I'm not sure how to post this, but I got hit by a car today.  I should be fine.  The injuries seem to be superficial, but I am going in to the doc in a bit here for a thorough exam and x-rays.  I feel like crap!  Hopefully I'm just bumped and bruised :)

Oh no! I'm glad you're ok. I hope everything goes well at the doc. How did this happen? Did the driver stop?

From marion on Wed, Oct 06, 2010 at 15:07:13 from 71.213.126.11

The driver did not see me and did not stop fully at the stop sign. She got right out of the car to see if I was alright and offered to help. I was in shock and walked home crying. Another person offered to give me a ride and help me. I just kept walking and crying. The fire department finally found me at my house.

From rAtTLeTrAp on Wed, Oct 06, 2010 at 15:27:23 from 69.96.143.236

That is so scary. You're lucky to have walked away from it. At least it wasn't a hit and run. I hope you got their insurance info so you don't get stuck paying for the doc.

Sometimes drivers are so careless about pedestrians. I'm scared to run in front of anybody even when I have the right of way unless I make eye contact with them.

From allie on Wed, Oct 06, 2010 at 18:59:04 from 174.19.51.35

so scary, marion! but very glad to hear that you are okay. take care.

From nicole on Thu, Oct 07, 2010 at 01:30:11 from 76.22.105.167

OH MY GOSH. Are you sure you're okay? How fast was the car going? Was it during the day? I am so sorry but am glad to hear you're feeling okay. That is so scary, I hate cars!

From Carolyn in Colorado on Thu, Oct 07, 2010 at 09:18:09 from 24.8.167.243

Oh no, Marion! Have you been to the doctor? How are you feeling?

From marion on Thu, Oct 07, 2010 at 10:35:08 from 71.213.120.240

I think I am OK. I feel like CRAP! :p Yes, I went to the doc yesterday.

From RAD on Thu, Oct 07, 2010 at 17:35:22 from 67.172.229.125

OH wow Marion! I as SO glad you are okay, but STINK that it happened. I was just expressing my total frustration with cars that do that last month!! I also hope you got insurance info and that the driver pays heavily for it. Hard lesson learned - but hopefully learned well!

So, any broken bones or anything? I hope it's just bruises and bumps. Hey...maybe she bumped your ITB into the right place? (sorry, bad joke!).

I hope you're doing better today, PLEASE let us know how you are recovering - stupid drivers, when you see a stop sign, that means STOP!

From marion on Thu, Oct 07, 2010 at 18:06:52 from 71.213.120.240

I have some sharper pain today and they are going to do an x-ray tomorrow to see if I have a pelvic/hip fracture. Hopefully all will be clear and it's just a really sore hip. I am really lucky...and REALLY sore!

From LuzyLew on Thu, Oct 07, 2010 at 18:53:21 from 208.187.197.42

Marion, I am so sorry. This has been quite a year for you (falling off rooves, breaking clavicals, and getting hit by cars). I hope you'll be ok and not in pain. I can not believe you got hit by a car. Shoot. Let us know if we can do anything for you.

From Maurine/Miles on Fri, Oct 08, 2010 at 07:49:54 from 63.255.172.2

I was so scared for you when I heard this. It was good to talk to you and find out your sense of humor was not damaged.

Let me know if I can help at all. I am good at beating up old ladies.

From marion on Fri, Oct 08, 2010 at 08:58:43 from 71.213.120.240

You guys are so nice. No, I don't think I'll need your "muscle" Maurine. I am sure the driver is feeling bad enough all on her own. She tried to help me so tenaciously, but I just left, in shock, I suppose. I would really like to talk to her and let her know that I do not bear her any ill will. If the situations were reversed, I would be inconsolable! It is so sad that in this world of lawsuits and counter suits, that people can't just comfort each other.

From Maurine/Miles on Sat, Oct 09, 2010 at 12:24:09 from 97.117.58.8

Is your hip fractured?

From Kim on Sat, Oct 09, 2010 at 12:53:22 from 67.199.180.90

Oh Marion....just checking in to see how you are doing and I find this! I am so sorry! I hope things are feeling better and there isn't a long recovery ahead of you! Good luck....your family seems to need some extra good luck lately.

From leslie peterson on Sat, Oct 09, 2010 at 17:32:39 from 174.52.158.81

OH what a horrible scare!!!!!!! I am so sorry to hear this news! So, is your hip okay??????? We need to wrap you in Christmas lights to keep you safe on the road!!!!!

From marion on Sat, Oct 09, 2010 at 19:29:28 from 71.213.120.240

The hips look good :) If there is still pain in a few weeks, he'll order a bone scan. They have been feeling much better today :)

From Smooth on Mon, Oct 11, 2010 at 13:06:14 from 67.41.235.104

Oh my gosh! I had no idea you got hit by a CAR! My goodness Marion! You guys had your share of bad stuff this year! NO MORE accidents or trips to ER or doc!

I am soooo sorry! Am glad you are feeling better! I have missed you so much! Please take good care. Luvs!

Sunday was much better! I was even able to make it to all of my regular Sunday meetings along with a 6:30am stake council and my monthly meeting with the Stake Pres. I laid in bed for the rest of the day. 3 hours of church was a bit too long :p In the evening I was feeling a bit stir crazy and made some caramel apples and a bit of kitchen straitening. My left had was acting weird. My good friend and neighbor is a physical therapist and she came over and gave me a most excellent massage right before bed. I took my muscle relaxant and went to sleep. I slept pretty good. The road rash is looking better except for this one deep spot. I need to keep it covered cause it is still weeping, but he adhesive tape is causing a rash. It really itches and is irritated. I am going to look for some "paper tape" that my stake pres recommended. He said they use it in the hospital for people who are irritated by the regular tape. We shall see. I have a million peaches that need to be dealt with today. I'm gonna see what I can do. Maybe 1/2 hour up, 1 hour rest will work. The laundry is exploding out of the laundry room too. Man, I need another me to catch up. Heck, I need 2 or 3 more me's to catch up.

From Smooth on Mon, Oct 11, 2010 at 13:20:37 from 67.41.235.104

Dang! I need to come over and help you. I can't believe you have peaches. We have a grand total of 4 peaches from our 6 peach trees! :)

From marion on Mon, Oct 11, 2010 at 13:39:43 from 71.213.126.80

We have 2 peach trees and the second one gave us a million peaches. I need to just peel them and freeze them, but I am NOT in the mood ;) First load of laundry is in. OOps, I am sitting down for some of my 30 min up :p David is off to the store to get me some stuff. I just ate a handful of chocolate :)

From leslie peterson on Mon, Oct 11, 2010 at 15:00:38 from 174.52.158.81

glad you are starting to feel better, what a scare!!!

Marion, could you send me that cool picture your brother did of the fat cook? I would like to make a poster for my RS Enrichment meeting. I realize this might be very uncool for me to ask, if it is not okay, than that is fine, I just remembered how cute it was and it would be so perfect. Thanks!

From marion on Mon, Oct 11, 2010 at 15:21:26 from 71.213.126.80

I check with Adam and then I will let you know. He'll probably be fine with it :)

From Metcalf Running on Tue, Oct 12, 2010 at 12:08:52 from 207.225.192.66

OMG, I have not check here for a while and feel so bad that I didn't see this. I"m glad you are feeling a bit better, but that is so scary!! Please take care of yourself, and I hope all will work out OK. You are in my thoughts sweetie!
