My 88 Cutlass Supreme is no more.... it is wrecked beyong repair. I wrapped it around a tree on the Jamaica Way on the first day of school (around 6:40 AM). The front end is smashed upwards, the passenger side roof is compacted inward, the trunk is compressed from the force of the blow, the doors were stuck shut because they were also compressed.
All this from hydroplaning at a mere 20MPH!! My car fucking fishtailed and I went head on into the tree... as in not a single part of my car was on the road.... i opened my door to get out and I was standing on the sidewalk..... thats how bad it was.
The Ambulance, after strapping me to a board and tapping my head down, took me to Beth Israel. The checked me out... took X-Rays... I refused an IV so they had to draw 4 or 5 tubes of blood manually... I had An EKG done, so my thick chest hair has these super adhesives on it (therefore I have chunks of chest hair, and leg hair missing). My mom was on her way to work about 2 minutes behind me, and saw my car as the ambulance was taking me away. So my mom, sister, and grandmother came and saw me after I was released from teh Trauma room.
The Nurses there were wicked good... they helped me cover up my tattoo so my mom still wouldn't see it. In the ambulance and the Trauma room I was cracking jokes non-stop, while attached to a board!! I was making everyone laugh... they liked me!
My chest is completely bruised from where the seat belt caught me, I have a cut on my chest, hand, and leg, as well as some other minor bruising.
After Iw as released from the BI at Noonish I went to BLS to pick up my scheduale... if you happened to see me I was in a wheelchair because I can't really walk.... so I might have a cane tommorrow. I saw Ms. Tibbits (who my mom had called and notified that i was in an accident), the nurse, Mr. Keitt, and talked with Mr. Habestraugh and Miss Kelly.
I'v spent the day in and out of sleep.... Thanks to Melissa, Michelle, Doogun, Mikey Vee, Lauren, Courtney, and Kathleen who came to visit me. Kathleen and Lauren bought me a red rose and a get better card :) xoxo
My mom was so glad that I was alive (after crying) that between BLS and my house we went to "the graves" (my grandfather on my dad's side "Papa", my grandfather on my mom's side "Da", and then to John's grave #40 RIP) to thank them for saving me..... and I've decided to say thanks by attending Mass on Sunday with my mother.
I need some rest now.
Much love to all my Girls and Cousins everywhere, Peace, Shants
