Hello to all,I want to let everyone know that I am okay. Some of you who read the message board were worried about my accident. I couldn't get hold of everyone. (Erica, thank you for the get-well note.) I was in a car accident Monday night. As I was going through an intersection, some young guys who were drinking and driving ran their red light and ran right into me. My car was totaled, as he hit the front of the driver's side; I was VERY lucky to end up with some bumps and bruises, a neck brace, a few minor cuts on my forehead, and a concussion (that's what happens when your head breaks the window). I spent 2 nights in 2 different hospitals, had 2 ambulance rides, and am almost back to my normal self. (Willa, I promise I'm telling you the truth, I really am okay.)I was the only one in the car, but I was right next to my residence, so 2 of my friends came to the site and followed me to the hospital. My South African friends and colleagues have been taking very good care of me; almost every time I woke up from a short dose, someone was there to be with me. (Thank you Mark, Prof, Rone, Sivu, Brighton, Amanda, and Joy!) The driver of the other car was arrested at the scene.I'm off to bed because I'm back at work tomorrow. I will write again soon. (I did have an adventurous weekend to Cape Aguilas, the southernmost tip of Africa, and to some parts of Route 62- marketed like our Route 66, but full of vineyards, orchards, and a few hot springs. I'll have to fill to you in.)Keep well, please wear your seatbelts, and don't drink and drive!Cheers,Christy
