Had a very eventful evening!

Friday 28 September 2012

 Hi everyone!

I'm feeling very lucky at the moment that I'm at home and able to write this
message. My brother and I were in quite a serious accident this evening. We
were traveling to see a comedian in Belfast and were on a back road and came
round a corner and suddenly the car started sliding as a patch of the road had
just been surface dressed and had loose stones all over it. The car kept going
until we were facing the way we came and then kept going over the hedge and down
a big drop and rolled twice before stopping on its roof. I just couldn't believe
it had happened! Thankfully we were both relatively OK - my brother is actually
fine, not a scratch on him! I have a couple of cuts on my face and my hands are
cut all over them but it's my shoulder that's causing the most discomfort at the
moment as I felt it hit off the ground on one of the rolls. Thankfully no broken
bones or torn ligaments - I went to A&E and they x-rayed my shoulder and face
and patched me up. A few paper stitches on my face and I have to wear a sling
for a few days.
We are both so so lucky to be alive!

Oh Sheena, how scary for you and your brother, that must of been so frightening. Thank goodness that you are both ok! Hope your shoulder eases quickly and you aren't in too much pain.

I'm sure you will relive the awful accident many times but try not to think about the what if's, remain with the positive thoughts of making a full recovery.

My thoughts are with you and your brother, big hugs xx

That sounds like a very close call Sheena. Glad both of you got away with as few cuts and scrapes as you did.

Oh my...I was on my way to your desk but started to read this post...what an incredible shock for you both.
That must have given you both such a shake-up. It's good to hear you are both okay but take it easy...sometimes it can affect you far more than you first think :)

What a terrifying experience for you both, so glad you are both O.K.

I don't know if you have visited Quirky Crafts (I haven't heard from you), because if you do you will see you won the challenge there a week ago!
