Mine was going great until yesterday afternoon. Witnessed a fatal car crash driving to the hardware store. Car going the opposite way went straight off the road and in to a tree. I whipped around through traffic to try and help, called 911, etc.
I ended up pulling two dead fat guys out of the car because the 911 lady said "if they're not breathing, try and administer CPR."
That kinda sucked.

How are you holding up after that?
A for effort, dude.

Wow Moe. Very heroic. Sorry the fat dudes both died. Hang in there.
I pulled a deer tick off my butt Friday night. It was obviously there long enough to be able to inject me with it's evil Lyme disease seed - I'm off to get a lil precautionary dose of anti-biotics in a bit. I felt stuff crawling on me all weekend, and hesitated for a sec before heading off into the woods.

We stayed over at Guenny's grandma's house to help out after she had a kidney removed this past week. Not sure how many more nights we'll end up spending there.

I haven't slept yet. It was kind of weird. I left the scene of the accident after police & EMT got there (gave them my name, etc.) I had been on my way to the hardware store & the grocery store. I got to the hardware store and ended up leaving after being completely overwhelmed by rack upon rack of tiny little packages that all held things I couldn't focus on. I drove to the grocery store and ended up walking around aimlessly for a half hour before I remembered why I was there. Had a couple of bottles of wine last night, and even that couldn't put me under. It's a weird feeling.
Wow, that's kind of rough, Moe.
I ran over an already dead deer on my way to work yesterday. I thought for sure it would have messed up my car, but I'm guessing I wasn't the first to hit it (again).

I'm a little surprised no one had taken it home to butcher it yet. I suppose once it gets to a certain level of messiness you have to wait for the real roadkill scavengers.
That sucks, Moe. Sounds like you had a little bit of a trauma, there.

Good on ya moe. that's got to shake a person up. I remember I saw a pedestrian get hit by a car a year or so ago. I was a block or two away, and there were lots of people around so I wasn't immediately involved, but it still shook me up. I crossed streets very carefully for a while. Hang in there.

I'm dying myself, so it never hurts to put things in to perspective.
Bad jokes are really all I have right now.
I had a similarly bad experience. I was watching the Cardinals game and they were down 7-2 but managed to rally in the 7th and 9th innings thanks to Pujols and Holliday and ended up tying the game. Then McClellan came in and gave up a homer in the bottom of the 9th. It was a crushing blow.
I did not, however, opt to give CPR to two dead fat guys.

Wow, I'm sorry Moe. I thought I had it bad, being dragged to Mule Day, but it sounds like you had it worse. 
Glad you're holding up.

Well, I was gonna make a chili joke about the dead deer Belkira ran over, and then add that you know where to find a couple of fat guys if the meat was too dry. But I didn't out of deference to your trauma.
See what a pal I am?

Pssh, it could happen to anyone in Tennessee (and about 39 other states).

/insert "of course not, I'm more awesome" joke.
Well I was unhappy last night, but not from having to give CPR to two folks.
I can no longer trust a co-worker.

Well... I guess my story about how I got ripped twice out of parking spaces in the Zoo lot this weekend (and the space I finally got had some guy standing next to it with a cell phone, presumably directing someone there) just isn't nearly as traumatic anymore...

Damn, that sucks, Moe. At least give yourself the credit that you stopped to help in your capacity to do so. So many don't nowadays.
I once watched a car on the highway careen into another car, get airborne, flip, and crash land roof down in NYC. Just seeing that happen fucked me up for quite awhile. I wasnt driving and the husband refused to stop and help because so many other cars already did. I had a lot of guilt and anger that we didnt stop. And I had a lot of nightmares for months about it.
I know its cliche to say that time will take away that edge once everything sinks on for you but it's true. However, witnessing something like that never quite leaves you. Do what you can to process, and make sure you find someone close who is willing to let you verbalize all the crap you feel. Or just take it out on the mooglefuckers here. We'll fully support your endeavor to get back to normal in any way you feel will help. Huggles

I watched UFC 112 this weekend, so I know how you feel.

I'm sorry.
Bystander CPR has a 4 to 5% chance of "working". Chances go up somewhat for people drowned in cold water. CPR's effectiveness jumps to something like 30% in hospitals when a defibrillator can be got to the patient within 3-5 minutes. Even then, the revived person usually needs immediate life support as whatever made them dead is usually still an issue. I rather think that being squishled to death against a tree with no defib or life-support handy really did it in for their chances. Sucks to be them, and sucks to be you. But I bet their friends and relatives would thank you for trying.

Plus it tends to break their ribs, which is not exactly safe.
