Of Platitudes and Percocet and, um, Love

I was feeling pretty good this weekend: I had managed to reach a point where I could be philosophic (as they say) about the gloomy turns that life had been taking. I found light and poetry in my reflections on death. I swore my commitment to love and light over gloom and dark. Life was giving me lemons, and I was making lemonade! Go me!

So it was with light heart and sparkling eyes that I loaded WonderBaby into our car and, with the Husband, plotted a sunny afternoon drive to a small town just outside the city, the kind of small town with cobbled streets and old stone buildings and little cafes and all the sorts of things that you find in pretty small towns that are keenly aware of the effect of their charms on romantic city-dwellers like myself. It was a sunny day, a mild day, and we were meeting friends. Maybe, later, we would find ourselves a Christmas tree. We would be light-hearted. Happy. Grateful for our wonderful life. Somewhere, I'm sure, an angel was just about to get her wings.

Or not.

We were only about fifteen minutes into our trip, still in the city, stopped at a light, when our sweet day came to a shattering end. I heard the crash, the thundering clang of metal on metal, felt my body lurch back and forward and back again. I felt my neck twist and my back wrench and heard myself scream and then all I could think was the baby the baby the baby and I didn't think about the pain in my neck as I spun around in my seat and grabbed at WonderBaby, clutching her arms, her legs, running my hands around her little neck as she stared back, wide-eyed, terrified, and I cried are you alright are you alright?

She was alright. She moved, she turned, she didn't flinch as I poked and squeezed. She didn't cry. She just stared.

Later, after Husband had restrained himself (with difficulty - my sweet, gentle husband restrained himself only with difficulty) from attacking the silly young man who had sped into us, and after he had dealt with police officers and after he had declined the ambulance to take us to Emergency himself, he said, we were lucky.

We were lucky.

We were fine. WonderBaby was thoroughly examined and determined to be unscathed (this, after she had overturned the waiting room at Pediatric Emergency). Husband was sore, but unhurt. I was (am) hurt, but nothing insurmountable: whiplash, torn muscles along the spine, an embarassing stint in a neck brace that wounded my dignity, somewhat. It was scary - really really scary - but we're fine.

I've had to keep reminding myself of that. I spent some hours struggling with disbelief - why me? why this week? - before the pain got too bad and I relented to a dose of percocet and a Beverly Hills 902010 marathon, after which deep thoughts - any thoughts - were impossible. For a while, the next day, I thought, maybe this is funny, in the manner of being absurd. But I soon dispensed with that thought - it wasn't funny. We were very close to being more badly hurt. My baby was in a car accident. Some tard got a bit itchy on the gas pedal and put my child in danger. My family in danger. He hurt us.

But, but... true to what I said in my last post, I can't dwell on the bad and the sad and the scary and ever-present spectre of death. I can't live sad and afraid. What I can do - what I must do - is be grateful that we're fine, especially when some others haven't been fine, won't be fine, some others close to me. If anything, Saturday's car accident serves as a reminder of how true is the maxim that we must be grateful for what we have, embrace what we have, seize it and squeeze it hard.

Such platitudes, but so true: life is fragile, and short, and bitter and sweet. Precious, for its fragility and its sweetness.


Precious, too, for the love that abounds in the communion of lives - and for the love that has been running over the cups of the blogosphere this week. While I was brooding, friends were joining together to take calls to action a little further than I ever imagined.

Kristen telephoned me on Friday to tell me that she and Julie, with the help of a host of other folks with big, big hearts (see full list here), had come up with a crazy, wonderful, spectacular idea - to lift Her Bad Spirits and make the world a better place. By doing something crazy, wonderful and spectacular for Tanner. They were putting together a raffle-auction, to benefit Tanner, to raise funds to be donated to MD Canada, in his name. And they were going to solicit letters, too: they would ask parents to ask their children to send him a card, a note, a drawing, a piece of cheer to brighten the life of a boy who has struggled with being different, with being marked as different because he has a disorder that is crippling him and that will, one day, kill him. They were doing all this Tanner. And for me, because they know how much I love Tanner, and how very much I wish for happiness in his short life.

My heart nearly burst. It is still bursting. It will ever be bursting, from this outpouring of love.

(I'm tempted, here, to make a joke about how maybe my over-bursting heart was kind of an air-bag against all the badness of the car accident, which happened the day after I received word of the auction, but then I'd have to account for the decidedly non-bouncy chest that contains the bursty heart, and the joke sort of starts to fall flat - no pun intended - because I got too literal which is why I avoid jokes and why was I trying to be funny in this PROFOUND post anyway?)

Go, go, see what they have done, are doing. Join in. Buy tickets. Have your children write letters. Spread the love.

Her Bad Auction


And accept my deepest, most hearfelt thanks, for being my friends, and for always reminding me that this world, this life, is indeed filled with so much love, so much laughter and so much joy.

Thank you.

Thank god all three of you are (mostly) ok.

It's beautiful how you've inspired so many people to start great projects like H-b-Auction.

Having been in a car accident with a son in my car, caused, incidentally, by a silly young man who accelerated into us from behind (while talking on his cell), I know exactly the level of horrifying panic that comes when someone hits you when your child is in the car, and I'm so sorry you had to deal with that, and your own injuries, on top of everything else!

(Incidentally in my case it was me forcibly restraining myself from beating the young man. My husband is a lot nicer and calmer than I am . . .)

I would wish you luck, but you don't want my car accident luck, woman. (Which you already know).

So, how about, I will buy some raffle tickets and have Isaac draw Tanner a picture, and just send you mental hugs instead?

Holy shit, Catherine, that is scary.
We got rear-ended in our little Jetta when Really Rosie was a baby; it was a small impact and nobody was hurt, but my first thought, too was ohmygodthebabythebabythebaby... and I really believe that you really couldn't have cared less about your own pain at that moment.
Frightening and intense and holy shit, I'm glad you're all okay.

Oh, Catherine. There's never a good time for a car accident, but of all the weeks...

I'm so glad you are all okay. I was rear-ended when Julia was a newborn and by rear-ended I really mean lightly jostled, but I flew out of my car, frantic, checked on Julia and then turned to the other driver and ripped her a new asshole. I couldn't help myself.

Be good to yourself, my dear. I hope you're not too uncomfortable (or stiff).

The outpouring of love and support that has gone into this auction has left me teary at times. I'm honoured and proud to be a part of such an amazing project, and to be part of such a kickass community.

I really cannot believe that this happened to you this week. I am now firmly convinced that sometimes the universe tests us to find out our limits. And I am so relieved you are ok, esp Wonderbaby...Make sure you go and get some massages, you may not realize it now, but some 'kinks' may have to be worked out of your neck and back. Probably for little girl as well. Sorry to sound so health preachy....

Awful feeling an accident is. I remember one with my oldest son in the car (before seat belts) and getting him to the floor with me on top of him.

I'm so glad you and your family are OK. I remember feeling the exact same when when I was rear ended at 26 weeks pregnant with this baby. I just kept thinking "why me" after loosing two babies already...and then being in a car accident and having my baby at risk for a detached placenta? I too felt lucky knowing baby and me where OK in the end, but damn, car accident's are scary.

I hope you're feeling better soon.

It's good to hear that you all turned out ok considering. When my 2 kids were smaller a older lady ran a stop sign to cross over into the church she worked at and hit me with the kids. She was unconcerned with my children and questioned how I could have the nerve to run into her! Kudos to your husband for keeping his cool.

Oh my goodness, thank god you're OK.

Three weeks ago my husband and I drove to London from Toronto to pick up our new car that we'd just bought. On the way home, I was driving with my 2-year-old, taking the 401, and he went 403. He watched as a white van sped across three lanes at a time, jumping in front of other cars (as they braked hard), zipping behind others, just trying to get ahead. Then she moved in behind him. She thought his lane was going a little too slowly, so she watched for a break in the lane beside them, stepped on the gas... and just then he hit the brake because the person in front of him did. She rammed right into the back of him, turning the car toward the concrete barrier, and smashing him into it. The car crunched like an accordion.

She turned out to be a 16-year-old girl with 2 friends in the car she was showing off for, and admitted full culpability to the police officer. My husband was upset that our new car was completely written off, but I was so thankful he was OK. In the end, as he said to me, what angered him the most (and yes, he turned into a raging lunatic at the scene, shouting obscenities that are not in his nature) was that our 2-year-old daughter should have been in that car with him -- WOULD have been, had we not been picking up a new car and therefore driving separately. The impact of the van crunched the trunk of the car up into the backseat, which is where my daughter would have strapped in. I don't want to imagine what would have happened had she been in that car, and I absolutely feel your terror in the moment of impact. Thank god she was OK, and that my husband ended up walking away with whiplash and bruises, but nothing more.

I hope these maniacs get off the road before they kill someone.

You know, I think you are perfectly right to be upset and feel depressed about a string of bad luck. I don't know why we rationally think we can't be both at the same time, when in reality, it is EXACTLY what is going on. A car accident is horrible and you can't help but wonder why your day should have gone as planned and not ended in fright and pain. But, you are still grateful it didn't end worse. I am a firm believer you don't have to trade one feeling for the other, but they can live together side by side!

P.S. The auction is wonderful. These women are amazing, as are you!

My name is Monica Stone and i would like to show you my personal experience with Percocet.

I am 35 years old. Have been on Percocet for 7 days now. It did help the pain but the side effects weren't worth it. I'd rather have the pain.

I have experienced some of these side effects-
nausea, very itchy, racing heart, anxiety, flashing lights(almost hallucinogenic?), weird dreams, tiredness

I hope this information will be useful to others,
