Rear-ended... again
Last night around 6 on my way home from work I was rear ended. I was also rear-ended on June 19th. This time, when the person said just like last time, "I didn't hit you that hard we don't really need to call the cops" I did what I did last time... I said, oh, no, I'm definitely calling the cops.
She got arrested. She was driving someone else's car. Luckily, the guy's car is insured. My car doesn't show a lot of damage (last time there was $1900 worth of damage to my car but no visible exterior damage.) but her car was pretty damaged on the front.
The paramedic was a complete asshole, telling me that I wasn't hit very hard and that it wasn't that big of a deal and that I needed to calm down. I told him it wasn't about this accident.
Is it ever really about what happens in a moment when you can't take any more damage? Isn't it just the culmination of all of the previous blows? Any one instance can never be taken as that, unless you're extremely enlightened. And I feel that what I've learned from previous pain has actually helped me deal with every challenge. Baggage is a lot to carry, but sometimes you don't realize you're carrying it until the next incident occurs.
I was so rational during the other accident. That was before I found out I couldn't work for weeks. Before I lost all the financial ground I was beginning to gain.
I gave a massage today, but I didn't tell her that I had been in an accident. She is my massage therapist who has been working with me since the june 19th auto accident. She decided to schedule this massage last week, and it was the first one I've given her. I was supposed to do two other massages today, but I began feeling the overload and went to the chiropractor this afternoon.
If you pray, please pray for me. If you could please send any positive energy you can my way, I would greatly appreciate it. I really need it right now.
Thanks to everyone who has been so supportive through all of this. I love you all and I don't know what I would do without you.
