here is some medical explanation, I think. But at the time I just didn’t know how I had done it. I stuck to my story, as I still do. I saw no red light. We’re I on a jury hearing the evidence I would say yeah he ran a red light whether he saw it or not. Retrospectively, I conjecture that I had an intrusive visualization of a chicken murder I had just heard about from home. No, no police involvement. Just be honest and stick with what you saw at the time. Cops respect that. No conjecture or extended conversation, especially with insurers. Their investigators lean hard for any crack or variation. Just refer them to what you told the cop on the scene. For what’s worth, this seems to be a rite of passage about our age. Me, you, my next brother last month. My older brother fatally last year. Take care.

That stuff is tough. Last road accident, no injury, kept me from driving for 6 months.

Psycho-emotional reasons? Or did they suspend your license? I’m a bit worried about that

It all sounds so hard. Where you broke two wrists, I broke one. Where you now have all these injuries, I am recovering from a much more minor knee injury/surgery. But I empathize, and I know that these kinds of injuries combined with growing older are very complicated emotionally, if not physically. Yeah, accidents happen. I hope you recover quickly. Oh, and I read the entire Wheel of Time series and I agree with your assessment!

I didn’t read the whole series of the wheel of Time. I dropped out around book 7 or 8, and soon after that Robert Jordan died. I thought that was that. I heard Brandon Sanderson finished it up, but I haven’t attempted to go back. The Amazon production is gorgeous though.

Oh my. I'm sorry this happened, and I'm glad it wasn't more serious. I hope you heal quickly and that the pain is minimal. But yeah, accidents happen.
