to want to..........................

[Psychomum5]

............boast really loudly about my darling husband.....

I have had a bad shock today while driving home from taking DD1 for her MRI scan.

I was going thro traffic lights, or rather, had been waiting and then mine turned green so I pulled away.

at that same moment some fucking silly teenage boy rode thro his (while on red), round two cars, and right in front of me.

I jumped on the brakes, plus jerked my neck in shock at the same time, and screamed.....ten drove on and pulled over, whiel the bloody kid glared at me and rode off!!!!

DD1 was also shaking and immediately rang daddy......we are both extra-ordinarily nervous ever since our last car accident october last year.

DH spoke to me to calm me down, and told me to drive somewhere safe (as I wasn;t at that point being right by traffic lights), and then ring him back.

the pain tho from me jerking my neck was huge......it went from my left shoulder, up and over my head, right to my left eye, and I was starting to lose feeling in my left hand (and still feels very very strange and deadlike now). I rang DH in near tears and he came and rescued us, leaving work straight away.

he then drove us home, delivered me to MIL, gave me coffee and painkillers, went and retreived his car, and since has been waiting on me.

I have been allowed early bed, unlimited MN , and even cooked and sorted out the children.

BUT

they very best thing.......

he cut up my food so I could eat one handed as my left hand has no strength in it.

what love hey....

and also, yes, my belt was on properly!!!

I do not mess with belts, I cannot trust other drivers on the roads, so I make sure we are always safe in that regards.

hey psycho.... you sound like you've had a shitty day... glad you're (mostly) ok, and your dd too.

your hubby sounds like a lovey fella....there are a few around...mine included!

sorry, missed your comment poohbar.

I am off to southampton hospital with DS2 in the morning (DH is driving)......if needs be, I will go A&E then. I know the symptoms for whiplash far too well, so I know what to look for.

thankyou tho

The belt comment was just wondering how to get so injured and such low speeds, but you did say that you had a "weak" neck.

nice to see you getting pampered you deserve it lots

aww, you lot.....sticking up for me....thankyou.

flashman.....you are a man I assume???

this is the kind of comments I expect from men sadly, they have no faith in women drivers.

I have taken steps to get confident again, I am waiting also for CBT for extra help with my fears of driving, but in the meantime I still need to drive....and I do, taking care to be very aware of people and drivers around me, which is clearly why I did not hit the boy in question, nor cause any other accident!!!

do not knock this for me, it takes a huge amount of courage to to trust other drivers out there, and try not to think that they are all out to get me.......this does not help, and is not why I started this thread.

yes I am male clearly - but this has nothing to do with are women crap drivers.

I am stopping here now - you are getting upset and I have kindly been invited to do one. I hope you get your confidence to drive back safely.

(((psychomum)))

hope you feel better in the morning, your dh sounds lovely

hope your dd is ok and not too shaken up by the crash and btw i think you did totally the right thing, you got yourself somewhere safe and then called for assistance so good on you xxxxxxx

thankyou 4madboys.

flashman.....I did not say you were calling me crap, that is your wording.

yes, I am upset......I stated quite clearly that I was in pain and upset, not that I was a danger, and you implied otherwise, and on my happy thread too......that pissed me off!!!!

altho, yes, it may be best you leave, as I may start stating forms of torture to all men instead.....!

Your husband sounds lovely

can i just say that you have a lovely family (just nosied at your profile)

Flashman:-
Point One - Psychomum did not have to be travelling at a high speed to be injured. I have had my back mangled up due to a total tosser on the road. I was stationary
Point Two - Yes her confidence is shaken. It would seem that her driving skills and reactions have not been seeing as she managed to stop, move on safely and then stop at a safer place
Point Three - Fuck Off.

Pyschomum - I know how you feel. I hope you feel unlocked tomorrow. Your DH is almost as lovely as mine . Hope dd is ok too.

god I can't help myself - but with respect you clearly agree that you have issues with confidence - and that does make it more dangerous.

But that is my lot now honest.

I do have issues with confidence

I do agree that I could (in theory) be therefore more dangerous on the roads

BUT

I am having confidence driving lessons to help, I am still having to drive, 7miles, to hospital for my DD1 to have an MRI scan, what more can I do other than what I did do....(and that is an honest questions!).

I do not think I could take any more steps to get my driving safer....and this from a 35yo woman who has been driving since I was 17yo, and three very bad crashes in 8yrs.

I defy anyone not to feel nervous after that!

oh my god you cant help yourself can you you are giving me underload syndrome you twat.now fuck off!

Well stop mentioning me by name and then i would not have to respond.

Misty peaks - I did not think she was travelling at speed - I would imagine 20 mph tops - as she said pulling off from lights.
Point 2 - Yes and??? What happens if Hubby can not come next time?

Point three - Gladly - just don't write my name and I would not have to answer your further points

And no I am not sure what else you could do - if it shock you up that much - but what do you do if your hubby can't get their next time - serious question

And I imagine that most would feel scared too. Don't you have parents or in laws that could drive you?

ok....no to parents.....mum is mentally ill and has been my entire life. I was raised by my aunt who is now elderly and also, not the bast person for me to turn to, to put it bluntly.

in-laws.......my MIL has just lost her mother, plus has heart issues, so she is not the best to call on, FIL still has yet to retire.

if I could not call DH, I have many friends (I am very lucky, I know that), who would come if I called.

if DH could not have come today, I would have called a taxi.....I am not compltely unable to sort myself out.

and why should we not call you by name.......maybe we enjoy this in a weird way!(at least I can pretend maybe that you were one of the tossers that hit me and scream at you instean!!!)

I'm sure she would have managed to get home one way or another. She appears to be a sensible woman. I think the point she was trying to make was her DH is a star because he is doing stuff he doesn't have to (because he is nice).

and yes, you tosser.....argh....

you took away my nice thread, boasting about my one in a million husband!!!!

No he hasn't. He has just reinforced the message. Some men = tossers. Some men = superheroes!!

misty.....thankyou

You're welcome. You hit a couple of nerves with your thread.

1. Been there with tossy drivers. Bought the neckbrace t-shirt
2. have a fab DH. Have a good night. Make sure DH gets a bit smoochy kiss

Yes i can see the point she was trying to make - but since when does a thread have to only stay on topic - I made a comment was she safe to drive?

if people mention me by name I feel I have to answer their points, I find it very rude when people post of a thread and then just run off - if you thought I was wrong say why or just ignore it. it is not personnel btw - you do realise that right?

And if it helps you to scream tosser and me go for it.

oops. I really meant that then!!!
