Linda I add my horror! A friend was knocked over in a similar manner some years ago breaking her left leg. The driver was turning right and looking to the left ... He r dog was ready for retirement and this hastened the process.

Hi Linda and Art. OMG! That's absolutely horrible! I can't believe That punk didn't get arrested! I'll save my comments on the thoughts that were going through my head about that jerk while I was reading this! I'm glad to hear that all and all you all will be okay. You, John and Pat are all lucky to be alive. Unfortunately one of my best friend's fathers wasn't so lucky. He was walking down the street at twilight, and stumbled over a branch and fell, from what it looked like to police. "He then was hit by a car and killed. At least that driver showed remorse. She was a lady in her 60s, and didn't see him until it was too late. She even sent flowers to the funeral home. This happened about a week and a half before Christmas in 2005. Anyway, you all take care, and here's hoping for speedy recoveries for all! 73 Aimee Lewis KK4JHF "Be well, do good work and keep in touch."

Hi all, I've gotten very behind on this list, but its because art and I were hit by an automobile last Saturday (a week ago) as we were crossing an intersection. I got some bruising and scrapes and art got a broken foot and a fractured knee (on the same leg). The car knocked me down and then bumped my dog Shirley who got some bruised ribs. She is doing ok physically, the real test is when we go out into traffic again. Art got knocked down in the right lane and the tire of the car stopped on his right foot. Art's jj is ok. Art will be in a wheelchair and not able to put weight on his foot for seven weeks. The driver of the vehicle is a seventeen-year old who was somewhat impaired with an alcohol level of between 02 and 08 but didn't get arrested for drunk driving. He got a citation for wreckless driving as he admitted to the cop he was looking at his IPod. We have hired an attorney. We are grateful to be alive. Hugs and 73 Linda C.
