In Which Kirsten Is Hit By A Truck: summary
So, yeah. For those of you who don't know... I was hit by a truck on Sunday morning while I was walking my dog.
I was discharged from the hospital Tuesday night at around 11 and have been home resting ever since.
My dog is fine.
I didn't break any bones, somehow. Just a nice laceration in my head being held together by some staples.
and the doctors say there shouldn't be any permanent damage.
That being said.
This sucks.
I am covered in scabs that itch and hurt at the same time.
I can't wear real clothes because of all these scabs
I can't sit up, stand up, walk or even sit DOWN by myself.
I can't wash my hair.
and all i want to do is scratch
and not have a splitting headache.
oh yeah, and not have my entire body hurt.
so, uh, yeah. in case you ever wondered, getting hit by a truck going anywhere from 30-60 mph really sucks.
but today was actually a pretty good day once i got past the morning misery.
I got to go sit outside for a little while and say hi to my puppy for the first time since the accident.
She can't come near me because she gets to ecxited and jumps on me, which isn't good.
but i got to pet her for a minute (as long as lizzy held her down) and i fed her a treat!
and Michal and her husband came over and brought me cookies and some books
(which I can't actually read because of my head wound/medication)
and KT came yesterday and gave me a CD before she went to work.
but it's just really touching to hear how many people who i don't even know are concerned about what happened.
a teacher at Dina's school baked a veggie lasagna for us and called this evening to make sure i was okay.
it's just crazy, the kindness of strangers.
not to mention, of course, how amazing lizzy and my roommates have been so wonderful about taking care of me and i don't know what i would have done without them.
and i can't really remember what i'm talking about because i'm on so many pain killers and muscle relaxers right now that i can't even remember what day it is.
so. uh.... yeahhhhhhhhh
