That's horrible. That poor woman.

LessThanZero

Yeah, I feel terrible for her.

This may be a very unpopular opinion, but I don't know if I could remain friends with those people or at least not initially. I know it was an accident, but I think the anger and sadness I would feel would be directed outwardly towards them and it would take a long time of thinking and therapy for me to get past it.

I'm not really the type to hold a grudge either. But that's so life changing that I believe I'd have a really hard time with it.

<div>Nah, I'd probably feel similar.</div>

Wow! Thats terrible. I see where you are coming from LTZ it would be hard to forgive and forget this... I dont honestly know if I would be able to, I am a pretty forgiving person, and would like to think I could, but I just dont know. It has changed no only her wedding, but her ENTIRE life!

Ha! I didn't even notice until you pointed it out.

It makes me think of the video for "Don't Come Around Here No More" by Tom Petty.

I work with a man whose niece, her husband, their 18 month old daughter and their unborn baby (8 1/2 months along) were all killed in a head-on collision yesterday.  It's so tragic.  Reminds you not to take any part of life for granted.

Oh Loopy I just heard that on the news, so sad.

There was a young man here, 27, that just got married 2 1/2 months ago who dropped dead at Chipotle a few days ago. I cant even imagine.

This poor girl, I'm so glad to see her FI is standing by her.

reils

This is horrible. I couldn't even begin to imagine.

I agree with you LTZ. I am not sure that I could be friends with her afterwards either. Especially at the beginning.

Oh gosh, that's terribly sad.

And you're definitely right about it making you more grateful. This is going to sound stupid in comparison, but a couple of years ago I slipped and fell in a restaurant because someone had apparently spilled their drink all over the floor. I busted up my ankle very badly. I needed 2 surgerys to put it back together and I was on crutches for over 4 months. Of course I knew it wasn't a permanent situation, but I felt kind of depressed for a while about it. It made me realize how much I never think about how great it is to be able to get up and walk around and do whatever I want. I cried like a baby the first day I was able to take steps again.

I can't imagine what it would be like to have no end in sight. I don't know that I would handle it very well.

LilMissScareAll

she seems to have a really positive outlook. I don't know if I could even be as close to nonchalant as that girl is about that situation.

ichellemay1

Wow.  Her attitude is beyond amazing.  It really pisses me off that the medical coverage is so squirrly that she (and others like her) can't get the care they need without bankrupting themselves.  That's a whole 'nother rant, though.

I sent this article to my MoH, with a comment requesting no fancy horseplay for my bach... here was her reply:

"If I cause your paralyzing spinal injury I give you permission to mail the contents of your catheter to me weekly, just to remind me what a fucking douchebag I am.

That's it. We're going to asian massage where they rub your back, rub your tits, maybe get you off, and it's only $20 bucks. The cheapest, safest, funest thing I can think of."

  So nice to have a MoH I don't regret! 

TurtlesAllTheWayDown

I would have trouble forgiving my BM too. Also, if I was the girl who did that to her, I'd have trouble living with myself.

dawnmarie1279

That is so sad. Its nice to see her FI sticking by her.

K Byte

That is so sad. I read the whole article and it really seems like the girl has a great attitude about it, at least the best that she can. The wedding had to be postponed so that she could stay on Medicare as her fiance's health insurance as a schoolteacher wouldn't pay for her rehab. =/

And then I read the comments section and I was just sad for humanity ... stupid internet.

Lenore2010

I think this girl's attitude is amazing, too. 

I have to be the beotch who agrees with the person who posted the comment about being stupid enough to push someone in two feet of water. Yes, I understand they were all drinking and it was an accident, blah blah... My mind however goes back to TWO feet of water? That is not much better than pushing someone on a sidewalk.

I am glad they forgive her and all, but I definitely could not be so generous.
