beyond being prepared

Was it Underdog or Mighty Mouse who said,
 "HERE I COME TO SAVE THE DAY!!!" ?
I'm not sure if it was either one of them actually.

Never been one to wait to be rescued by someone else anyways.

I like to think that if rescuing needs doing, I will be the one doing the rescuing.
Then again, I also like to think that I'll never step in chewing gum again.

What we will do in a situation is a mystery until we are in it.
We all THINK we know what we'll do.

I bring this up because the moment of Kathy's crash was as sickening a moment as I can imagine.
The slow motion of the actions following were even worse.

To revisit, now that Kathy is on her way to recovering the ability to use her right foot (and hopefully eventually her left leg as well), I think of what I could've done differently.

Raising my boys, I could fix anything, holding Kathy on the side of that road, I could fix nothing.

Even now, looking back, I don't know what else could've been done, short of deciding to skip that ride completely.

I  have concluded that there are times when things happen too fast or are too severe for rescue without consequences.

Hope you never have to find out the limits of your ability to fix things.
After the fact, some situations are just not possible to put back in order.

Even for Underdog or Mighty Mouse.
