You are a strong lady! 4 years ago Jan. 20th, My hubby lost control of his car on icey roads at 4:00 in the morning on his way to work and hit a guard rail, it propelled into the air and he rolled the car. He suffered a severe contusion and a concussion and he has not been the same person since. He was found by the man driving the sand truck. They had to cut him out of his seatbelt because he was upside down! You just never know what life is gonna throw at you. But it looks like you are coming through quite well.
