I thought I'd write here mainly because need to let it out. My brother was in a serious motor bike accident yesterday at around 5pm. From what I've gathered a car was turning out into the main road and hit my brother. Don't blame the woman that hit him for a second - she stopped immediately and was more than helpful with police etc I just feel incredibly sorry for her. He's got a broken wrist and severely broken leg. He had one op last night, has another for thursday and possibly faces more.
Have never been more terrified in my life. Had a phone call from police telling me he was basically dying (broken ribs, leg, wrist, internal injuries..) and to get to QA as fast as I could. Was at my friend's at the time and apparently I just suddenly went really pale and started shaking really badly. Was shaking too badly to drive so my friend took me. Went up to QA and finally discovered what I gather to be the correct assessment.
I just can't get over how bad it could've been.. might've been.. Doesn't help I'm completely terrified of hospitals so going to see him is horrible. I just feel so bizarre, so out of the picture...
I would really appreciate everyone's thoughts and prayers for my brother. he's going to be ok, but there's a high chance he'll need plastic surgery and at the moment he can't feel his leg and there's a chance it'll be permanently numb. Just *anything* really... even if the next time you see a motorcyclist you take one more look, you check the road one more time before you pull out onto that street... ANYTHING.. I just don't want ANYONE to ever get that phone call, ever be that poor woman who had to get out her car and see my brother lying on the ground, ever have to do the terrifying dash to A&E wondering what the hell's happening..
You'll never think it'll happen to you.
It does. And it's the scariest moment of your life.
