*sigh*
I really hate the fact that I've unknowingly hurt one of my friends and pissed them off severely. I really hope I can patch that up.
I'm really worried about my mom. She's had a hard few weeks. Not that long ago, she was sent home from work for being uber sick (she passed out at one point). On her way home, she collided with a telephone pole because she passed out again. She totalled the van she was driving, but was unharmed (lucky). So she went home and rested for a few days.....and wound up in the hospital on Easter Sunday. She found out that because of what was wrong with her (I don't know the science here, but I believe her potassium levels bottomed out and nearly shut her heart and liver down, I believe) had she not gone in when she had, she would have died within a few days. My mother is not one to seek medical help (she also rarely gets sick) but I'm glad for once she did. She's been easily made sick lately, she got pneumonia and some bad colds too. But she's starting to get back to her normal self. Or was, until the other day she was driving to pick up my sister (and this was not far from where the accident happened) and she heard this loud noise, came up over the hill and saw a major two car collision. She hopped out and dialed 911. She heard someone from one car calling out her name, turned out that was my sister's kindergarten teacher from years back. My mom rushed to her, but nearly tripped over the woman who was thrown from the other car, who was on the ground....she told the teacher to wait a minute, and tried giving CPR to the woman on the ground, but she died there. Mom said she had broken arms, legs, chest, back, everything. When the paramedics arrived they said there was nothing to be done. Also, apparently, during this time, the local sheriff came about and was freaking out and told my mom to give up, the woman was dead. Apparently she pummeled him with every name in the book and told him to shut up or do his job. And also this 20 something year old girl had pulled up during this and was screaming and freaking out. My mom got her calmed down and got her a ride home.....*sigh* So basically my mother took control of the scene until the paramedics got there because the sheriff and other people who ended up being there were just useless. It's really messed her up, seeing that woman die. It's brought back memories of her having to watch her father die for 15 hours a few years back. She's just really messed up right now, and I have NO clue what to do. I hope she'll be ok.
Oh, and the teacher was fine. her leg was crushed in the car, so she ended up with a broken leg, but honestly, she got out real lucky. I didn't hear what caused the accident, so dunno what to say there.
Hmmmm.......anyway, don't know what else to say right now. I'm kind of in a very strange mood. Later.
