Lightning Strikes – Memoirs 24-25 June 2020

June 24
Ok. I need a listening ear. My family has been awesome in helping me post LS but sometimes even they just don’t understand. Mind you I’m just calming down from another traumatic event today and my emotions are all over the place.
My daughter and I were in a car accident today. A fast moving thunderstorm had just passed while we were at the store. The roads were still wet. We were on our way home. A black car turning into a vet clinic. A maroon car following too closely to black car was not paying attention. I foresaw possibility of an accident and decided to slow down making more distance between us and then I moved to left lane. Seconds later maroon car swerved into my lane and almost hit me causing me to apply more breaks and move into turning lane. In doing so, the wet road caused me to hydroplane which caused me to do circles in middle of busy road and next thing I know I’m sliding towards oncoming traffic head on. My car hit the curb and stopped before falling into ditch. I thought for sure the car was going to flip.
I said quick thought prayer, Lord please protect us.
We were quite shaken but not physically hurt. My car may be totaled because back axle is quite bent. Had to have it towed. Police called. Maroon car left the scene after she checked to see if I was hurt.
Some of you know that I have a tbi from my LS. Is it normal to be thankful that I feel God helped me keep my wits enough to keep my baby girl safe?
530 In auto accident. Managed to avoid hitting anyone else but ended up damaging my car pretty bad – had to have it towed. Dezirae & I are all shook up but not hurt. I’m starting to hurt from nerves and muscles tensing up. Able to invite police officer to church. Thankful for God’s protection. My car will be disabled for quite a while if not longer.
I’m quite sore but okay. I feel like I’m still in a daze. I actually foresaw it happening seconds before it happened not thinking it would happen or that I would be the one in it. Dezirae & I had our cries.
Bro Chuck is going to come check my car out tomorrow to see if it can be fixed or needs to be totaled.
It has been such a help and I’ve shared it several times with others. . .
 While sitting on side of a busy road waiting as police officer filed report, I was praying thanking God for His protection and asking Him to help me hold it together as I could feel a melt down oncoming. The verse Proverbs 18:10 – The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe – came to mind. I was able to thank Him for being my strong tower and for my friend that shared the verse just a week before.
830 Told Joe with tears in my eyes that I was thankful that God helped me keep aware enough to steer the car and keep my daughter safe.
1040 going to bed. I hurt something awful from head to toe. Drank chamomile tea, used sleepy time lotion on legs and arms. Applied biofreeze to lower back. Took naproxen. Took night meds. Realized I forgot to take am meds.
June 25
940 not as sore as I thought I’d be today.
Soaked in Epsom Salt bath last night, drank cup of chammolie tea before bed, applied biofreeze to lower back, and used sleepy time lotion on legs and arms. Slept pretty good last night. A bit sore today and low back hurts a bit but I’m not hurting near what I expected.
Headache. Low back throbbing. Bit foggy feeling like in a daze. Low rt abdomen has sharp pain. Stomach cramping, but aunt flo’s in town. Whole body aches like it’s gonna rain again.
