i got in a car wreck. yes people. i was stopped with my turning signal on to turn into the gas station when i got *slammed* into from behind. it was a pretty hard impact, probably because i was completely stopped. he said he didn’t see me. i don’t know how he couldn’t have seen me. i’m really lucky the damage to my car isn’t any worse. it doesn’t really seem to be dented at all.
so, i missed my lunch date today, spent a good hour in the gas station parking lot waiting on the gsp and then dealing with the other guy’s insurance company, and then i spent about 3 hours at our lovely hospital getting checked out because my head and back hurt. it turns out i have a concussion. i guess it’s a good thing the doctor ordered a ct scan even though he “didn’t see the need for one”. or maybe our hospital’s er should start employing real doctors and not just physician’s assistants.
now, i have to work late for elections tonight, and my head and back are killing me. i can’t take the meds the doctor prescribed because i can’t drive after taking them. can you tell that i’m grouchy??
A CONCUSION??? OMG! I’m glad you weren’t hurt worse!
Oh Cady, that sucks – I’m so sorry. Accidents are so scary. Rest up when you’re home, and feel better soon. xo
Get yourself straight to the doctor and get a full checkup. Seriously, if there are lasting effects you want to show that you did everything you were supposed to. I’m so glad you are OK!!!
Oh wow. How horrible. I’m glad you weren’t hurt worse than you are, but still, that sucks. I hope you feel better soon.
So sorry!!! I hope you feel better! 🙁
I’m in the same boat with elections … handling the N. Ga. edition tonight on my own … on copy desk with only men. I’m dying.
OH NO~I’m so sorry! That must’ve been a pretty hard impact for you to have gotten a concussion. I’m glad it wasn’t any worse~wrecks are so traumatic! Did the Dr. Asst. you saw order you a few days rest to recover? I hope you feel much better soon! Get plenty of rest & relaxation!! Take care!
Ugh!!! What a bummer! And I’m so sorry you have a concussion. I hope you feel better soon.
