Good thing + Bad thing

Good news.<br>My braces shall be off (most likely) by January or February. AFTER THREE YEARS! (And then some, because I've had them on and off PLUS a retainer-thing that was a pain in the bum).<br><br>Bad news.<br>One of my old friends got into a bad car accident. They believe they were hit by a drunk driver.<br>Her mom's face has gotten messed and broke her pelvis and wrist.<br>Her little sister broke her jaw (possibly) and... I can't remember what else.<br>She broke her back, and went for her fourth surgery today (since Sunday, when she was hit). She may not be able to walk again.<br>Everyone's upset about it. She's in a hospital all alone, and her mother and sister are in a different one.<br>I disapprove of anybody doing ANYTHING that could put harm to anybody, and drunk driving is a huge issue to me. I'm paranoid about driving or even walking on the side of the road sometimes due to drunk drivers. What's happened couldn't piss me off more. That drunk driver could have killed them. He/She might have taken the ability for my old friend to be able to walk. How is that fair? I don't know if the drunk driver was hurt or not.

    First off I will say, Congrats on getting your braces off! It's a wonderful feeling to not have them on.<br><br>Drunk driving happens everywhere and it sucks. The best we can do is hope that the police do their job to the best of their abilities and report anyone who may be driving impaired. Even if you don't know, but suspect you can call and they will look into it.<br><br>I can see why you are afraid to drive especially with the Holiday Season around the corner it's good to be aware, but the more nervous you are driving can actually make it more dangerous for you. Trust me, I remember my first winter driving and I was so scared and nervous that when I hit an icy patch of road I overcorrected, forgot to not step on the brakes and ended up in a ditch. You have to be calm, but aware of your surroundings.<br><br>The best thing you can do is to be there for your friend. Don't treat her any different then before, don't cry in front of her because I am sure she is doing enough of that when she is alone. Just be supportive. She is still the same person as before the accident, just she might not be able to walk. If her friends start treating her differently then it will be even harder for her to adjust and make it harder even to go back to school when she is ready. I'm sure there is a reason that she was taken to a different hospital, but let the family deal with that. <br><br>My mom had a car accident about 18 years ago where it messed up her face, broke her pelvis/arm etc... The doctors told her she would never walk again, but guess what! My mom is more active now then back then. Doctor's can be wrong sometimes, I hope they are wrong about your friend too. I hope that she can walk again and I know that miracles can happen.
