Well I’m very Thankful for my wife and two youngest daughters who had a mishap in the car yesterday morning.
I get a call at work early in the morning from my wife on the other end saying “ I had a little mishap this morning backing up my car “ as I noticed I left the light on in the garage she started to explain.
Then she said as she thought she put the car in park she didn’t realize she still had it in Reverse and she had started to exit her car when she felt it starting to roll and realized it was in reverse still.
Well the car a Suburu Escent went backwards and the door threw her to the ground and hit her in the head and she banged her arm as she fell to the asphalt.
Then the front wheel on driver side ran over her ankles
And feet as it started rolling quickly down the lane. She yelled to our middle daughter to throw the car in Park which our daughter had no idea what that meant.
Our youngest was in the back seat screaming as the car continued down the lane and went across yard towards our ditch .
My wife got herself up and hobbled as quickly as she could to save the girls thinking they were in serious danger that her Mother instincts took over to stop the car which she was able to do and almost getting knocked down again.
She had to calm our youngest daughter Darci down who was somewhat in shock from what just happened.
When my wife called me I said where are you now do you need an ambulance or are you heading to the ER?
She said no I’m taking the girls to their orthodontic /dentist appointment now but a little sore where the wheel rolled over my ankles .
She got to the dentist office and realized she must of dropped her glasses in the drive and she took the girls to school then went home and retrieved her glasses.
I tried calling her several times and finally she called me and said she was heading to my work and I drove her to the ER.
She had no broken bones but a bruised very purple heal and toes on the right foot and ankle area and a bruise on the other .
Her arm is bruised as well.
They put a sandal style shoe on her right foot and told her to take it easy and put ice packs on .
Can you believe she is going to another Dr. appointment and heading to work later this afternoon.
I praised God for keeping her safe and the girls and it could of been a lot worse for sure but I Thank God He protected her from getting hung up under it.
She is almost 59 years old and I thought for sure she crushed her bones but x ray saw no fractures.

Your family was very lucky indeed. The Lord was surely looking after them. We will continue to pray that your wife heals very quickly.

Lord: Thank you for your protection and that this only was a "mishap" and not life threatening. Thanks for the lesson learned and thank you so much for people that put their trust in you. Continue now with rapid and thorough healing. In Jesus' name.

I just found this... I echo others' gratitude it was not worse, but at her age (your wife) tell her to keep it elevated at Clotting can be an issue...
I had a buddy pass that way up in Syracuse after tearing his Achilles tendon.
Keep us posted...
prayers abound!
Keep the Son in your eyes....
Best to teach them girls what it means to stop the car, eh?

Doc,
She is doing better day by day and she is keeping it elevated when she can.
We did show girls (After the fact) on how to pull emergency brake and throw in park .
Tomorrow the 14 th is our 34 th anniversery but we been together for almost 37 years so we are going out to a restaurant later today . She is a great wife,Super mother to these 3 girls and a great friend to many.
Really makes you stop and Thank God for all He has blessed us with .

Thanks for that update, Keith
I know she's been a great partner for you and my concerns are simply that: Concerns... the Chap I referenced earlier had been playing Racquetball with another "proff" at Syracuse U and tore that tendon, was told to go home and elevate and ice it... Which he Did.
He and his bride were sittin on their couch, where I'd sat withthem a dozen times watching TV and he just keeled over onto his wife.... a Clot had broken loose and killed him! So after learning of that conundrum, I am suspicious of foot injuries...
Going out to eat seems harmless enough, but even there, I'd have her put it up on something like a spare chair to keep elevated as much as possible...
Happy Anniversary!! :) & God Bless

Sorry that happened to your friend and sad to have happened over something as simple as a injury while playing a sport.
Praying continuously for you still my friend.

Bob,
Forgive me for not doing a update until now and She is doing very well with little issues of pain.
She just said yesterday her feet were sore from being on them all day but for the most part she is doing great and We praise God for her recovery and it could of been a lot worse.
It scared the family and some folks just could’t get a grip or believe this could happen and how But it actually did and we have to always Thank God for each “Breath” He gives us daily.
Life is a gift and I Thank God each day for it.
I appreciate everyone here and their prayers .
