> From a Facebook post I just sent:
>
> First things first, amazingly I am OK. I literally walked away from this
> crash, thanks to the side air bag, a doctor from Portsmouth Naval
> Hospital who was on the scene immediately, and first responders from
> Portsmouth. A couple of minor bumps and bruises is all.
>
> Now, to describe what happened:
>
> I was crossing Effingham Street, little more than a block from home,
> when another driver hit me on the drivers side, there was a whole lot of
> turning over, before I ended up with the van on its side with the
> drivers side on the ground (so presumably there was about 270° of
> rotation there).
>
> The biggest annoyance? My eyeglasses went missing. And the LensCrafters
> we tried today didn't have any scheduled openings until Friday. So we'll
> see if we have better luck phoning places tomorrow.
>
> Of course, there are plenty of other annoyances to do with contacting
> insurance and rental car company, etc (despite everybody we spoke to
> being wonderful), and dealing with figuring out what will succeed Carmen
> for our transportation needs.
>
> And, of course, I am SURE I will be feeling it in the morning a whole
> lot more than I feel it now!

> For those who are Facebook friends, there are two photos of the van
> there. The side curtain air bag deployed which probably saved me from a
> world of hurt. There was a doctor on the scene in literally seconds, who
> works at the naval hospital less than a mile away. So I was well
> instructed (and prevented from doing anything which might hurt me while
> waiting for the first responders to arrive…though he wasn't able to get
> the collar on me, as he had hoped before I was helped out through the
> cut-out windshield.
>
> The reasons for prayer are mainly logistics: getting me new eyeglasses,
> since mine went missing (and we weren't digging through all the broken
> glass to see if they were still in the van, especially since they were a
> cheap pair), figuring out what it will cost to repair or replace my
> iPhone which has a screen covered in cracks and shatters (fortunately
> the iPad was in its sleeve and survived without damage).
>
> And on top of this, less than two weeks from now, we are moving. So this
> is just adding to a busy time. And Heather and I would both appreciate
> prayers for that.
>
> And also, prayers for a relative in Canada, whose cancer has spread to
> the point where a doctor last week suggested that she likely has weeks,
> rather than months, to live. This family member was told one year and
> has survived far past that, but the reports I'm getting from family
> there suggest that things are getting worse. But we both have expired
> passports and a change of address in days, so I am not expecting to be
> able to travel for this… was not expecting to even before this morning's
> accident.
