Liz: Scanner Traffic 2X In 2 Months

Liz: Don’t you dare laugh. But I’m that 1:50pm gal who fell down the steps. See if I EVER bake stuff to pass around the neighborhood again!!!! Have I EVER had a rough couple of months. The irony is I’m far more injured than I was in my rollover car accident. Just put my foot down the wrong way, did a face plant on the concrete and my glasses went into my face. Let’s hear it for klutziness. I freaked out and called the EMTs because I could stick my finger into my face and that was a little bit unnerving. As was the copious amount of blood. My poor son freaked out and thought I was going to die. Full post below.

Question: Have you ever been involved in an incident that was mentioned on Scanner Traffic?

I freaked out and called the EMTs because I could stick my finger into my face and that was a little bit unnerving. As was the copious amount of blood. My poor son freaked out and thought I was going to die. So the EMTs had to calm him down and reassure him.
Now I am home chilling out after gosh knows how many stitches, a tetanus shot and the removal of shards of frame from my face. I look like someone punched me and roughed me up real bad. Good thing I don’t make a living with my face because it’s pretty messed up now.
Gal in the ER told me a lot of otherwise minor incidents need medical attention because people’s glasses do some serious harm. Think I’ll go back to the contacts.

I just thought I’d better check in and see if I made the police scanner again. Glad I beat everyone to the punch (line) of cracking jokes about my unfortunate afternoon
