First I heard about your accident. Damn, that sounds scary. Actually, it gets scarier.......you know how after the summer the roads in S. CA are slick with oil and gas and the first rain in the fall means a million fender benders. Well that's what caused the accident.....a woman lost control of her car on a slick Pasadena freeway, hit the curb embankment and went flying into the air. Meanwhile I was sitting on the on ramp waiting to go when her car came plowing into my side taking off the roof of my car and then traveled up the embankment, turned around and came back down, plowing into the front of my car and causing them to both burst into flames. The police and fire people assumed I was decapitated until they saw me moving around in the car. By the time I came too....there was a huge crowd standing around with all kinds of fire trucks and police cars and red lites flashing. Being the shy person that I was, I wanted to get out of there so I tried to get back into my car. Of course, they stopped me and took me to an ambulance on a stretcher. Two days later when I saw the car it looked it had fallen off a mountain. Now this is where it gets really scary. Flash back 8 months.........some friends had convinced me to go see a psychic. I went along seeing it as a big joke. At the time, I figured all psychics were charlatans....and they may be, but this one was uncannily accurate about a lot of things. At the end of the session, the last thing she said to me was that something significant was to happen to me in October. She wouldn't elaborate but she looked worried. Nonetheless, I completely forgot about it until the accident. A few days after the accident.......I called her. As soon as I said my name, she said......."you had your accident". I was shocked. She then asked me the extent of my injuries. I told her. She told me that the extent of my injuries indicated "how far I had gone in learning my lessons". I was really shaken when I get off the phone. Every police officer, sheriff, fireman etc had told me that I should have died in that accident. The fact that I was able to walk away with only minor scratches and a piece of glass in my left eye was nothing short of a miracle in their eyes. Scary story, huh?
