cheers ric

The driver did stop and the Police have questioned him and are continuing their investigation - there were loads of witnesses about apparently.

I was in and out of conciousness until I was taken away by the ambulance - it seemed like an eternity. What I do remember is a bloke (the driver of the car) telling the paramedic he was travelling at 45mph - I think it was because it was probably important for the paramedic/doctors to know exactly what had happened to me.

Did have very strange mixed feelings on Tuesday evening - I was watching the Liverpool vs Chelsea game from my hospital bed instead of watching it at the stands of Anfield. On one hand I was gutted on missing out on attending such a fantastic occassion and match - the other realising I was lucky to be still here surrounded by so many others in hospital that may not be here much longer...

Other thoughts entered my head too - maybe it WAS lucky that I got hit and NOT a young woman with her child in the pram that safely crossed the same road only minutes earlier. I'm young, still fit(ish) and strong - horrifies me what to think that idiot driver could have done to her and her kid, or an old age pensioner, or the 100's of kids from school that would've used that crossing only an hour later etc

All maybe's, but it's made me realise I got lucky - tomorrow I think I'll get my missus to buy a lottery ticket and see if my good luck is still wth me...


As for the driver - I hope the least that happens is that he loses his driving license.
