I have just received an email from Julie herself, which I will share with you all here if I may, as it gives us a more detailed update as to how she is, and also includes her thanks to everyone for their thoughts and good wishes:

Julie:

Just wanted to answer you quickly, as I can't stay long on a computer as it hurts my head and my eyes. I was stationary and got rear shunted at about 20 mph, which caused me to get concussion and severe whiplash. I was taken to hospital, by the paramedics on a stretcher board that straps you in tightly and my head was locked into a vice sort of box, in case I'd broken my neck.

I'm home now, but feel very rough and do have pain in my neck and head still. I can't stand lights at the moment, hence a quick reply on here. Please tell everyone who has posted, it's kind of them, thanks for their wishes. I believe you have reported this on the EBS forums too, so please on my behalf Pete, can you just update everyone of both forums, and thank them for their wishes.

Bye for now

Julie

Thanks for the update, Pete. I hope Julie will soon be feeling a lot better.

[Katharine]

Thanks for sharing that Pete.

Poor Julie. Good to hear she's back home - hopefully her recovery will be a speedy one.

[Lucky Star]

Thanks for the update Pete. What a terrible thing to happen to poor Julie. As others have said hopefully her recovery will be speedy.

[Courtenay]

Yes, poor Julie — thanks for the update, Pete. Get better soon, Julie!

I’m so sorry to hear that Julie, I hope that you feel better soon.

[Perce]

I hope you have a quick recovery, Julie.

Hello Everyone, I just wanted to call in quickly to thank you all for the lovely wishes.

I'm getting there slowly, I guess when you're over 65, it takes a little longer to get over. According to our doc who spoke with me, the day after the accident, he said it would be a few weeks!!!

I'm not a person who likes to sit around and rest, as I've been advised too, so let's hope that time can be shortened, somewhat.

Thank you again, everyone.

[John Pickup]

Glad to hear you're improving gradually, Julie. Take it easy and hopefully you'll be back to full fitness soon.

[Lucky Star]

Good to see you posting again Julie. Follow the Doc's advice and get well soon.

[Eddie Muir]

It’s great to know that you are getting better, Julie.

[IceMaiden]

Glad to know you're home safely Julie and hopefully feeling better. Take care

Lovely to hear you are on the road to recovery Julie.

Has it put you off driving Julie?

Somebody rear-ended my wife in an accident very similar to yours about twenty years ago.
She eventually started driving again but was hesitant to do so at first.

Great to know you're on the mend and in good spirits, Julie! A few weeks will fly by, so do as your Doctor tells you and you'll be back on your feet in no time!
