BLAH!!! Get ready for complaining - because I'm about to dish it out.
I went to the chiropractor again today to see my x-rays that were developed from yesterday. Basically my neck is screwed. Normally, necks curve outward and then go back inward again. That's how mine was before the accident. Yeah, well...because of the severe, double-impact whiplash, now my neck curves the other way. The OPPOSITE direction that it's supposed to. He said that it takes ATLEAST 3 months to treat, and it will never be back to normal. But this means that I'll still need treatment in college. For the next 2 weeks I have to go to him every day and then I'll have to go frequently over the summer. I have to wear a neck brace when I am sitting at home on the computer or watching TV. I have to have a special pillow now. And I have to have ultra-sounds and electro-something therapy as rehab. When I was getting out of a bean-bag chair today, I couldn't lift my head up normally. I had to take my hand and push it forward to be able to stand up. That is just sad. Oh, and my dad is an ass and thinks that it's "just a stiff neck" and will go away and doesn't really want my treatment to be extensive. Sorry buddy - but my neck bends the wrong flipping way. I want the damn treatment.
So yeah, I'm really messed up now. And I guess I'll be in pain for a little while. Great.
Oh, and we found out about my car. Basically, if we wanted all new parts in it, it's considered totaled. So, instead of getting new parts and having it be totaled, we are getting some new parts, some used parts, and some parts that are made by other companies or something. So I'll get my car back. It's just sad that it is basically totaled...
Good news:
-I only have to go to first hour tomorrow.
-I spent the evening with Kayla and laughed tons (which hurt my neck, but was still nice).
-I got $125 worth of Graduation money in the mail today.
-4 more days.
