The Sa Wasteland

[writeoff]

well my friend had a shattered vertebrae and had surgery yesterday on it...........im the worst person in the whole wide world

I'm sorry to hear about your friend Cara and hope the surgery went well.

I understand you feeling guilt, it is only natural. I once sat in the car with a lady, kept her calm and phoned her husband for her to inform him of the accident that she had just been in - an accident that I caused - while waiting for an ambulance to arrive. Later I mailed her all the drivers' details as 4 cars were involved and wished her a rapid, painless and full recovery. Of course I know how long neck injuries take to heal and know that she probably endured a lot a pain, and may have limited mobility as a result. Some time later she called me and thanked me for the letter and for sitting with her in the car until the paramedics could load her into an ambulance.

Unfortunately these things happen. They are called accidents for a reason as there is no intent to harm. Don't be too harsh on yourself and just try to be supportive for your friend, because he will need it and only the two of you know what happened and shared the experience. Make sure that you have someone to support you too.

For the record the accident I caused was as a result of using a mobile phone. I was working for a pharmaceutical company and was trying to call a restaurant in Victor Habor to book a dinner. I was using a car kit with microphone and speaker and had pressed the call button while stationary waiting for a green light. The lights changed to green and whilst accelerating the number came back as engaged and I looked at the phone to press the red button and disconnect the call. In that time frame the 3rd car in front of me stopped. To this day I don't know why as the lights were still green. Anyway the result of travelling downhill, accelerating and looking at the phone for a split second meant that I reacted too slowly and hit the car in front causing a chain collision into 3 other cars. The lady was in the front one.

PS - I was driving a company car - a new 2002 VX Commodore that I had complained about twice to the dealership about its poor brakes and suspension under braking.

PPS - I never use my phone when driving. All calls can be returned. All messages can be read and answered later. I exacerbated injuries to my own spine and cause injuries to others whilst using the phone in the correct, legal manner. Never take anything for granted when driving.

4 days of being awake in Melbourne then jetting back for FMF on Monday was the reason I think haha. My body couldn't go for that 5th day.

10am yesterday and half a bottle of Vodka later I was rolling around on Rach's lawn with her huge dog lol... When I say huge dog, I mean this thing:

95 kilo's... shit weighs more than me lol.

Then I vomited out the front of the cop shop on the way to FMF and nearly got arrested for that. Wasn't good.

Look at this:

That's me holding onto some random guy. I don't even know him. That's the result of going too hard too early haha.

Melbourne nightlife is just so much better than here. We could hit town at 9pm, party, come back to the hotel at 5am, drink, head out at 6am and so many places were still cranking.

I cant go see him knowing that it was my fault for him being in the hospital. if i only did someonthing else that could of prevented the whole accident, slowed down more or braked more i dunno there should have been something i could have done.

but he will feel bad if you dont go and visit him in the hospital.....think about it.....mistakes happen from everybody, so you going and seeing him will at least put his mind to rest knowing that you do care for how he is doing.....you are being too harsh on yourself Cara....just chill and go and have a chat with your mate in hospital....would be good for the both of ya
