[il-talk] I had an accident.

[Deborah Kent Stein]

Dear Linda,

That was surely a scary experience! I'm so glad you're okay! Having worked
on the regulations for sound output on hybrid and electric cars, I'm
wondering what sort of car it was that hit you. Even though the regulations
for added sound went into effect in 2017, cars don't have to be retrofitted,
so very quiet cars will still be on the roads for a long time. I agree with
Leslie and others who have weighed in on this - don't let this incident stop
you from getting out and about! It's like the old adage about when you fall
off a horse, you need to get right back on again. 

Debbie

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
