difficult child borrowed husbands truck tonight and lost control of the truck and ran off the road into a ditch. It must not have been that hard an impact as the airbag did not deploy. She called us and when we got there a police officer was already at the scene. It was exactly one year to the day that she got a DUI. Luckily, this time she had not been drinking and said that she was looking for a CD and hit the edge of the road and then swerved off the road.
Anyway, I was more than a little mad and she knew it. In the middle of my vent, she said that she had hit her head and that things were blurry. With difficult child you never know what is true or not and when I said that I would take her to the hospital she said that she didnt need to go.
She does not have health insurance so Id rather not take her unless it is absolutely necessary. I have checked her eyes and the pupils are small and evenly dilated. She is walking and talking fine and has no bump on her head.
Is there anything else that I should watch for? She wants to go to bed but that is not abnormal for her. She sleeps all of the time anyway. Should I wake her periodically tonight? Check her pupils when I wake her?
Any advice would be appreciated.
by the way, husband is still out waiting for the tow truck. There are at least two flat tires and the axel doesnt look good. Oh, and difficult child got a ticket for failing to maintain the lane.
Another Merry Christmas at the Kathy813 house.
