Yes she was drinking, no she was not driving. She was ejected, and barely alive.

 Quoting: Crazy Chicken Lady


Why WASN'T she at home?? Another douche Red State that DIDN'T do a lockdown??

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 4812794


Nope. Isn't ny a blue state? Her friends supplied the alcohol, and then decided to joyride. Yes, it was a bad decision, but guess who isn't enforcing the lockdown? Shocker.
 Quoting: Crazy Chicken Lady


It’s the FRIENDS fault

They supplied the liquor

She got in the vehicle with an inebriated driver.

Now she’s on life support.

Go figure

I'm sorry, but I'm confused. Was the accident in New York or Livonia, Michigan?

Re: My niece was in a terrible car accident. I'm drinking til I get word that she's out of surgery. Talk to me glp. *Update pg 10
This happened to me when I was 16 in the 90s.
Thrown from a car that flipped.
Head injury, broken back.

It took months but I recovered. Graduated college, and have a great job. Not even kidding, my IQ score was higher after.
That she is alive in the hospital at this moment is already a miracle, and her chances are increasing every minute.

All wishes for her and her family. I can't imagine what it's like to not be able to visit right now.

Take care, of yourself and your people.

My family, we ended when we lost my sister in 1988....Of course even then they knew. We are just finite.

Our bodies are just temporary, and this is true for all of us.

But your spirit doesn't die when your body does. You should research the near death experience if you are interested.

I am so sorry to hear about you niece. I do tarot and asked my cards how she will be doing. Do not worry. After some period of rehabilitation she will be just fine! I see family celebration rather than grief. Blessings. hf

Yes she was drinking, no she was not driving. She was ejected, and barely alive. I'm freaking out. Because of the covid bs my sister can't even go to the hospital, so she has been calling the hospital like twice an hour. My niece won't be out of surgery until 10.

It sucks. I lost a loved one in a car accident last year. I can't even imagine not being able to be there. You will be in my prayers.

I pray she'll be ok. It's beyond criminal that your sister's not allowed to be there.
 Quoting: Penny Peppers


I agree. This is one of the worst things about this virus as far as I'm concerned.

Separating family at the MOST important times!

Love your avatar haha
 Quoting: Fortunabeargirl


Yeah, that's what has me so irritated. The poor girl is up there all by herself, and they're just like,"ok!". It's just really messed up. Really? A parent can't be with their kid in probably one of the worst moments of their life... virus or no virus? Ugh.
 Quoting: Crazy Chicken Lady

I was going on about that in an earlier thread. It really gets my goat!! Even before this virus I felt VERY strongly about anyone in my God-given domain being alone at the hospital. In my family there is always at least one family member to advocate and keep an eye on things if hospitalization is necessary. Not just for my offspring, but my parents and remaining grandmother too.

This would be killing me right now, if my child were there with life threatening injuries. I just dont know what I would do. But I do know, it would be very ugly if they didnt let me in.

My heart goes out to you and you sister and your niece being alone without the comfort of her mother at her bedside. As PP said, its "CRIMINAL." Evil, I would even say, as it is our moral duty to comfort the afflicted and console the dying. I HATE THEM FOR DOING THIS ... Your sister's and niece's human rights are being violated in the worst way. And it angers me to no end ... I'm going to shut up now bc I will start ranting. Everyone focuses on the money, but it's the familial and societal impact from the tyranny that is breaking my heart!!

I think what happened is that she was in no condition for the parent to see her before they took her to surgery. It sounds like she had some bad injuries. Once she's out of surgery, a parent will certainly be permitted to see her.

I agree with you, but "normally" they would at least let family sit in the waiting room. Not this time.

I see what you're saying. I just read the article and looked for the hospital. She certainly is getting top notch care if she's at Strong. A university hospital.

Re: My niece was in a terrible car accident. I'm drinking til I get word that she's out of surgery. Talk to me glp. *Update pg 10
Had to read the entire thread to make sure your niece was still alive. First I want you to know, I am a survivor of a drunken head on collision with an 18 wheeler. Pronounced dead at the scene. Head injury, leg crushed and rebuilt and I had to learn to walk again because I wasn't suppose to get out of the wheelchair. But I am a stubborn bitch. Broken clavicle which is still broken and gives me grief. Life changed drastically. I am still not happy about it and it's been 20 years now. LOL The reason it took them so long to get to her, surgery and all, is because they won't touch you until your alcohol level goes down to a certain level. Then they will do what they have to do. But she had to wait until her blood level was better and if not, it's because she was internally bleeding. If they couldn't wait, her blood alcohol level is a problem. But obviously they seem up to it don't they? So don't worry as they are already working on her. Yeah, I was the drunk driving asshole myself. Being drunk saved my life along with the fact that I wasn't wearing a seat belt. I had to be "jaws of life" out of my car. Wasn't thrown.

Now get your printer out and print out that article about her accident and print out all the articles you find on it. Right now before they disappear. Then you tell your sister to take pictures of the accident scene and the car she was riding in if she can. Why? Because your niece will more than likely not remember this accident and she will want to know. Badly want to know. I begged my Aunt to take me to my car. I had to see it to see what it looked like. I took a picture and I still have it. I look at it every so often when I run across it. LOL Take pictures and print it all out for her. It helps or it helped me.

Since you can not be there to "see"/eyeball/look into her eyes, you need to tell your sister to get an eye doctor to look at her. Make sure nothings wrong with her eyes. I have a blown pupil and according to the doctors, I'm suppose to be blind in that eye but I'm not. Just like I'm not in a wheelchair. So the doctors are not always correct. A lot will depend on your niece. And it will be painful so she will need some encouragement. A dream. Something to look forward to when she walks again. Broken pelvic will have her on her back for a little while but when she gets up, rehab will have to be done. Rehab is very PAINFUL!!!! It must be done. Do not let her wimp out. She is strong and can do this. Yes, it might be painful for her parents and you too in empathy but it must be done. Do not let her stop until she can get no more out of rehab!!!

Damn.... Her face??? Damnnnnnn... Ok. This will be a problem. I hope she scars well and the doctors try to minimize the scarring. They should because she's the only patient. They've got the time. LOL Look up how to hide a scar. I am sure there is some type of makeup that will cover it. She's young. This is important ya know. Her face... Damn. Might want to see about saving some money for the scar removal if it's bad. Plastic surgery is expensive but sometimes it's worth it. Fake titties bad money spent, scar on face good money spent IMO. LOL

Head injury. This will be the one. Do not be surprised if she doesn't remember anything. And I'm not talking about her accident here. I'm talking about when you are sitting there and ask her something. She might answer but she might not because she might not remember what y'all were talking about. Mid stream it's gone. Sucks big time. But it is what it is. Try to see if she can still read and write. I could not read anything after my accident. Took me a year of trying to read a book. I could not remember what I read and I'm talking about right after I read it. Those little card games online where you match the cards and other little memory games. Children games really but hey, gotta start somewhere. This will help with her memory retraining. If she can still read and write, paper and pen. She is to write down how she feels, what she wants to remember, believe me, she will want an outlet for her anger. She will be angry at times. Very angry. She will go through the DADA. Denial, anger, depression, acceptance and not necessarily in that order. And it lasts for years. This is going to effect her for life unfortunately. Damn... her face... Yes, as a female, that is important. You know it is. How pretty was she? The prettier she was the worse it's going to be. People will stare. Tell your sister, she is not going to want to go out because people are rude, crude and will stare at her. They cut off my hair. All my beautiful hair. I was so upset. My hair damn it.....

If she survives this, the head injury will be what is the problem. It does things. I remember how I was "before". I know how stupid I am now. I hate it actually. I hated the pity looks. So don't do that. You be a bear and fierce. Don't pity her no matter how much she wants it. She gets no pity. That's done. She needs to work and she needs someone to push her, not pity her. PUSH her!!!!

If she gets angry and mean/cruel, ignore her. Go away for a while until she is no longer mean to you. You tell her because this is the way I looked at it. My Mom asked how I was taking it so well and not throwing a tantrum like everyone thought I would do. I told her, "I'm miserable. Why should I make everyone around me miserable too? There's nothing they could do and I did this to myself. I can not blame anyone else for this mess. My fault." My fault... All my own fault.... Messes with me that does....

Anyway, things have changed. Your sister will need a break during this. If there is any way you can get up there for a little while to spell her, she would appreciate it. I had my Mom, my Aunt and my Dad. I lived with my sister and her family along with my parents because of my accident. I put out a lot of people. My poor niece, I took over her bedroom as she was a senior and graduated that spring. My parents took over my nephew's bedroom. LOL Sucked for them I know but she's never complained to me about it. Don't know if she was told not to but she was always sweet about it to me. I lived there at least 6 months ya know. Basically all her senior year really. Of course, rehab was 4 hours one way, every other day. Sucks to not have medical insurance. LOL

They will get the driver for this. The driver and her are the only ones that will be touched by this. And the driver might turn on her because she is going to be the reason their legal woes are so bad. And who is going to pay the hospital bills? You need to find out the driver's insurance to get those bills paid. Your niece does not need to worry about being in debt too. Bankruptcy is calling her name. Tell your sister not to sign on that dotted line. Your niece is over 18 isn't she? Her bills, not her parents. The bills will add up. Please get the insurance info or sue the driver because she should not be the only one paying here. Sucks to think of this but someone must and that would be YOU!!!!

I hope she wakes up and is normal but do not expect that. Head injuries do things to you. Damn.. her face... I know that seems to be what I'm obsessing over but I can tell you she will be too. She's young. Her face matters. Damn... Makeup girlie, makeup.... Get on it. I hope that scar it tiny, tiny, tiny. Damn.... TINY!!!!!

I will add her to my nightly prayers. She will need it for a while. For strength. It will take lots of will power and strength to get through this. Tell you sister, she will need some different clothes now. Something that buttons up in the front so she can change her own clothes when she's able to. No pants. Dresses only for a while as she will not be able to wear pants for a while and she will be going to rehab. Dresses and shave her legs please. I could not shave my legs and it was so embarrassing for me for a while. Now I don't care if I am hairy but at that time, it was so important to me so be prepared to shave her legs and under her arms if she needs help. And she will, at least with the legs.

I'm not gonna mention how BORED I was laying in that bed for months. BORED BORED BORED BORED BORED!!!!!!!! Crafts or something helps when you are laying in bed. I learned to play online when I was hurt. Never wanted to play online until them but I was BORED!!!! And my Mom was into it although she gave it up for me because back then, it was dialup and I didn't have any money so I used those free discs monthly for internet and took over the phone line. LOL I was so messed up. LOL I called one of those "pay lines", horoscope thingie, and talked for a couple hours and it cost my Mom a little money but I only did that once. Don't know what I was thinking but the dude was a great listener. LOL Oh well, I was ashamed of myself for that but too late. Oh well. Things we do when we are upset sometimes are a mess too. LOL

It will be OK!!!! That's what you need to remember. It will be OK!!! This too shall pass. Count on it. God promises it. And he will not put anything on you that you can not handle. So your niece can handle this and so can you and your sister. God will help you. He helped me and is still helping me. I rely on him a whole lot these days and since my accident. He's my strength. Be strong. No hangover or it's hair of the dog in the morning. LOL Water. Water keeps the hangovers away. Sweet drinks give you a hangover. Drink some water before going to bed and the hangover won't be as bad. Take it from an old drunk that doesn't drink anymore. LOL Not since my accident anyway. LOL stoner My sister kept me in pot during my accident and recovery. It helped a lot and still does. LOL
