Mother is a master of indecision, easy distracted and forgetful, not a recent development. Many years ago, she loaded her little kids, purse, packages, and God only knows what else into the backseat of her car. Eventually, thinking for sure she was ready,she gave the back car door a shove, suddenly remembering one last thing she should have done, she leaned forward to reach into back seat without stopping the door. It slammed, trapping her nose between the door and the car body. She screamed and blood from poured from her nose as she struggled with the door handle. I don’t believe I’ve heard of a similar accident.
Reminds me of the kinds of predicaments I’d get myself into when I was a crazy, brain-damaged mother of four kids under the age of six…

Hopefully it isn’t disrespectful to laugh now. Had to have hurt, but hope it was worth it for the laugh all of these years later. Though I’m not quite sure how…..

Really. I had a guy come into ER once who’d leaned too low over his skill saw and cut off the end of his nose, and it
