It sounds like Friday could have been better or worse for both of us. I have not driven since the end of January due to having 3 major surgeries, one of them being brain surgery. On Friday, my daughter was going to take me up to the hospital for an appointment. My 5-year-old nephew was going with us. My daughter moved her car from behind mine and was getting my nephews booster seat from her car. My nephew was standing right next to her. I decided to actually drive half way down the block and check the mail while she was getting everything out of her car for my nephew. I looked all around me checked and saw my nephew next to my daughter, I started backing up, I backed up about a foot, and something told me to stop. Next thing I know my nephew was under the car. He saw me getting ready to leave and decided to stop the car. Why I stopped who knows but another 2-3 inches he would have been under the tires. Thank GOD, he only ended up with some road rash, a ride in an ambulance and a stuffed animal from the EMT. I walked to the mailbox.
