I was in a car accident last weekend. Some mentally ill person stole a taxi cab and was driving out of countrol. He hit 3 other cars before hitting the one I was in. I was in the backseat and I didn't have my seatbelt on. I was tossed around really bad, and I don't remember anything about the accident. I just remember waking up in pain and being dragged out of the car by EMS personel. I was released several days later and I'm now at home. I'm still in pain and my body still aches. I have a broken pelvic and rib bones. I had some internal injuries but they have been healing. I can get up with a walker and move around, but I still suffer from extreme swelling on the side of my hip, as well as severe bruising on my side. I suffered some cuts and scrapes on my face, and had stiches placed on my eye lid and ear. The eye iid looks better, and the scabs are beginning to fall off. It won't be until six to eight weeks until I recover from my broken bones, and probably several weeks after that with therapy.
I just wanted to let you all know about my current situation, and that I miss you all and I am making progress toward recovery.
