We had a horrible day today .

We got up early , made our porridge had it decided to go to the Thursday morning dance that starts at 10 am till just after lunch , hubs stopped dancing at one stage and said my A fabulation is playing up ,and I need to out to the car and get a tablet, he he gets a warning on his Apple Watch which has that important feature

Anyway he was OK after 15 mins , so we continued dancing,

after it finished we traveled to Costco and filled up with petrol to go home tomorrow after spending a month in the city .

We got down the road about 5 km on one of the busiest roads in Adelaide, and he had a black out , so the car continued , across 2 lanes of traffic ,over a large concrete island in the middle of the road , and hit another car on the other side of the road …...,.both ours and the other car are right offs

luckily no one was seriously hurt , but I’m suffering a bit of shock and hubs is in hospital ,till they work out why the black out happened ( he’s never had it before )…..now we are left without a car ,we only have / had one ….so who knows what will happen regarding our car ….and yes we’ve got good insurance …..our car is 6 years old bought brand new in 2020


My hubby will likely loose his drivers licence unless the doctors can find out what’s caused this black out , he semi remembers the last few seconds before blacking out he said it was like looking at something with an old film negative over his eyes

How scary!! I am glad you all did not get hurt. I hope the doctors can find out why your husband blacked out.
 
Oh, @Kate Ellery , that is terrible; but I am so glad that both you and your husband were not injured in the accident , and also that the other people involved are okay, too.
I hope that they are able to see why he blacked out. Some of the medication they gave me for a-fib makes me really dizzy, but I know not to do anything like driving or that might be dangerous after I take it until I stop being so dizzy. Maybe the dancing just made his heart work harder and so it affected him more.

Sending prayers and hugs for you as you work out what happened and how to get home. It is good that you have the full coverage insurance, so you should be able to get a vehicle to get back home again.
Keep us posted on how things are going, please, Kate !
