TDS Social Thread vs. Badfish has stayed up too late

I went to see my friend Laura, who got hit by a car and run over by another last Friday, Oct 26. She is in ICU. We don't know if she's going to make it but she's sure a fighter, and she is sure holding on.

Here's the thing.

Her husband and I went to see her today. He got some video of the room and her in the bed with his phone, about 8 seconds worth. As we looked at it while riding the elevator down, we saw a couple other people standing by the bed, and what looked like Laura herself sitting on the bed next to herself.

We don't know how that happened. We both saw the same room with our own two eyes. We both saw the video with our own two eyes.

I have seen the shadow people before. Plenty. This was different. This looked like a family.

What do you think? Shit, what do I think??
 
Hmm i'm sorry for you're friend
All i'll say is whatever happens at least she isn't alone. I believe. I've seen and felt and dreamed enough.

Shadow people, blasphemy, that's her people. Its not a family its her family.

People close to the other side are often visited. I've known hospice nurses and heard family stories about them being visited by family who weren't around anymore. Christ I feel bad writing this but thats what I think. At least she isn't going to be alone
 
Her mom was one of the people at the bed, then. She's deceased. Maybe that's what Laura meant...

I said, "When you get out of here, we are going to celebrate with the biggest party and get all shades of faded!"

She shook her head slowly back and forth one time.
 
Don't read too much into it... or forgive me for being outspoken that was not purposefully meant to sound pessimistic about the situation. Is she conscious? That's different kinda. Angels, ghosts, deceased souls, i believe. I can't always find rhyme or reason to life but i take comfort in firm belief that we aren't alone and our souls don't just dissolve after our bodies do.
 
She is not conscious, that we can tell, but she seems conscious. She could look out of one eye in one direction one day but now her eyes are closed again. We think she's conscious at times, and probably not conscious a lot of the time.

Like maybe she is half way between this life and something besides this life. Death? I'm not so sure what I think anymore. If she dies we won't see her but we will always have those few seconds recorded...

I have to go through the intersection where she was hit all the time. The way the police marked the entire intersection, from each drop of blood to each item where it lay after flying out of her purse and her bags, makes the intersection bizarre, colorful, crazy-looking, and distracting. The marks are ALL over, from every corner TO every corner.

If you just drove through there, you might wonder what was going on. There's no way to make any sense of the marks but there are WAY too many to ignore.

I have to find another way to go. Every time I go through that intersection I get horrified.
 
I'm so sorry to hear about your friend ugly. It's horrific having to see someone you care about go through this.

I know exactly how you feel. The first time I had to go through the intersection where I had my crash, the memory of what happened hit me so hard that I had a panic attack and passed out. Luckily I wasn't driving. They still had some police tape fluttering around, the bright pink spray paint they used to mark the area and the missing traffic light post.
 
Right Re-distributed? Exactly right. Seeing that stuff is brutal on me. She could have called me for a ride, even. It's very close to my house. She was there. Now paint marks every where. It's rough for us.

When the four boys got shot, down a few miles from me but I knew them, the cops cleaned up their blood almost immediately. It was like it had never happened. We couldn't find a stain even, anywhere.

With the hit and run, the paint is worse than blood. It's as bright as the first day and shows every detail of what flew where.

Look, here's the worst part, ok? The boys were Black. My friend in the hospital is Black. Last year I had another friend get shot while riding his bike in broad daylight, and he survived and is still with us. Also Black.

My white friends are not suffering these kinds of things.

Deadly Racism. 2012. California.

Obama my ass. We have accomplished NOTHING.

Naw, not really. Self-regulating innit atm. Have to behave really, the thought we'd earned her disapproval and let not just Herb, but more importantly ourselves down would just be crushing. Bet she hardly even has to bring out the withering stare once in a while here mate. ;)

Oh, and hello!
 
^these guys run the place! I was just popping in to see if Sepher was offering any tea, which he has done in the past, so I was just hoping. It's turned cold here after our seemingly endless summer.

I once asked my mom why MY withering stare didn't have the same effect on my kids that HER withering stare had done with my siblings and me. I mean hers stopped us in our tracks. Mine was about as effective as a screen door in a submarine. =D
 
Hahahahaha! Screen door on a submarine indeed! I love that! And what did she say? Just looked archly at you I bet and left it at that. And of course you can have tea. I have Yorkshire Gold here ( what else? ) if you want? Kettle's just boiled. Anyone else while I'm at it?
 
Ill take some coffee, lol..

How are all u awesome people here in TDS 2day? Nice day to get out and do something... Happy friday every1, cheers!
 
Raaaaaaargh, you awkward bugger Sconnie! Can't you just have what's on offer? You're as bad as Spork! :!

*wanders off down two ( yes two, count 'em ) flights of stairs to the kitchen to switch the espresso machine on*

On this occasion I'll forgive you. Forgot I actually had the makings of espresso. Out of milk though so a latte is out the question I'm afraid.

Oh, and I'm good ta. Day off work today, slept till 3pm catching up on the insomnia thing and feel much better for it. Nice long weekend to look forward to. :) Weather's attrocious though. Wet here, but not as cold as it has been this week. What about you?
