I'm mad at at careless drivers today, big time.
Today my wife was crossing Main Street in her electric wheelchair - and she
was struck by an ignorant driver who made a right turn without looking.
He hit her leg supports, and spun her around like a top. The guy sat in his
car for a long time before getting out to see if she was OK, but didn't
offer her any help - left her crying there in the middle of a major
intersection. Nobody else stopped to help her.
I swear I feel like crying when I think about it.
Anyways, she's not hurt, just depressed about it and shaken up - and so am
I.
Tomorrow we are going to make a police report.
