My daughter's mother-in-law got hit by a car today

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.

Do you think it's possible that horrid wreck might save her life? They might not have found the tumor. Although, I guess it might not be malignant. I can't imagine her pain. The worst place for an injury is always the head.

Oh my goodness, she hit badly her face, I am so sorry. May be she will have her life saved if they found the tumor at early stage, but at which price.

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

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.
