I just got in a really bad car wreck.
I was only going like, 55-60, tops, but it was raining and very hard to see.
Next thing I know, I am hydroplaning, and before I could react, I slammed into the guardrail, then we flew over to the other side, spun about 3 times, crashed into the other guardrail ( at this point I figured I was going to go through it, crash into a tree, and die) so it hit that, spun around and hit it again…(I think so anyways, it all happened so fast) then it flew us right back over to smash into the first rail that I hit.
Kind of like ping pong, I guess.
My car is TOTALED.
No back window at all, side window out, back is crushed, the tail pipe and all those things underneath were on the floor, lights were gone, sides are ruined, front pretty much fell off…
Thank God Tony was smart enough to check the car and realize that the lights were out in the back,
so he flagged someone down to park their car behind mine and put their hazards on so no one else would hit us, because people were just speeding by, coming wicked close to hitting us.
Tony is fine, but I think I fractured my elbow and arm, as well and injured my back.
My neck is killing as well as the rest of my body, really.
But I don't remember snapping it.
I guess my side airbags went off, which is why I think the left side of me is a lot more hurt.
Walking feels nearly impossible, and I except tomorrow to be worse.
Plus I am still wicked dizzy…even though I don’t think I hit my head on anything.
No more work again this week...great.
This week just keeps getting better and better.
And no, my gums/teeth have still not healed.
I'm surprised that I have yet to break.
Thankfully there we no other cars involved and we were not seriously injured.
I don't know what I would of done if I had lost Tony...
Proof yet again, seatbelts save lives.
I am sure that if we didn't have one on, at least one of us would be dead.
So I had to go to the hospital in a stretcher…they cut my favorite clothes in half =(
And I swear to God, every time I have been hospitalized, the person next to me is violently throwing up everywhere, as if puke is obnoxious enough, they are the kind of Vomiters that are extremely loud and gag forever afterwards, followed by bouts of dry heaves.
And then the other person next to me is either a crazy drug addict that overdosed and is dying, or got drunk and tried to kill themselves.
Then normally across my room there is a five year old girl throwing a tantrum, screaming at the top of their lungs and it makes me want to beat them on the face to shut up.
Next to that room it’s always some bitchy old lady, and the nurses can’t find the veins so they bitch and bitch and bitch then piss all over the sheets and crap in the bedpan.
And I always get the meanest nurses alive.
And being dropped...not placed nicely, from the strecher to the bed
(which wasn't even a bed, they had on that wooden thing that straps you in so you can't move your body. Yes, please throw me on a hard peice of wood to make my pain THAT much better.
God, I could never work at a hospital.
And the doctor was stupid and wouldn’t let Tony into my room to see,
even though he was fine,
so I had to lay there, crying by myself, needing his hand to hold.
And wanting to contact my best friend...but didn't want to ruin her vacation.
The ambulance people were awesome though and wicked funny.
One asked Tony if he “had anything good in the water bottle” for him to have, haha.
But we are alive so I guess that’s all that matters, although I am terribly depressed about the cost this will put my parents through. I just sat in the bed at the hospital bawling my eyes out feeling like no one will ever want to drive with me again, and that my parents will hate me for life and never let me drive in bad weather again and just how much I hate having the best parents in the world, spend all their money on me.
They deserve a vacation...and a better daughter I suppose.
I’ll updated more when I can.
Lots of painkillers and pain right now.
So I will sleep.
Tomorrow I have to go to my doctor and get more x-rays/ultrasounds (I might of hurt my kidneys and spleen as well).
But other then that, today was really good. Hah. No really, it was.
So yeah, no car for a while…and I will be stuck in my bed for a while, so visitors would be greatly appreciated, because, I will need the company or I will go mental like I did this past week.
-Edit-
9:19 a.m.
My head started to hurt a little bit last night.
Now it hurts so bad that it woke me up from sleep.
Plus I am extremely dizzy and feel like throwing up.
(I know it’s not the meds making me feel sick because I have been on them this whole week).
Which means I am going to have to get another M.R.I again today.
We are pretty positive that I fractured my arm/elbow…my mom thinks I have bleeding around the muscle of my arm...but I just hope I didn’t hit my head, not realize it, and really hurt my brain.
Because being in this much pain in my head (enough to wake me up out of a dead sleep and hurt this bad even though I had two Vicodins, and four Tylenols) and being this dizzy is not a good thing.
I’m very scared that I hit it against something, and I just don’t remember and now it’s going to do something bad to my brain.
I’ll find out at some point today after the Dr.’s and hospital today.
I pretty much have to get every single X-ray re-done...I'm assuming an ultrasound...and now get an MRI or cat scan.
This isn't a normal headache...I am going to have to go as soon as posible to get my head looked at.
-EDIT
4:53 P.M-
Got a cat scan and stuff, I have a concussion.
I’m in so much pain, it’s disgusting.
