Car Accident

[Mackeyser]

So, my daughter Grace, some of you met her at the Tampa game some years back (We still talk about those ribs) works for TSA and was heading into work at 3:20 am and was hit by a drunk driver. Car’s totaled, but thank God she’s mostly okay. She’s got a fractured left clavicle that will require surgery and had 6 stitches on a deep cut on her right hand.

We’ve got it all locked down, physical, emotional, spiritual and financial support, but since some of y’all met her, figured I’d let you know.

This was her at the game. I gave her the hat and she still has it.

Glad to hear she's OK!

and I do remember her

Very thankful that Grace is going to be okay.

Fuck drunk drivers.

That’s scary as hell.

Thankfully she’s OK.

I’ve had a couple broken Collarbones. They are no fun and it can be difficult to get comfortable enough to sleep.
Getting dressed will be no picnic for a few weeks either.

Prayers to Grace and your family, Mac.

Yeah. I remember her. She was fun to have around. Wish her a speedy recovery from us.

So sorry to hear this, but glad she's gonna be ok

Thanks for the well wishes. I’ll be sure to pass them along. Collarbone fractures are strange because you almost want it to be really minor or a total offset so surgery is required because some breaks, they don’t operate on and they let it heal super funky and it takes months and months to heal. With surgery, it’s 6 weeks before she can lift 30 pounds which isn’t bad at all.

OMG Mac... that has to be a terrifying phone call to receive. Hopefully you're sleeping through the night again by now.

Thank God she is "OK"... those kind of accidents usually are much worse.

Get well soon Grace!

Always the damn drunks.
There is zero excuse....there was always zero excuse.....but particularly now with relatively cheap ride share, to drive drunk. Ever.
I loath that level of narcissistic stupidity.
Glad she is ok and will recover.
Terrifying for everyone involved and when you think how quickly even a slight change is speed, angle of impact etc., could have created a different outcome. Scary.
I received a shocking call regarding a car accident that did not have as "good" of an outcome and I swear it gave me PTSD for years.
Drive sober, don't speed (on city streets anyway), wear your seatbelt, don't play with your phone while driving, pay attention and hope for the best....thats about all one can do.
