Rbnyc needs Karmic Focus
Most of you know that rbnyc is getting married tomorrow. Not many of you have heard yet that she will be getting married in a hospital bed.

Rene and one of her future brothers-in-law were involved in an automobile accident late last night. BIL is unharmed except for his psyche. He is such a sweet guy. He'll feel much better once he sees her.

Rene sustained a broken pelvis, broken tailbone, and broken ankle. All breaks were clean and should heal within six to eight weeks. I know you're all anxious to hear about the baby. All is well so far, and the doctors are keeping a very close eye on both my daughter and grandchild.

Every time I show up at the hospital, I'm with Cliff's mom. The hospital is getting to know us as "The Two Mothers." Just wait for tomorrow when Rene's step-mother is there, too! (Wonder if The Three Mothers should think about cutting a CD. LOL!)

I'm calling in positive thoughts from all my friends on the Internet. DU is the most important stop on the list.

6. I'm deeply saddened and at the same time relieved
I'm relieved that Rene and the baby are ok, but feel so disappointed for Rene because I know how much she was looking foward to this. Please let her know that Kim and I send our very best wishes for a speedy recovery and please, please let me know if there's anything I can do.

8. Oh Shit!
Rene, I'll be using all my "skills" to help you get better. Now I really wish I had managed to get out there this weekend.


I love you like a sister, Rene. I'll be there with you in spirit, even if I have to yank my astral self out of my body.

I don't know what else to say other than to repeat once more how much I love you and hope that you're up and about sooner than anyone expects.

13. lots of good vibes being sent her way!
I'm sure this is _not_ how she wanted things. I'm just happy that everyone's okay, relatively speaking. How far along is her baby?

I hope the wedding goes well nonetheless!

Best,
Rebecca

15. ACK!!! Rene!!!
Kheph called me at work when we were in a middle of a crisis here. But I said a quick prayer for Rene (and the crisis) and hope they both get fixed real soon!

You're in my prayers - you and your family!

18. She has MORE than my karma
If there are any requests, anything we can do to help please let us know. I am SO sorry for this unfortunate turn of events and wish Rene a speedy recovery and hope this has not harmed her pregnancy.

RBNYC you have all my love. Please let us know what we can do.

Flama, hang in there.

I am so glad the injuries are not more severe. Thank God she is alive!
Are the other passengers OK?

21. Screw Karmic focusing, send her some goddamn flowers!
We've organized this for Senator Byrd and others, SURELY a banged up DUer on the eve of her wedding night could be also arranged.

Karma, pfft, flowers are the trick, get to it.

25. Sending karma
and love to Rene... What a horrible thing to happen, and what awful timing.

However, what a deep reminder of how important each day is ... and for tomorrow how true the "today is the first day of the rest of your life"... may the tragedy bring a little bit of beauty/depth into the being in the moment of the wedding. (Lots of folks get so caught up in pulling the wedding off... all the details - that the 'being in the moment' gets lost - will report barely remembering a thing).

All my best and thanks for keeping us updated.

26. Love back on you from rbnyc
Thank you all for being such wonderful friends to Rene. She got to snuggle up with your responses last night as she finally got some sleep.

Her dad gave her a stuffed bear named Crash. Her room is filled with furry critters, flowers, and friends and family.

Rene's spirits are up (thanks in a big way to you at DU) and she's smiling again. It hurts when she laughs, though.

We should know in a few hours if she will be lying in bed or sitting in a wheelchair for the ceremony this afternoon. We already know that she will be beautiful - and the most chill bride every.

Ma

P.S. The wedding has been moved again. This time from the patient lounge in Orthopedics to the gymnasium.

P.P.S. Rene is in Stonybook University Hospital. Like a fla ma, I haven't got the address. She will be there until at least Monday, when the exit strategy gets put together and determination will be made if her egress is strategic.

35. Just heard on another thread
and posted there.

I can't tell you how sorry I am. The broken tailbone WILL be a huge problem for her pregnancy. She'll probably have to plan a C section, as the bone may rebreak during labor. I broke mine at 16 and it takes an incredibly long time to heal. It's unbelievably painful. Every laugh, deep breath, cough or sneeze sends the most horrible pain shooting through you.

My heart goes out to you, rbnyc, and your whole family.

No real harm can ever befall us as we reside together in the heart of G_d. I do not worry, simply knowing all is well with you and your family. Have a wonderful wedding day and know how dearly you are loved by spirits so far away who have never even seen your beautiful face.
BIG HUGS AND MANY KISSES!!!

P.S. Ouch! Shit! This is NOT what I ordered!!! ;-)
