Known to Kossacks as a minor blogger, TDW has got the hell beat out of her last night because she sports a bumper sticker that condemns war and Bush.
In a mall parking lot, from what I understand, guys asked her if she had jumper cables. They said they had a dead battery. They were parked in the outside of the parking lot where there was not much light.
Now she lies comatose in a hospital in SE Georgia
She, of course was happy to go to their aid. She always has jumper cables with her and she is always willing to lend a hand.
When she pulled her Jeep over to lend a hand they beat the hell out of her.
Now she lies comatose in a hospital in SE Georgia.
TDW, as she is known at Kos, has been my best friend for over a decade. She works hard for Democracy, justice and freedom.
Se is a good person, who cares deeply for "the least of these."
I ask the Kossack community to pray for her, or do whatever you do to bring about good endings.
God help us all!
Update: Spent the rest of last night at the hospital and found out a few things I did not know before. TDW was not in a coma when she arrived at the hospital. The physicians put her in a coma with drugs; a therapeutic coma. There is some brain swelling. I managed to talk to one of the Docs. She has a few broken ribs and a severe concussion, lots of bruising and contusions and a partially dislocated shoulder, which has already been fixed.
The Docs say that they are keeping her on the critical list for the time being, because of the swelling inside the cranium, but if all goes uneventfully for the next 72 hours, they will move her from intensive care.
Even though she is still in intensive care, the prognosis is good.
Now for my part: I want to thank all of you for your concern and the love you sent over the Internets. I felt so alone and panicked last night, while I waited for a ride to the hospital (my car is in the shop for some repairs.) I imagine I will get more news about the legal side of things today, at some point. Bless all of you for keeping me company last night.
