It's Always Something
This morning my wife totaled her 2020 Nissan Rogue on the way to work at 6 AM. I got a phone call at 6:05 AM and when I answered, my wife told me she just totaled her car. She was all of 1/4 mile from home. I got there right when the police and first responders got there. Apparently, an 18 wheeler driver on the westbound access road (the access road is two way in this area) to I-10 decided he wanted to turned around. Problem was he blocked the entire road with his loaded flatbed at the crest of a hill. Being as there are no street lights along that stretch of access road, by the time my wife realized there was a trailer blocking the road, it was too late. The other problem was his trailer had no lights on the sides, so she never saw it. Thank God for airbags and seat belts. She avoided any major injury. Just bruised and scrapes from where the airbag deployed, and bruising from the seatbelt. It could have been so much worse. She will be major sore tomorrow. On a good note, our nephew's wife works for a major lawyers office who specialize in accidents and injuries caused my major trucking firms. They are already preparing for the insurance battle. Just now also found out my wife's sister passed today. So let's hope that is enough for one day. Let alone for this year. I got nothing else today.
Oh goodness, I am so sorry to hear this. I am so glad her injuries were minor, but as you said, she will be incredibly sore tomorrow. I am also sorry to hear of your sister in law's passing. Just sad all the way around. Big prayers up to your wife for a speedy recovery, and hugs for the pain and sorrow. Keep us updated. Bless you friend.

I’m so very sorry to hear this news. So glad your wife didn’t get hurt any worse than she did but then to have her sister pass is a shame. I hope the lawyers will do a good job for you. It easily could have been a devastating accident. I haven’t lost a sibling yet and it scares me. I can’t imagine the pain. I have 2 sisters and we are all 22 months apart. May God bless you and your wife. Between her sister and pain from cuts and bruises it can seem like too much all at the same time. Please take care of yourselves. My heart pours out to you and honey wife. Can not imagine how you are feeling. Gentle hugs to you both, remember 1 moment at a time to one day at a time, stress is not a friend of any ones either. Extra thoughts and prayers are being sent your way.

Thank you all for the kind and supportive words! It was a hell of a day for sure. Now the time we need to spend on dealing with the insurance companies, our lawyers, and the upcoming funeral will take up a lot of time and effort. I am sure there will be some frustration thrown in there also. Situations like this reminds us on how quickly your life can change. It could have been so much worse and we are thankful for that. Looking like another day spent on the phones and helping my wife recover. She is definitely a lot sorer today as was expected. That is about all I got for now. I will keep you all updated as I can. Take care, God Bless, and thank you all!
