Yikes, how scary, sweetie! I'm so glad no one was hurt and especially
not YOU. But I am very sorry for your current quandary, and yet
another costly mishap. Trans****tation is indeed a necessity. I
remember how bad I felt when I rear-ended another driver about 20
years ago. I felt horrible about it, so I understand some of what
you must feel, now. I hope the doctors quickly find out what
happened and why and how to stop such a thing from ever happening
again. Halloween is supposed to be spooky, not terrifying!
Huggles,
****ral
