Saturday night was supposed to be a blast. Jeff and I were heading to Fort Worth for the TCU homecoming game. We we're supposed to meet friends at the FREE alumni tailgate. We never got there.
We were about five minutes away from campus, and the traffic was terrible. We decided to take a different exit and some back roads to avert it. Boy, was that a mistake.
As we drove through an intersection, a black Cadillac plowed into us. Both cars kept moving; we spun, hit a curb and then ran into a light pole. The airbags went off.
Unfortunately, my feet were propped up on the dashboard at the time of impact. The airbags smashed my feet up into my legs. Luckily, we were right across the street from a busy restaurant, so plenty of people called 9-1-1 immediately. In a matter of minutes, I was on my way to the ER — by myself.
So, after sitting alone in an ER waiting room for hours, I finally emerged, with a boot on my leg and crutches to get around with. It's been an adventure getting used to using crutches. I'm slow doing ANYTHING, and more importantly, I can't drive. (It's my right foot that's in the boot.) So, I've been bumming rides off Kandace, Coppell/Valley Ranch editor, and Jeff's been using my car to get around. (His was totaled.)
I'd post photos of my leg, the crutches and the car, but I think that's just more depressing than interesting.
Anyway, that was my Saturday night. How was your weekend?
