Hi everyone...
Just a quick update for you...I did have a small mishap on Monday morning (7/23), in the SUV, while driving my friend to work. We had just gotten off highway and was traveling on a back road..when a 18 wheeler about 1 1/2 to 2 car lengths in front of us, shot a (baseball size) rock up at us. It hit the hood of the SUV, then hit 3 more hits before smashing the windshield twice. We were safely able to pull over immediately- the truck not knowing anything happened- kept going. My friend Barbara & I were covered in glass and dirt (dirt from rock). I got a sm cut on my L-index finger and something in my right eye...Barbara was fine- thank GOD! I'm also grateful we were not closer or going faster as I think things would have been much worse. I'm also grateful that the rock didn't bounce into SUV through the open sun roof and knock one of us in the head!
I dropped Barbara of at work then I went about taking care of matters...
A company called the Glass Doctor came out and replaced the windshield...and got most of the glass out of SUV. (I think it will be awhile before I can get it all-it went every where - LOL) Then I went to local E.R. to have my eye checked. I'm glad to report it doesn't look like there is any glass in it or scratches to the eye. They put a special dye in it and used an ultraviolet light and didn't see anything worrisome. They flushed the eye and gave me antibiotic drops that I have to use for the next 5 days.
If the eye is still bothering me in 3 days - I have to see an eye doctor.
We are planning a "girls trip" to Atlanta right now...going down to see the aquarium down there..I hear it is huge...and has an underwater walkway...I'll be sure to take pictures and fill you in on all the details.
Until next time- take care-Love Donna
