My almost eighty-nine year old Aunt Margaret has osteoporosis and has lost about five inches in height due to the crumbling of her spine. Last year was difficult, but this year she has been back to her active, upbeat self, going to all the things she enjoys. I have wondered what may happen to her delicate bones if she had any kind of jolt. Well... last week she was riding with a friend, going to Music Club, when they were struck at an intersection by a driver who ignored his red light. Damage to Ann's car was massive with the entire front end destroyed. The women, who spun around in the car when it was hit, were uninjured. Their seat belts and the air deployed air bags kept them totally safe. Ann's husband, who must be a math guy, figured that another 3/100 or 3/1000 (I don't remember) of a second, and they would have been goners. Margaret did not even get a bruise. What a miracle!
