My parents were in a head on collision this morning, so I won't be here for a while.
My Dad suffered a broken collarbone and a cracked handed, my Mum has broken ribs broken her thumb and is still in ICU. we'll see but my Dad MIGHT be home tomorrow
Apparently a car came round a corner too fast and lost control, spun a couple for times and my Dad don't have time to react. The police says it not his fault. The car is a complete write off. My sister and I went to get the keys from the car amd I always thought cars were suppose to be safe. There is no front end left, the engine had been pushed towards the driver the right front wheel was where my Dads legs were. He was driving looking at the car the driver should be in bad shape, but he's not relatively speaking
Right now I'm at my sister house, but like my Mum' I want to go home"

So sorry to hear this..from what you say they were very lucky to get out of the car.
Sending them both positive thoughts for a speedy recovery.

Wishing both your parents a speedy recovery

wishing all well,prays with all the family on a good out come

Sorry to hear about this Shy, but thankful for them that it was not worse. I am sure they are both also very shocked though, as you are too. Sending you all my positive thoughts and good wishes for a full recovery for both of them.

And I hope the driver who caused it (was he injured by the way) is prosecuted for careless driving or whatever your equivalent is.

Hope they will both recover soon and be back home, take care of yourself

I'm so sorry to hear this RMS, I hope they both make a full recovery as quickly as possible.

You must have been in a state of shock when you found out, I can't imagine what you must have felt like.

I'm sending my thoughts and prayers to you as well as your parents.

All my best wishes to your parents and hope they make a speedy recovery

Oh RMS I am sorry about your parent's accident. Road traumas happen so quickly and leave so many families with injuries or worse.

It is good to know that your Mum and Dad's injuries are not life threatening. Keep your spirits high and know we are all thinking about you and your family.

I do hope both you parents are well on the road to full recovery soon, Shy... and that you and your family get over the shock quickly as well, Thank goodness it wasn't any worse, but still bad enough.

Take care and ((((hugs))))))

Love

That sounds awful RMS, wishing them both a speedy recovery.

RMS, take care yourself, a nasty shock for you and your sister and more trouble to come with parents who will want to get back to doing things to soon. Good wishes to all of you and a speedy recovery.

Sorry to hear of the accident. Hopefully your parents will both recover quickly and your dad will soon be back behind the wheel, if he is comfortable with the idea of driving.

Now then. You and your sister are to look after yourselves, and don't run yourselves into the ground.

Thanks, Dad is staying in for tonight at least and Mum is looking a little better than she did last night. She was so worried about Dad that they let him see her today and now he is worried about her "she looks awful" well not as awful as last night, she looked twice her age and so fragile, and at 81 that's not good , but she looks her right age now, so an improvement, Their talking of putting her in a care home for a while cause there is no way she can come home for a while yet.

Behind the wheel my Dad is a great driver, he has two speeding tickets because if speed traps and that is it! The mean worry seems to be because the car is gone I have no way of getting anywhere unless someone drives me. On well, I guess I will survive

I'll kept you posted

Hi Shy,

I am sorry to read of this accident and hope your parents will soon be their old selves again. Best for them both to be sure they are well enough before they insist on coming home, shock can come out a few days later sometimes and if they are in hospital or a care home, they can be monitored and treated if necessary on top of the treatment they are needing at the mo.

I assume you mean you used to drive their car sometimes, won't the insurance provide a courtesy car while things are being sorted out? Don't push yourself to do any more than is necessary tho as you and your sister must be shocked too.

It's good news that their injuries aren't worse, and I hope your Dad will have the confidence to continue driving when he is well again and a new car purchased. Hope the insurance claim goes smoothly for you.

Take care,
love
