[il-talk] I had an accident.

Linda,

I hope you are doing ok. No doubt it was quite scarey. The best thing you
can do at this stage is to get out and start walking as soon as you are
able. If you don't, your confidence may be replaced by fear. Many years ago,
I was struck by a bus which knocked me down, though I was not substantially
hurt. I went to work the next day and it was the best thing I could have
done.

Hello my Federation Family,

I wanted to let you know, when I was taking a walk, Friday, I was crossing a
4 lane driveway near my home.  Not long driveways.  When a car slowly
started backing up and hit me.  I never heard the car, and the woman didn't
see me.    I didn't go flying, but, fell, and dropped my cane as my glasses
flew off my face.  I hurt my left thigh and left arm.   I was able to stand
and walk, but, went to E R to have X-rays done.  No breaks or fractures in
leg or arm.  today, have a little neck and back pain.  Not bad.  Thank
goodness I wasn't  hurt badly. I'm sure some of you have had this
experience.  Any thoughts?  I'm not really afraid to walk again, but will
definitely pay even more attention to my surroundings.

Linda
