I wasn't sure if this should go in crazy drivers or here.. but I'm putting it here.
My DH was commuting home last night around 9:45 pm. Three bright lights and a hi-viz jacket.... A car came up from behind turned right in front of him at an intersection. He got bumped by the car, fell down and fractured his scapula, plus various road rash kinds of problems. Ugh!
The driver apparently didn't see him (don't know how that happened) and didn't stop. There were a couple witnesses but no one got a license plate or anything. So it's just hit and run.
DH didn't even call me- actually rode 2 miles home, came in and said, "I got hit by a car. I'm not sure I'm okay" (couldn't raise his left arm), - I drove him to the ER where we waited and waited. Eventually had to go home to sleep....he had to take a taxi home because I had to go to work.
Anyway- it was upsetting! DH should be okay in a month or so (that's what the ER doc said- will go to an orthopedic doc this week).

Oh, man.
Hope he heals up quickly and completely.

Terrible story - so sorry to hear about it. I've already passed on my comments on the fractured scapula (having had one) to your DH on the other board
, but here's sending a big hug to YOU for the scare and for the upcoming caretaking.

Oh my goodness, that's terrifying. I hope he's feeling better soon. And I really hope they find the person who did it.
I can't believe he rode home!
