Our car
(continued from Our accident)
I remember Karen talking to one of the EMTs like she knew him. It turned out she did – sort of.
I think the encounter went something like this:
Karen immediately recognized one of the EMTs when she saw him through the windshield as they were coming around the front of the car.
As they started checking her over, she asked, “Are you Larry?”
Somewhat surprised, he said that he was. When Karen told him, “I know your wife, Vivian,” he asked how she knew her.
Karen replied, “Blogging, email, quilting.”
He responded with another question, “Are you C.J. or Karen?”
Karen, C.J., and Vivian had been commenting on each others blogs for quite some time. Last year, they met for lunch and had arranged to do it again this week – tomorrow, in fact. Karen recognized Larry because Vivian had just posted a photo of him making Christmas breakfast.
On her blog, Karen says, “– it felt really reassuring to me even though I had never met him. It was like I knew I was in good hands.”

Karen is getting around a lot better today. Her chest still hurts a lot and she has pains all over, kind of like the all over pains you get from the flu, except she doesn’t have the flu.
Yesterday, I went to the wrecker yard and got all of our stuff out of the car. It’s seven years old and I’d be very surprised if it could be fixed for the approximate $5,000 the car is worth on Kelly Blue Book. Unfortunately, I don’t have any of the insurance information for the driver of the other car. It’ll be in the police report, which my insurance company is supposed to obtain. The other driver was cited by the police officer which establishes fault for the insurance purposes.
This car was the one we towed behind our motor home, so if it’s totaled, we’ll have make sure to get a replacement that can be towed.
