Thanks Linda! You've hit the nail on the head....the internal struggle of considering what you MIGHT do is so much more exhausting then actually doing something!! This is true in all areas of life!

I'm still here! It has now been six weeks since my accident and I am doing much better! My outside bruising is all gone, but I am still nursing two good sized hematomas...one on each leg. They are improving sloooowly, but surely! I am still heating them three times a day. My body is ever so graduall...

Thanks so much for your responses. Let me add that I do live in Michigan. And even the summer this year has not been too sunshiney. :/

Thank you Sonya and Eschano! The young man that hit me is in his mid 20's. He is ok as well. Such a blessing that we were both in big vehicles.

Hey Mimi and NoSer! Thanks so much for stopping by and for the encouragement! I was involved in a serious car accident on Monday afternoon. Thankfully my injuries are not serious.
