So last night I was in a really bad car wreck. My car is most likely totaled. Don and Brian have been super. Don came and got me and Brian sped down through the pouring rain to meet us at work. Don took me back to SOS, where he that "everybody loves Don" charm to get me looked at by a nurse and a doctor, who told me to go to the ER. Once there, I was able to see a nurse/ xray/ doctor staff pretty quick. I have no broken bones, only contusions on my chest and back and some light (but painful) abrasions. I had one really nasty scrape on my left arm and when the nurse was swabbing it, it hurt like living fuck. I felt like I was going to barf and they made me lie down and, after a bit, eat a cracker and apple juice, which really helped.
Today I'm sore but okay. I'm dealing with lots of insurance stuff, doctor's stuff, towing company stuff, police department stuff, and lots of parents stuff. I was laughing with Brian that I was more concerned about our parents' reactions than myself.
It's not entirely true. My car was hit by a ten-wheeler Wonder Bread truck after hydroplaning in circles down a very busy highway in a terrible rainstorm. I'm having a hard time getting the image of the truck about to hit me out of my head. I just kept saying "no no no".
So yeah. It definitively sucks. But I'm dealing with it.
