While I was at work I heard on the radio that a pedestrian had been hit on a crosswalk in town. When I got home my daughter called me and told me that it was her mother-in-law. She was taken to the hospital. She went face first into the pavement. They did a cat scan. She has to have reconstructive surgery on one of her eyes, she has three broken bones in her cheeks and a broken rib. If that wasn't bad enough they found a tumor on her lung while doing the cat scan. The poor sole, she has a long road ahead of her.

@LadyDuck The broken rib is giving her the most trouble but she is tough. She is handling everything so well.

Yes I guess it is a good thing they discovered the tumor. I am going to go visit her today and see how she is doing.

Oh that is terrible! At least she got to enjoy the wedding before all that happened. One time years ago I went to a wedding of my then husband's friend. The friend's mother was running all
around the venue in a pink dress.she was killed shortly after the wedding in an auto accident.

Oh that's sad,!! But good thing that the lung tumor was found. Prayers for her fast recovery. Hopefully the tumor is just a benign one and not malignant.

@Happy2BeMe I hope at least the guy that hit her paid for everything since the driver has to respect the people crossing there

Oh my gosh, this is terrible what has happened:( But, maybe this accident was a wake-up call, the doctors finding this tumor on her lung! It had been overlooked:(
