Oh my goodness. It’s amazing you survived! That’s awful :(
The accident happened in Georgia. So I was in Georgia for about 2 months. While there they notified my son's in Michigan to get down there. They said I wouldn't last 24hrs. But I guess God had different plans
Then when I was critical but stable. Still in a coma they medical air flighted me to a hospital near my home in Florida.

Did Ford fess up to the issue and compensate you, I hope?
Nope it was a 1999 F150. I really only used it to tow my boat about 15 miles to lake Michigan. I didn't really pursue Ford. While I was in a coma my wife had a lawyer look into it. The saving grace is my auto insurance has catastrophic lifetime pip. So everything has been covered by State Farm.

Well with a older truck and no other trucks having that problem. There was never a recall. I guess when the lawyer checked into. He didn't think there was a case. After I recovered to where I could think straight I didn't really have the drive in me to pursue it. I still had to learn how to speak and then to walk.

I loved helping my mother do laundry. You can do 2 or 3 loads in the same water. They get clothes way cleaner too. Hang them out to dry. I know it's an old fashioned way and young families don't have that kind of time anymore.
We are buying our dream farm soon. I’m getting hubby to put me up a clothes line.

Oh my word, That is a serious bruise. How did you get it?
A year ago I suddenly started fainting. I went down 4 times in a week.

The first time I was in the shower. When I fell I hit the little bypass thingy that you pull up to make the water go up to the shower head.

After laying there a minute or two, I realized I hadn't rinsed my hair. The bright thing to do was stay down and just put my head under the faucet. At that moment, I was not bright. I stood up, rinsed my hair, and promptly passed out again, hitting the same pullup thing at the same spot on my arm.

A week later I went down and crunched my head on the floor tile and sprained my ankle.

Spent 2 days in the hospital. The reason was that unexplicably my blood pressure was suddenly MUCH lower than ever before. Went from 40 mg daily to 5 mg of my BP med. Been fine since.
