My SUV was hit by a semi today....
Sounds like the beginning of a great country song. I was stopped at the light in a turning lane when a very large orange semi turned into the lane next to me. Unfortunately he undercorrected and took out my front end, driver side, axle and wheel. Thankfully I was only with my dog (coming from the vet). If I had been moving I probably would have flipped over. The truck kept on going but was stopped by the police several blocks later.
My upper body is sore, I'm needing some physical therapy for my left arm and shoulder. I didn't get to see many patients today...
Must be expiating some bad mama jama karma....
Will keep you posted. Arm should be in better shape for writing next week.

You and your pet are in my prayers.

Take good care. I have enjoyed your post - I relate to a lot of what you have to say because when I do legal work, my clients are mostly indigent, too. Legal aid clinics for battered persons, etc. Take care, Mimi, your fellow public interest bodhisattva, Byrd in LA

As far as the vehicle. . .you didn't need a front end did you? ;-)
