drive at all so I stopped going with him when he is driving and usually drive myself but as sick as I have been I didn't have the strength to drive home yesterday.  That is why he was driving even though it's against my better judgement, I just don't have the strength to do much anymore and it's such a long drive.
 
But I wanted to update you all that I am stranded and cannot do too much without all my group stuff here.  Normalee is doing what she can and things are moving even if they are slow.  I have been really sick for the last 10 days and am barely able to be online for an hour.  But in the next few weeks we will be moving over there as we have the message boards pretty much up and ready for use.  We have all our information saved elsewhere and will continue to update the new boards even after we transfer over there.
 
I will talk to you all very soon to update you on the condition of my car since it was pretty dark and couldn't get a good look at the engine damage.  So take care and I miss chatting with you all.  I am on a very slow dial up connection here and cannot do much at all as far as group stuff as most files take far too long to transfer on this connection.
 
Love, Summer

 Thank God you are ok.My daugher Sue was driving last
week and swirled to miss a deer&went in a ditch.She wasdriving my car.he left tie rod was broken & a light.She got a ticket gor going to fast to avoid a accident.She said she was only going 45.that was the speed for that road.
Her Dad does`t know.She had her seat belt on.The car ended up on it`s left side.I guess my car insurance will go up???But I thank God she
did not get hurt.I don`t think she should have a ticket!!!!  Any one driving in the country can have a chance of
hitting a dear.You can see them dead beside the road all the time.Hope you get home honey.  Melanie  in  NorthCarolina

Hi Melanie,

Thank goodness she is okay! We didn't swerve or anything just hit him head on!  But he got up and ran away if he even
 
fell at all.  My front end is messed up good, the grille, bumper and air condtioning condenser is totally gone.  My locks don't work right and the power ramp and door doesn't work.
 
But we are home now, the mechanic looked at it and there were no holes in the radiator and the engine looks good so we were able to drive it home.  Now I just have to get DH off his butt to get it in for repairs.  That is the hardest thing about this is getting him to move and do something, as always!
 
Well I went shopping this weekend so I must pop over to the bank account and get that balanced.  I hope I don't have to transfer too much out of my personal account!  We bought a washer/dryer set when it went on sale Friday and got a Kenmore frontloader set for about half price!  I have been saving for one for a few years so when it went on sale I jumped on it!
 
Take care!
 
Love, Summer

Hi Summer, Thank God that you are ok and back home. All that I can say is that God was watching over you. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Thank you Trina! 

I think I did get hurt because each day the pain gets worse and I am more and more unable to move.  I don't know if it was the impact or me tensing my body up when I saw that we were going to have the accident.  I have a doctor appointment tomorrow and maybe it will help...at least we can hope!

Love, Summer
