There was a brief moment of confusion in which I wondered what could have made my car shake so violently. I then turned to my friend and said, "I'm prone to getting concussions, if I start acting weird or out-of-it, let me know." Yes, that was the first concern that came to mind. I have had 5 concussions before, 2 of them from car accidents.
The Good News
My car is still drive-able and insurance will be paying for everything. The damage to my car isn't all that bad, there is a 5 to 6 inch crack in my bumper.
The Bad News
The gentleman behind me has the unfortunate pleasure of hitting someone who already has previous injuries from a car accident (read: large doctor bills). Yes, 5 years ago I messed up my back and neck and have been paying for it ever since. I see a chiropractor on a regular basis to manage these problems. This means when I was hit it triggered some old injuries and I'm back to being in pain every day. A lot of pain.
Some of the pain is, as yet, unexplained and my doctor requested I get some x-rays done. This is me. Creepy. I so don't look this creepy.
The Other Good News
I've done everything the doctor ordered plus get a priesthood blessing and I am now doing quite a bit better. The pain is manageable at this point. Fortunately it was never as bad as the first accident.
Give me 4 to 6 more weeks and I'll be dancing again.
And that skeleton still creeps me out.
The x-ray is amazing! But then again, you'd probably expect me to find that cool. I'm glad to hear that the pain is manageable, and I hope it continues to get better.
ReplyDeleteFeel better, Windy! Plus, your skeleton is cool!
