Of Car Accidents and Emergency Rooms (poor dollfie went along)

The Short story...
Was in my first car accident last night, and so was my poor Gavin (dz Hid). Poor guy lost his headcap and wigs and all that jazz went EVERYWHERE!!! I feel terrible but I am alright (read the long one if you want stupid details.) But yeah I am okay just really sore, got to ride in an ambulence, not fun. Head in neck brace (while wanting my bloody dolly) really not fun. Hearing the car on a tow, sure knew they werent moving the other guys I was being held on that one incase of injury. The paramedic asked if I needed anything out of the car and this is the dialogue that followed...
Me: Yes
Para: What is that?
Me: My dollfie.
Para: Your what?
Me: My dollfie, ask my mother.
Para: She's going in the ambulence with you.
Me: Then ask my dad! He will know!
Para:...alright.
He by all intents and purposes is fine. Just rattled.
The Long story of the accident
Yeah thats what I said. And I was infact the one in the ambulance. And I am sorer then I have most likely ever been.
Now the explanation.
Was all peachy keen on my way to fencing. Never did make it to fencing though, or even to the checkers. (If you saw all the sparkly lights at Harry and Southeast Blv. that was me.)
Series of events: Light was red - started slowing down - light turned green - started speeding up -started slowing down when giant pick up truck looked like he wasn't yielding on his turn - he stopped turning - I continued driving - he decided to turn after all - Air bags go boom - I start crying as my face is now on fire.
ZOMG so freaky though climbing out of the car, I almost fell over. (My knees, since I sit so close, smacked pretty hard.) As well as the side of my face because my reaction was to turn away.
ER visit
I didn't want to go to the hospital till mom was there, I wasn't screaming in pain, just in a LOT of it. So waited for the parents to get there, didn't want to go. (Good gods I heared mom before I saw her as it was, let alone if I had been gone. Heck actually I didn't see her for a while cause of the collar.) Road in the ambulance. Was told by the paramedic it was weird how 'calm' I was...heheh. Got to Wesley, the ceilings made me dizzy. They poked and prodded me took my blood preasure about 6 plus times. I was taken for x-rays... whole nine yards. Forced to remain completely straight for all the time I was there. (And for me thats hard.) One of the Fire Fighters, probably the one originally holding the brace on my neck, called my cousin Charlie (he's a fire chief) and told him. He called his wife, who works there and had her come down and check on me.
My luck
I had an on duty police office as one of my two witnesses. As well as a witness statement of the lady behind the old guy in the truck. Me and my mom also gathered he wasn't very fond of the old guy that hit me. But when I mentioned to my mom he didn't even ask if I was ok or say anything she figured thats probably one of the reasons he didn't like him. Coupled with the fact that he claimed he had a green arrow, and the cop could hear the lady in the car behind him yelling it wasn't an arrow....
exciting...haven't really seen the end result of our poor totalled little car though. Only what was visible on the drivers side when I got out. The cop said the impact lifted the car up off the ground. x_X I was probably going around 40. Ouchy.
