Close encounter with... tarmac!

Yesterday:
Well, the day stared out pretty much the same as normal... we set off on our bikes onthe school run... but a momentary lapse of attention on my part, meant I caught up with Isaac ahead of me...I clipped his tyre and in order to avoid knocking him off his bike, I threw mine to the left forgetting a vital sciencific law: "every action had an equal and opposite reaction"! The trailer stayed up straight and safe but the same force I used to push the bike onto the verge, propelled me over the handlebars and head first onto the middle of the road!
I landed full on my chin a horrible sound from within, and thought "ouch"!! Luckily a neighbour out mucking out her horses noticed me on the road making no effort to get up and ran over. The boys all wearing visibility jackets were used as safety cones to stop any oncoming vehicles as said neighbour rushed home to ring for an ambulance. The boys were scared, my chin was cut and seeing me on the ground with blood on my face wasn't a kindly experience for them. Another mum in her car on the school run stopped and took charge of all the children as the police and helicopter came to scene to join the ambulance. (the air ambulance was sent as they had thought it was a cyclist in collision with a car!) A pleasant surprise for the paramedics that no car was involved, as the outcome was to be much more positive.
I tried to speak to Tom who was in London working, to put his mind at rest that I was OK but I rather think I did the opposite not making much sense until Kim our neighbour put him in the picture. Off to hospital and although woozy, nauseous and on oxygen for the journey, I felt better by the time we got to the hospital, knowing that Tom was on his way up North. I had an xray of my hand as my little finger was causing pain, but luckily no harm done, and they managed to simply glue my chin together. So the most painful bit? the tetanus jab I was given!!!!
I count my blessings that we live in a small rural caring community that rallied around in a time of need,for Kim who realised something was wrong and called the ambulance, the no nonsense and organised way Sarah took charge of the children putting them at ease and calming them, for the Lent group who took charge of Leah and picked up Benjamin from nursey and subsequently fed them both, for Penny who then took them home and was ready to collect the rest had we not been in touch!For the paramedics who so gently took care of me and made me feel safe until I got to hospital. Not forgetting Sheila who appeared in the afternoon to drop off a Cottage pie and cake so tea needn't be a worry!
And I thank God who kept me under his wing... I am in wonder that I have come out of it purely with a cut and bruised chin and a bruised and battered body when so many things could have been worse. A special thank you to Susanna who back in september was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO adamant that I wear a cycling helmet giving me hers! and whose helmet I was indeed wearing, keeping my head safe.
Lastly I would like to praise all five of my children who despite being scared, worried and unsure, were cool headed, listening to instructions and being ever so helpful, for the lovely singing they did whilst we waited for the ambulance so that Benjamin and Leah who were still strapped in the trailer didn't panic unduly.
Thank you Lord for this fine day,thank you for keeping me away from potential harm, thank you for keeping communications between all parties open and clear. Thank you for my loving husband a dependable tower of strength and support, with whom we all feel safe and cared for.
Dear Lord.... Thank You.
