23Nov11 a day I wont forget

Today I was driving home from an appt at the VA The traffic was crazy so we turned down a road that we never take.   Shortly thereafter an accident occured where a gentleman proceeded through a stop sign after stopping and was hit spun and flipped by oncoming car.  I immediately jumped out of car and ran to accident to find a young woman hanging upside down in passenger seat.  For 45 minutes I immobilized her head and neck and tried to keep her calm as best I could.  For the first time in 8 years I felt no pain and actually felt useful for once.  Could it / Would it last no after my adrenalin slowed the pain was back with a vengeance but I still found out  in a crisis I can rise above and help.
