Alright so yesterday I get a phone call from my friend’s work they say “Angie was just brought to the emergency room and we can't get a hold of her family”. I ask what happened - Apparently Angie passed out and they couldn't get her back conscious. So they had to call 911. Soon after I got off the phone with them Angie called me and said she was in the ER and they were running some tests. I left work and went to the hospital. After a few hours they released her and said go to your doctor’s office. So off we went to the doctor’s office – her primary couldn’t believe they let her go. She has a heart murmur! So the doctor set up some tests for Thursday and told her no driving (she could pass out again at any moment) no working no exercising no nothing – sit still! It had been a horrible weather day all day and Angie lives north of me. (More snow) So we set off to her house. What should have taken us an hour to get there took us an hour and 45 minutes to get about a quarter of a mile from her house. Yup a quarter of a mile and guess what happened we got stuck! Literally the car wouldn’t go forward or backward at least not intentionally! Yes you read that right not “intentionally”!!! We called AAA for a tow truck and while waiting with the car in park and the emergency break on we were going backwards!!! Not a lot but enough to notice. So the tow truck gets there and as he is passing us he starts sliding all over the place!!! The tow truck ended up stuck too! Add on the 2 other cars that were on the road and the township truck you know the one that lays salt down yup him too! Once the tow truck got himself unstuck he started working on my car again. He ended up having to back down the road then reverse up the road to us!! After another 45 minutes he got our car onboard and took us the quarter of a mile up the road and dropped the car at the top of her driveway. So needless to say I am tired today and I don’t wanna drive in this weather any more! Good thing I am moving back to Florida this month!! So what about you have you ever been stuck? Tell me about it! Ever got that phone call that makes your heart drop into your feet? Tell me about it!

I have gotten stuck before. I got stuck and the snow plow that was coming the opposite direction got stuck too. I ended up getting a ride with a cop to the station(where he was headed) and my mom came and got me from there. My car got towed and we waited a few days to go get it since the roads were still really bad.
