Sunday, October 24, 2004Im Back ..sorta !?Well Im back from my vacation and it wasnt the week I had expected , let me explain . What we do every year is we go with 6 other couples and thier kids and we have a huge 10 bedroom 1.7 million dollar home we rent in Emerald Isle , NC. So some couples drive down alone and other , like us, follow each other down and stop to eat and such together ..it kinda makes the 13 hour drive down a little less stressful. So we started out on Saturday the 17th at 9am and actually were making pretty good time and what we usually do is stop at Sam's Club in NC and buy all the meats and frozen stuff for the week instead of buying it up here and hoping it doesnt go bad on the way down . So we were driving on this main road right after we left Sam's and the order was My buddy Mark was first , My buddy Barry was second and I was bringing up the rear ..and here's where it went terribley wrong ...... My buddy Mark ( with his wife and 2 kids) had to stop quick because the guy in front of him stopped really quick , he actually had to veer off to the side of the road , Barry ( with his wife and 2 kids) who was right in front of me skid and came within a foot of hitting Mark came to a stop , then came me who didn't see this whole thing until it was too late and put my brakes on too late and tryed to swerve out of the way but my car was skidding to much to turn and I slammed into Barry going about 35 . The airbags deployed and to be honest if we didnt have airbags , we would have been dead . I bounced off mine and hit my head on the thing that holds the visor in place and opened up a gash that was just spouting out blood all over the place as I sat there trying to see if my kids were ok , meanwhile my wife's floor buckled under her and the impact from the floor coming in broke her Fibula bone , the big one in her leg. She knew it right away because she was saying that her leg was broke . We actually got into the accident right in front of a hospital so it was a short ambulance ride there . Meanwhile our friends who we hit took our kids and kept them for us until I got to figure out what was going to happen . I got 8 stiches and waited for my wife's treatment . When they told us she broke her Fibula and they couldnt do it at that hospital , they would have to do it at a hospital 2 hours away from where we were my heart almost dropped . So there went my wife in a transport with her leg in traction while I waited for one of my friends to come pick me up because my kids were so upset they wouldnt eat , sleep or talk to anyone but me or my wife. So my kids had to spend thier entire vacation without there mother and I could only see my wife once because she was 2 hours away from me and I had to be both parents this trip ..It was just awful Here are some pics of my car ... PIC 1( this is me standing next to the car) , PIC 2 , PIC 3 , PIC 4 I will try to put something together tommorow but my wife is coming home today and with to way to get upstairs she will be living in my living room for about a month or so , So I might be a little busy from day to day .
