IRONIC…
This morning I made a doctors appointment. Ben was coming to take us to it. I got Cooper dressed and then myself, barely. I pulled on sweats and my last clean tshirt, the one that says “It’s only funny til’ someone gets hurt then it’s freakin’ hilarious!” no underwear, I figured I was just going into the office quick and coming home and the effort was just too much.
So Ben picks us up and we set out. Well on the way there we start sliding and hit the ditch where the car then flips over three time. I remember seeing the windshield shatter and then I was hanging upside down. I managed to unbuckle myself. Cooper thought it was fun I think until he realized he was upside down and Mommy and Daddy weren’t fixing it. By this time the car was being swarmed by people. I could hear them but not see them and I was trying to get Ben unbuckled I could see that Cooper was alright. He did look like a little bat though. The people outside managed to get the car door open on Ben’s side, I told them I keep a pair of kitchen shears in the drivers door, They found them quickly cut Ben out while other pulled poor Cooper out who was so happy to be out he didn’t care that complete strangers were holding him. So the ambulance looked Cooper over and asked if I wanted them to take me to the emergency room because the ceiling on my side had actually caved in just enough to give me a goose egg on my noggin.
An ambulance ride would have been a new experience but being the practical person that I am, I had my Mamala take us.
So I have been in the hospital all day. I had a catscan and a chest exray, I’ve been given two bags of IV fluids and antibiotics and potassium`. They think they’ve found the problem and fixed it. My noggin is just dandy, a little tender and I’m feeling a little sore. I had a nice long time in a comfortable bed while I was being pumped full of fluids. I watched some TV Not As A Stranger with Robert Mitchum and Olivia DeHavillande was the only good thing on, I forgot how little there is to watch on TV in the daytime. The irony of watching a movie about doctors while one is in a hospital was appealing.
Then as we were leaving and I was allowed to get myself into the shameful amount of clothing that I came in with, the irony of the tshirt I was wearing hit me too.
So let’s see
- Accident on the way to doctors appointment, end up going to see different doctors.
- That whole never leave the house thing in holy undies… well try in no undies thing…
- Watching a movie about doctors and a hospital while in a hospital.
- Being the jackass who’s wearing the tshirt making fun of getting hurt… and then getting hurt.
Oh Yeah… I’d say I’ve had a day FULL of irony. On the upside, I feel better then I have in days, and we’ve needed a seven passenger vehicle. Anyway. I’m fine, Missing all of you though, I should be up to catching up on everyones lives soon I hope. Ang
Alright so I have a few spelling and punctuation errors… my Noggin is starting to hurt, deal with it.

Get lots of rest k?
(((hugs)))
RYC: That’s true.
omg! glad everyone is ok. i’ll even give you break on the spelling and punctuation errors…..just this once though.
Eeeps, Murphy was riding a long with you wasn’t he? the rotten bugger and his law.
(murphys law???)
Anyhoo..I hope you feel much better quickly my girl and that all three of you are just fine.
Hugs*
wow- im glad you’re ok!
you definitely defied MY grandmother’s cardinal rule- “never go out of the house in dirty underwear- what if you got in an accident and you had to get cut out of your pants at the hospital??” i love the tshirt though- its hilarious in general- but too perfect for words… any chance you got a picture of yourself in the hospital all bandaged up or something with the shirt on? because if its not funny now- it will be in a few months anyway…
What a crazy day! Glad to hear that you survived . . .
I’ve actually thought that my accidents were sorta fun, in retrospect, at least. It’s a huge adrenaline rush, and once you figure out that everyone is okay, you might as well enjoy the chemical influx . . .
You were smart to have those shears on hand!
I am so happy that everyone is okay! I was so scared!
I thought FOR SURE that was going to end up being a fever dream or something…Thank goodness you were all alright. I don’t even know what else to say!!! XOXOXOXO
Holy smokes! What a day. I am so glad you all are all right! Jasmine and I had gone to drop off my work study packet at the campus today, (40 miles away). On my way home on a more scenic back road, I hit an area of slush and ice so did some spinning and almost lost control but managed to get back the right direction! Goodness… I just have to repeat that I am so happy you all are OK!
Wow, what a day… Glad there are upsides to the day. What would ever make you think about kitchen shears in the car door? I would have been hysterical… oh, and the first thing I thought was… are you ready… mom’s advice to never leave the house with dirty underwear, which I am sure translates to or none at all.
Glad everyone is okay.
Hugs, Tricia
OH MY DEAR JESUS! I am so glad that no one was badly hurt…Oh Ang! I’m so glad you and your family are okay!
OMG…so glad you all are ok!! Hugs…love you!!!
You are very lucky! You still managed to turn a awful situation into a amusing story. Take care of yourself and I sure hope you soon feel better.
wow hon! i am so thankful that you are all ok !!!!
take care now and know i am thinking of you and your family.
Note to self: do laundry and burn t-shirt that says “I do my own stunts”. Take it easy and glad you’se guys are okay…
OMG! What an adventure… Glad everyone is okay and there were no serious injuries. Get some rest and get yourself better!
Good Lord…What a day you have had! I am sorry but, I had to giggle about your t-shirt & undies. Isnt it what Mothers always tell us…wear clean underwear. Again…I am so glad that you are all ok…what a scary scary situation you were in. Take Care…God’s Blessings…Penny
Scary ~ I’m glad all of you are ok! I hope your noggin feels better soon!
that’s crazy!
wearing no undies and showing up in a hospital is actually one of my deep seeded fears. glad to know it’s not all that bad.
RYC: You SAW the layouts? I was previewing layouts, I didn’t think anyone could see them…LOL
Which one did you see and like?
Wow! I’m glad everyone is ok. Sorry you had to deal with that ordeal but you have such a superb sense of humour about it. Ben looking like a little bat. Oh my heart goes out to you guys. hugs!
Holy Crap!!!!!!!!!!!! Glad all are okay. Thats one way to get a new car.
OH MY GOSH! so glad you guys are okay! Thinking of you Ang – hope you get better SOOOOOOON! And yeah, the undies thing……isn’t it ironic?????? LOL!
Whoa. I very grateful you guys are were all safe. Rest up and take it easy…
Oh my goodness!!! I’m so glad you all are alright! It could have been so much worse!! ((hugs))
wow. that is scary. I’m glad that everyone is ok? keep us posted.
Man! I am so glad to know that you all are okay. That would be scary as hell to go through and especially with no undies on! Can you imagine what your mom would have said if you had died and they found you commando? Damn! try and have a better day today huh?
Hell!!!! Thank fuck you were all ok. If my mum had read this, she would tut, then chide me ”See…going commando isn’t always a good thing!” Glad you escaped with only a sore head. Take very good care of you and yours lady xx
Gee, some people will do anything to get a few hours of rest. Glad you’re all okay. I bet that was kind of fun now that you know everyone’s okay. My BIL works in the ER. Trust me, not wearing any underwear is one of the more mundane things they see on a regular basis.
so glad you guys are okay!!!!!
Wow, I am glad your doing OK. It will give Cooper somethign to tell his kids about.
Rest!
Holy schnikies. I’m glad you guys are all ok. The whole “never leave home in dirty pammies” thing popped in my head as soon as I started reading your story. Guess it is true.
holy crap! i’m glad you are well, at least.
Woah…glad everyone is okay!! The irony of the T-shirt is well…ironic!!
good lord! I’m glad things are cool….man!
OMG Thank God you’re all okay! That’s some pretty scary stuff. Take Care
HOLY CRAP! I say have a good HUMP day…NOT get a LUMP on your head day you goober, pay attention!!
teasing you, glad you are OK, my kindered perverted sister on Xanga, I would miss you terribly! be careful.
I have to say,what is the big deal about clean underwear, I feel certain I would shit all over myself anyway!! LOL
Oh My Patience Ang! But just think, if you had been wearing your best undies they would have probably cut them off of you or something, that’s why my motto is if you don’t wear em you don’t have to worry about them being holy or anything, and you can alway blame the cute interns of stealing them if anyone asks………glad your all OK, and be careful…..and…. even if I kept a pair of shears in the car I dought I would be sane enough to tell anyone.
Oh Ang…I miss one day here and look what happens!! I am so glad that you are ok,so glad!!
OMG!! I miss a few days of Xanga-ing because of my freakin’ busy work schedule and you go and have a serious car accident! I’m SOOOOO glad you and the whole family are okay! Did you type this blog FROM the hospital bed? Because I can SO see you doing that.
