Reed's family in serious car accident

[Valerie]

Don't think I could do that.

I was thinking the same thing....He returned??

Who knows if the article is accurate though.

The night my mom had a heart attack my dad came home, some men can't handle these situations. If he did return I am guessing it wasn't because he didn't care, it was probably because he didn't know what to do with himself.
My thoughts are with him and his family, and hopefully they make a fast recovery.

I hear ya...You're right. I didn't mean to say it meant he didn't care, even if he did return.


The way the writer worded it made me wonder though because I bet he didn't return yet.

Upon receiving word of the accident around 4:15 p.m., Reid left a closed-door health-care meeting for the hospital, returning to the capitol later to continue.

 

[Article 15]

A broken neck and back at 69 ain't no joke.

Shit, it ain't no joke at 23.

Well, shit. At what age exactly DOES it become funny?

I mean, if someone breaks their back, I wanna know whether to commiserate or point and laugh...now I'm in a conundrum.

Three?

You know.....saw kinda the same thing happen with my Grandfather when my Grandmother died. He'd come in at his self designated times, sit with her for an hour, and then go back to the house and visit with friends and family.

He knew it was out of his hands, and he had to trust the doctors. Also, he found it better to be somewhere with someone he could talk to, that could talk back, rather than sitting at her bedside, feeling bad.

On the morning she died? They called him in early and he went. I got the call at 6:30 am that my Grandmother was going quick. Almost made it in to the hospital on time, but the car gave out and I had to wait for gas (I was on leave......not my car).

I understand why Reid did what he did.

The accident was three hours ago.

His wife and daughter are currently fully medicated and sleeping I'm sure.

I think it is hard for some men, and it is hard for them to handle their emotions. While the women are the ones who have to be in control, and then loose it later. And either way is not wrong.
Pain is a terrible thing, and we all deal with it in our own way.

Like I said......better to have something occupy your mind with complex tasks than to sit there in pity and misery, wondering if you could have done anything to prevent it.

Pretty much!
I know if my child was in a serious car accident, I would have to stay busy so I didn't go insane.

My wife says I have 2 emotions.

Asshole and comedian.

I say that those aren't emotions, those are states of being. She says "smartass".

So I guess I have 3 then.

Prayers for his Wife and Child... Very Tragic...



peace...

I hope she recovers soon.

Wonder if the GOP is gonna use this as a way to say that a public option isn't needed?

Unfortunately Rush probably will Tomorrow...

I Hope he doesn't...



peace...

Just heard it was a semi tractor trailer that rear ended them. The driver has been charged with reckless driving.

 

[WillowTree]

My very best wishes for a full recovery.

I'd say... My Sister was Killed in the 80's from a Collision like that... Truck into her Car... Her Car Exploded...

The Criminal in the Truck was given House Arrest...

Later a Whoring Charge put her in Prison.



peace...

Wow. I wouldnt wish that on the most horrible person in the world, let alone Senator Reid and His family. I hope the family recovers.

Odd that there isnt more news coverage...

 

[xotoxi]

I saw the topic and thought Ralph Reed, not Harry Reid.

Sucks no matter which Rede it happened to.

I was thinking Andre Reed.

Thoughts...them.

 

[AquaAthena]

Very sorry to hear this news. Wishing for full recovery.

 

[jillian]

wishing them a speedy recovery

 

[Article 15]

I'm not sure how much of a recovery there is for a 69 year old woman with a broken back and neck.

I'm not sure how much of a recovery there is for a 69 year old woman with a broken back and neck.

I'd think it depends on how severe the break and whether there's spinal cord involvement.
