Hi. Well I sure forgot about this thing, eh? Yea. Where to start. I got in a car accident. My car is dead, I'm not dead- that's about all I have to be thankful for at this point.\ I am completely amazed at how the human brain works when something like this happens. It's like your entire body goes on auto pilot. I have no memory of the accident, I remember right before it happened and right after but I don't remember the car spinning or the air bags coming out. I was on my way to work at about 6:30 am- going through a green light when out of no where this hudge truck ran the red light. It was like slow motion and all I remember thinking was "shit." It happened too fast and I couldn't stop. Then I heard tires squealing, glass breaking...people screaming. Then I blacked out. Next thing I know I'm stopped, facing the wrong way, shattered glass all over me, air bags deflating, blood dripping off my head...... my radio was still playing..... wierd. I got out of the car and I couldn't stop shaking. Some people ran over and asked if I was ok. I couldn't speak. I just kept shaking. Then the ambulance came and kept asking me questions that I couldn't answer Once I got to the hospital they figured out that I was in shock. Lovely. Turns out I had broken the drivers side window with my head and I had a gash running along the side, the airbag had broken my wrist and gave me two black eyes and I tore some ligaments and muscles in my back. I was in the hospital for 3 days for' observation. ' It's been a month since the accident. I still have a cast on my wrist (right hand) so I am typing with my left hand (sucks) and I have to go thru 3 months of physical therapy for my back. His insurance company is paying for my medical bills and giving me a settlement for pain and suffering, they also payed for my car, which was totalled. Everyone keeps telling me I should sue. Whatever. I just want it to be over. I just hope that the man learned his lesson and doesn't hurt anyone else- that's all that matters to me. The police report says that the light was green for 30 seconds when the truck went thru it. They also tell me that if I had been going a second faster he would have ran right into the side of my car and ripped it in half and I would be dead. All because he didn't want to wait for the next light. Fucker. YEAH! Why is it so damn hot?? If I wanted this I would have stayed in Phoenix. I'm a grumpy old bag. Post a comment in response: |
