They said she did not have a concussion but she is complaining a lot about the left side of her head. She has a history of seizures in the past but they may have been from isotope treatments she recieved.. I noticed she is real confused. She does not remember now exactly where the wreck even was.

Not remembering the wreck details is not unusual. Since she is confused it wouldn't hurt to check on her every few hours.

Thank You CrankyYank. I was thinking of buying her a new car but I was going to surprise her with it. So much for surprises since now she knows I have to replace the wrecked one. I will still surprise her somehow to make her feel better. She keeps saying she is sorry for smashing the car up but I do not care one iota for the car, I am just glad she is OK/

Aww what a sweet woman. Take good care of her. She'll be okay.
That prayer stuff works...I think.

Hey CB, just came across this now.

I'm so grateful your wife is a-o.k. Take good care of her.

She was actually facing backward in the seat somehow and was hanging upside down till police and medics arrived. She is banged up and very sore and a scratched up some but other than that she is OK. The medics said without seat belts she would not have survived the initial impact. I feel good because I have ridden her ass for years to wear her seat belts and was shocked when I found out she was wearing them. Glad the Good Lord took care of her....always wear your belts!

************************************************** *
"CottonB", I am happy your wife is OK: from your description it sounded like the accident could have been very serious: I am glad she was wearing her seat belt & glad everything seems OK. How is her mother?

I agree with the conventional wisdom: seat belts save lives, so Always Buckle Up! ...pjwky

I was looking at a short track car for sale today, It comes equipped with a five point harness and a Han's device for only $8,000.00 minus the motor. You should buy her that.
