What a weekend we just had. Danny fell on Friday night and injured his leg - but we didn't notice the swelling, redness and warmth of the injury until Saturday night as it became increasingly more painful for him to walk on. We were concerned about a blood clot as those are some of the symptoms and his doctor said he needed to go to the ER and get an x-ray right away.
Six hours later, at 3:30 a.m., we crawled home and into bed. To put it in the words of Matt, "So, you have a bruise?" haha yep, a bruise. We spent 6 hours in the ER for a bruise. Which, don't get me wrong, I am thankful for. I am glad there was no fracture or deep vein thrombosis. I just have to remind my husband that, in the words of the nurse at the hospital, Saturday night out in the ER does NOT count as a date!
So, we grabbed a few hours of sleep, and got up to some hungry children. Danny and I decided to go out and get subs for everyone for lunch. On the way home, we got in another accident. We were absolutely incredulous - I couldn't believe that I was in two accidents in a ten day period! This one was worse (for me). We were hit from behind by a car, who was then hit behind by a truck and pushed into us again, so we had two definite impacts. I must say that getting hit from behind was far worse and more painful than hitting someone head on.
So, let's take a count here. My van is in the shop being repaired. Matt's car has been broken down in the driveway for a week and he is driving a borrowed vehicle. Danny's Pilot now needs to go in the shop for repairs. We had vehicle misfortunes in Florida...
Honestly, I have to admit that I am very nervous about driving. I have some carpools to drive this week, and I am just not sure how that will go. I am going to have to work this through and learn to trust the Lord in all of my ways. I know that nothing happens outside of His sovereign will. We will persevere and learn to drive again!!!
