Well, I have just been discharged from the hospital after being in an accident in which my car flipped. I escaped with only a 7 stitches split lip, a badly sprained jaw, badly bruised arm and numerous other small cuts and bruises. The man in the other car walked away unscathed. His car was crumpled in the front. Mine was totaled and they needed to use the jaws of life to get me out. And after all this. it was my fault. I had been turning left into a gas station, and somehow did not see his car at all, he hit my passenger side and flipped my car. The fire fighters needed to cut me out of my car with the jaws of life. Thank god I was wearing a seatbelt and had airbags that worked.
I guess what happened was, I was turning left into a gas station, and somehow I did not see the other driver one bit. I somehow missed the fact that a car was coming, I never even saw it, all I know is next I was hanging from my belt. I was more pissed than scared. They wouldn't let me get out of the car, but I guess that's for the best, I could have been hurt worse. I got to the hospital I was cat-scanned and sewn up, and I just hurt alot. I hope insurance takes care of all of this, but now I am poor and carless. It's going to be some rough weeks ahead. Heh I should start the Kosta relief fund. I hope the guy doesn't sue me....
The other thing that is killing me is my lip looks bad, and I can't play trumpet for probably about 2 weeks. So when I do heal I'm going to have to start over again as far as building up my lip, I am not looking forward to that. On the plus side I am optimistic that the wound to my lip will change my lip in some crazy way that will allow me to become the most amazing trumpet player ever. I can always hope.
Overall I'm ok, doped up on percosets, and stitched and iced. I hope things go well cause this was quite a blow. Hope I can keep up my schedule and recover from this mess. Good night.
