accidents happen

"Angels:  Don't Leave Home Without Them"

This is what happens when you're driving down I-5 at 11:30 pm, the night before Thanksgiving, and you hit a tarp that some trucker hadn't strapped down tightly onto his rig.
We had been travelling south toward Berkeley, and when we finally stopped rolling, flying, and spinning, we were on the other side of the I-5 corridor facing north toward home.
We were lucky.  Ewing and Barb were probably both knocked out during the rollover, but escaped with bruises.

I was asleep in the back seat- yep, where the car is all squished up.  I had the sense to protect my head with my hand, at some point, and escaped with major but fixable injuries.

After spending Thanksgiving weekend in the hospital in Red Bluff, CA., we flew home.  I had two major surgeries (pedical graph) and months of physical therapy ahead of me.  Plus the horrific experience of suing Allstate Insurance for damages took years.
