Well, we hope your Thanksgiving went better than ours did! We left home around 5:15 AM, and I drove to Jackson, on the way to Nashville. Charlotte took over to give me a break. After we crossed the TN River, a gust of wind caused our car to veer onto the median, and she corrected over to the right of way, and came back onto the Interstate sideways, and rolled over 1 1/2 times, with the driver's side on the bottom. <STRONG><U><EM>Praise God there was no fire!</EM></U></STRONG> It seems that help came quickly, as a policeman/trooper used his club to clear glass out of my passanger window. I climbed out and was taken to an ambulance. Charlotte was on the bottom, and had to be cut out of the car by removing the roof of our car. Totaled!<BR>She has a fractured vertebrae in her neck and a compound fracture on her left hand, with multiple bruises. We were taken to Dickson Medical Center and then on to Vanderbilt ER. She had surgery on her hand Saturday morning and released on Saturday night from Trauma Center. We spent the night at her sister's house and came home Sunday. <STRONG><U>So the fact that you are getting this message at all is a miracle!!!<BR></U></STRONG><BR>
<BR>
Update: Charlotte will begin physical therapy Tuesday on her left hand, and has an appointment with the neck specialist on Wednesday. I have started getting massage therapy on my shoulder and neck areas. I think I feel like Paul on the Damascus road, without the blindness! How can I now share God's blessings with others? <BR>
