I am Alive & Well!

West Haven, Connecticut
December 18, 2017 8:35am CST
I havnt been on myLot for a while and today decided to log on and found about 9 messages of concerned mylotters asking me about my whereabouts. I am alive and well and sorry I have not been online. I was involved in a rear end accident where a drunk driver crashed into me while I was parked at a red light going about 70 miles an hour. I had to go to therapy and get knee surgery aside from two broken ribs and a dislocated shoulder. It was very tough for me and I thank god I came out of that accident alive. I am going to get back into myLotting and I hope to catch up with you all. The above picture is of my car after the accident.

A bunch of us were wondering where you were! What a scary ordeal but thank goodness you are ok (though it sounds like you went through a lot with the recovery process). Thinking of you and your family as you continue to heal up!

What a bummer @BACONSTRIPSXXX I hope he loses his right to drive. The price for the Kia sounds expensive. But you have a great attitude, hopefully you will receive something really wonderful this season.

That is terrible! I hope that drunk driver faces the courts. Thank God you came out of it alive. However.,It is awful that drunk and careless drivers can cause so much pain to other road users who follow the rules.
