So, I have my job and have to be at work by 7 in the morning. I leave at like 6:35 yesterday morning, drive maybe five minutes...and total my car! I was driving down the road and something darted infront of me, I swerved to miss it (I knew there were no other cars on the raod), wound up hydroplaining because it rained the night before, went into the oncoming traffic lane (again, no traffic coming) back into mine, hit a ditch my car flipped a couple times, spun around to face the other direction, hit another car that was parked like 10 yards off the road, crashes into their front and passanger side (luckily no one was in there) rolled back and stopped on the hood...LUCKILY...I was wearing my seatbelt! My windows shatterd and I had to crawl out of the drivers window...but, I'm fine, I have some scratches a couple bruises and am sore, but nothing bad! My car on the other hand...no hope for it!...it's beyond gone, luckily I have insurance, un luckily, it's only gonna give us a few hundred so I still have to figure out a way to get a new (used) car >_< And I had to go the the hospital! That part was worse than the crash! They kept trying to put IV's in me (I have horrible veins so they couldn't get it even though they tried in both arms) and then my hair got taped down to the stretcher board thingy they had so when I tried to sit up It got pulled hard (I yelled and the doctor thought that something had gone wrong and I was screaming in pain about something serrious..oops!)
SOOOO...Pray that I can find a good used car at a REALLY good price and that I feel 100% better and that my insurance will come through fast for me and the other people whos truck I hit! ANd put in an awesomley HUGE thank you for the super fire truck and ambulance peope that were there like two minutes later!...and that the sheriff didn't give me a ticket!
well at least your ok thats the main thing. and talking of i/vs i know the feeling i had one in my groin once and my feet and toes because i gpt crappy veins to.
as long as your ok, dont worry anout the car until your feeling better and the shock cleared a bit
You know, It's so strange some of the things that happened, I mean, I started to roll and I just closed my eyes and knew that when it stopped I would be able to walk away with no problems, I was completley calm about it, after I got out and everything is when I broke down completley even though at that point I was totally safe, and I still am not positive how I got out, I say I crawled out of the window but I looked at the car afterwards when it was at the storage lot and I have no idea how I would've gotten out of it...but I remeber that I never even tried to open the door which I would've thought (now thinking logically) that it would've been the first thing I would try (not that it matter, the driver's side back door was completely bent over the driver's door)but it's just all the strange little things that happened that bug me, and I know I'm still in shock, but I'm also completley calm about it, like it happened and life will move on...however I won't drive down that road again and if I ever see that stupid orange tabby again it's going to become a new road decoration! dumb cat!
THANK GOD YOU ARE ALRIGHT BECCA. KEEP IN MIND THAT WHILE YOU MAY BE SORE TODAY, TOMORROW MAY BE A LITTLE WORSE. I KNOW WITH MY HORRIBLE CRASH THAT I WAS MORE SORE THE SECOND DAY. VEINS. I KNOW ABOUT THOSE TOO. THE PROFESSIONALS ALWAYS THINK THEY KNOW BETTER THAN WE ABOUT THOSE. I TOO HAVE HAD TO HAVE THEM PUT IN MY FEET AND MY NECK! THEY CAN'T EVER, EVER GET THEM IN MY ARMS OR HANDS. BUT, I HAVE TO ENDURE THEM TRYING ANYWAY. HOPE YOU FIND THAT CAR SOON AND FEEL BETTER. KAT
Hpw scarey for you! But you are safe and well with no major injuries that's the important thing, as Native says though you may well be in shock and not realise it so be aware.
I too have problems giving blood, it's a nightmare but they usually manage it with much prodding and poking which leaves me with massive bruising!
Thanks too to the fire and ambulance services who take so much criticism these days
I hate giving blood because of it! I have deep rolling veins and when I go in I tell them exactly where they have to put the needle in so that they'll catch one but they always start in the other arm for some reason no matter how much I tell them >_<...oh well, small price to pay I guess... The fire station is totally getting a HUGE plate of cookies sometime this week! maybe two!...And I've never been so happy that I live in a small community, the fire station is like 5 minutes away no matter where you are and the people are totally awesome there! And it's all volunteer so even the people that wern't on duty yesterday heard the call go out and I had people there that wern't even in uniform, that just raced out of their homes to help me, I totally wish I had all their names so I could at least send them a card!...
As for me, I'm trying to relax, I went into my morning job for a few hours today but left REALLY early and I'm gonna rest before I go into Walmart, I called out of both of them yesterday but I go stir crazy just sitting here thinking about it! and for the most part I think right now I'm ok, I just keep getting big chills every so often...and I haven't cried yet except for a couple minutes right after it happened, and I keep thinking that I need to cry, it's like right there but it won't come out >_<! I'm afraid that I'll be in the middle of ringing someone up and I'll start bawling!
The main thing is that you are okay. Thank God for that. Everybody else is right. The car can be replaced but you can't. I'll pray that this whole hastle works out real well for you.
WHAT WHAT WHAT!? AHHHHHHHHH! How do I miss the important threads!? You know, the ones about my girlfriend in a car wreak as opposed to "lick someone above you!" (and I swear if I see that thread, I'm going to sue on plagerism =P)
Anyway I'm soooooooooo happy your ok...I'm shocked by it cause I just read about it 10 seconds ago so I dunno what to really say at this point, except I'm happy your ok and those hospitals better stop poking you because thats MY job!
Becca, the main thing like everyone else has said is that you are ok. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers that everything works out for you.
The plate of cookies for the volunteers is a wonderful idea, they will greatly appreciate it. Having been voluteer rescue for almost 17 years it always puts a smile on my face to hear when someone makes a sweet gesture of thanks such as that. If you are going to do a card to them you can simply put to all the volunteers that were on the call the day of at such and such time at such and such place. I can tell you that it WILL go up on the bulletin board for all to see.
I wastotally gonna call him yesterday, but I was kindashaken up and my parents just kidnaped me for the day so I wouldn't have to sit there and think and thye kept me pretty busy...becides I wasn't thinking straight at all and SOMEONE isn't on their computer at midnight But yeah, I dind't talk to much of anyone yesterday, I just kinda let everyone else take care of things for me...otherwise I totally would've called!
Hmm..I dunno...I wouldn't mind that lick someon above you thread if you posted first..but then again, what are you doing licking some other girl? o_0 grrrrrrrrr And just saying you're glad I'm fine is plenty to say!..."You're totally awesome and I loooove you", would be a little beter, but I'll settle for what I can get, you did say you were in shock afterall, so I'll let it slide this time!...but next time I total a car I expect at least one "I love you!"
