Back for a short time
Back for a short time It seems like it has been forever since I posted on my Blog. I thought maybe I could get to my life story but I have had so many other things interrupt that for months now. I am so out of sinc with the story and probably won't be back to it until October. We are leaving tomorrow for our annual trip to Vegas to buy clothes for the shop and we will also celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary there on the 26th. Wayne is doing somewhat better. He still hasn't had two of the tests his doctors ordered but there isn't time for those either. We did have a great time in Mexico. It was very relaxing and a couple we met on our cruise last October joined us there for a week. They are Americans living in San Miquel, Mexico. They took the bus up because they were nervous about driving up. I will post a few pictures in this segment from that vacation. We were there a month but Wayne's hands are so shakey we didn take many pictures at all. We left our car with a friend that lives in Orange country and flew out of John Wayne Airport. When we arrive home we pick up the car and started our two and half hour drive hom to Palm Desert. We had landed rather late so we had dinner in Newport Beach before we started out. Wayne has driven that drive a dozen or more times but he still asks me for directions. There is a change of freeways about half way the we take in the direction towards Indio. Wayne always drives in the fast lane so I told him he should start moving over. He asked how far it was and I told him two miles. He blew off and stayed in the fast lane. The traffic was kind of backed up and I saw the turn off ahead and he was already in the wrong lane and headed toward Los Angeles. He had slowed the car down and I yelled at him to just take that turn and we could circle back. I literally can not remember exactly what happened. I had my eyes closed in fear because he turned sharply to his right and went of a curb that separated the two freeways. The sounds that came from under the car were frightening. The fact that we didn't hit another car or we weren't hit was a miracle. I screamed at him to get to the side of the road and he said he needed to get off the freeway The dash board was lite up like a Christmas tree with warning ect.Some how he managed to get off before the car just stopped. He called Mercedes for roadside assistance. I was sobbing and I wanted to knock him in the head. I don't know and will never know why he did what he did. We were towed to the Mercedes dealership in Riverside and luckily before they closed. They actuall arranged for a shuttle to take me to Palm Desert. Wayne got a room for the night so he could get a rental car the next morning. He left and came home. He said he thought is was something to do with the air bags. I asked him if he has lost his mind. I asked if he realized what he had traveled over. I wil just so relieved that I han't be killed because if we were hit they would have hit the passenger side. Even more than that I was relieved we didn't hit anyone. I don't remember anyone slamming on their brakes or anything. It was just like the freeway opened up for him to get across So they checked out the car and phoned and told him it was totalled. There was engine damage, frame damaged. The entire undercage was destroyed. That car was in perfect condition before. So he asked his insurace to replace the car. It was a 2008 s 550 Sedan. I don't know what he told the insurance company but it must have been a big lie because they gave him a check that was 10k more than he paid for his car. He had brought that one used. So he spend four days driving around LA and OC county and low and behold he found one that is a 2011s500, with 50k less miles than was one his, even the same color. He has the Mercedes dealer check it out and they said it was perfect. One owner and no accidents. Just one little scratch on the drivers door. Unfrickin believable. So we will drive it to Vegas and when we return from there we have four days home before we leave for a month in Kauai. I don't know about him but I am going to relax. Our friend from Mexico are flying over to spend two weeks with us there. They are a lot of fun and just friends, not swingers. They are so funny though and I love them. So hopefully nothing else happens and I can continue my story in October. My love to all of you that read me and don't just look at me. I appreciate that so very much. |

I'm so very glad that you did not get hurt. You are extremely lucky. It could have been much worse. Like you said, you could have been killed or crippled. I hope you have a great time on your travels and you continue to be safe. Love....

Hi Judy welcome back for what little time you will be back. I am so glad that you weren't hurt in the fiasco of a wreck you were in. None of my business but I don't think I would let Wayne be driving anymore or not be riding with him. I do hope things will be ok in Vegas and then back before you go to Kauai. Now you talking about luck, how lucky can one person be to get the same type of car just three years newer than the one that was wrecked and the same color and 50k less miles on it. I know you were so shaken up and again am glad you weren't hurt. Good to see you on here again and am still hanging in with Dixie..Hugs........Jerry..Be careful going to Vegas..
