Default Our accident at 466 and Buena Vista thank you!

We were heading home, stopped, light changed but the ole boy was not responding, looked over and could see a blank stare, after checking on my sweet boy realized I needed to drive. Acknowledged all the patient drivers behind us, got out and opened driver door, and then car shot across this MAJOR crossroad, missing lightpost, giant rock and stopped in decorative pond as I was racing to catch him, falling flat on my face. Amazingly, NO ONE entered the intersection, observing crazy people in a white car. Immediately the Villages friends, and strangers went into action. A sweet little nurse stopped and gave support to my Dougie. Thank you, thank you all. First responders were so caring and I'm so thankful for living in such a caring community. We suspect it might have been a TIA, and baby aspirin might be the answer. Will see neuro tomorrow. Thank you all.. I didn't think it was possible to love this place MORE, but I do!

So glad to read that you and your hubby are here to tell about your unfortunate incident. Prayers for his recovery and peace for each of you.

So glad that both you and your husband are reasonably ok. I can understand your dilemma as I've had a TIA that led to a stroke and luckily the symptoms were recognized quickly and I wasn't in a position to injure myself or others. I will keep you both in my thoughts and prayers.

My Mom saw the car in the pond and wondered what had happened.

We also passed that scene, we are so glad your husband is ok. Now, how are you?
Running, falling, and going through all that is VERY stressful. Hope you are okay.

Just had a TIA myself and fully recovered. I can only guess how frightening it must have been for you in a car, no less. So glad you are both ok, and, yes, we are blessed to live in this wonderful home town.

Your guardian angels were sure looking out for you! So glad no one was seriously hurt. My Mom had her first TIA (transient ischemic attack--clot is temporarily blocking the vessel) in February and was started on Eliquis. Good luck!
