Where a car runs into a truck load of live chickens, scattering them all over the road?

It’s a classic, right?

Well in a case of life (almost) imitating art, yesterday, something caused my stepmother to drive her car into a semi-truck load of frozen chickens, scattering them across the southbound lanes of I-35 on the way into Oklahoma City. She was heading north. The truck was heading south. The accident shut down the interstate for about three hours while authorities cleaned it up.

The truck driver was sent to the hospital too, but his injuries appear to be minor. Luckily there was no one else around.

She’s in pretty bad shape, though. We still haven’t been able to talk with her to find out what happened. She was in surgery for around six hours yesterday and is now in the ICU and expected to return to surgery tomorrow and again in a few more days after that. She’s in a great deal of pain and is on so much medication that it keeps her mostly knocked out.

My stepmother has had health problems for many years, even before my dad passed away four and half years ago. It has continued to decline since then. Her poor body has been through hell and this is yet another ordeal. If you are the praying kind, I’d appreciate a few on her behalf. I’ll take any good vibes and positive thoughts too.
