A couple of weeks ago my sister Jo had an unfortunate car accident. She had been suffering from some really bad headaches/migraines for weeks on end and finally decided to go to the doctor to get it sorted out. Her doctor is down a driveway, where it evens out on 3 different levels, with rows of offices on each level. At the top, there is the Chemist. The doctor gave her a prescription and she left the doctor, drove back up the driveway to the chemist and started turning into the chemist car park but blacked out as she turned. She came to with the chemist staff rubbing her arm and trying to turn her engine off. She had driven straight through the chemist windows, leaving only her boot outside of the chemist. No-one was hurt thankfully and Jo herself was not injured in any way but was certainly in shock. The chemist called me and I raced there to meet the ambulance and Police that had arrived. Jo was taken to hospital and ended up staying in for 6 days, while they did a whole lot of test, including brain scans for any bleeds, tumours etc, but finally got the all clear and was released. Her doctor is now looking into treatment for the migraines.
I couldn't post it any earlier, as my parents were overseas and we were trying to avoid the news getting to them, as we knew they would probably have flown home, so we kept the whole incident quiet until they arrived back on Tuesday. Jo also didn't want it to hit facebook etc, so have kept it completely of there, and promised I would only put it on here in my personal blog.
Boy what a week that was!
You know a drive thru chemist is actually a good idea :-) Jo may be onto something there.
