I'm okay but a litle sore
Thanksgiving was good,I didnt eat too much and I felt actually really good. We all had to say what we were thankful for and I said my health and my life. I didnt know how true that statement would turn out to be the next day. We decided that we would go shopping at 7:30am at the outlet mall in Grove city on Friday morning. Well my mom and I were driving there we hit a black ice patch. She couldnt steer out of the swerve that we were in so she just stopped trying. The car hit the guard rail on my side of the car and proceeded to go down in to a 20-25ft ravine. We flipped over I think 2 times and ended up at the bottom of the ravine upside down. The car was still on when we stopped so we were able to get the windows down and crawl out that way. I was so terrified. I dont think anything will scare me ever again. I got up to the road and my uncle was there cause mom had called him on the cell phone and he was only like a mile away. He took me to the hospital cause I was shaking form being in shock and I also had thrown up. I got x-rays and a CAT scan done. The scan was normal but I have several broken ribs, a chest wall contusion and a ligament tear. So I'm a little sore but the pain killer they prescribed helps a little bit. As I'm writing this I'm still shaking from the memory. I just know my mom and I are lucky to be alive. I saw the car later that day and it was totaled. There was no way it could have been saved. So my in-laws called and said they would drive up and pick us up and drive us home. SO nice of them. So now my mom has to buy a new car and that will be a lot of money. I still cant believe I'm alive. I still have flashbacks and cant really sleep at night because of nightmares about the crash. Its like something you see in movies but never think will happen to you. My aunt was with me in the hospital and before my mom got there I was saying in my mind "I want my Mommy". No matter how old you get, when you are in the hospital you turn back into a little child in need of your mother. she also has a broken rib we think but she didnt get checked out like I did. Shes a tough woman. She can get through anything. Okay, now I'm crying again just thinking about this stuff. So just wanted to let everyone know that I'm okay but also what happened. I also am off work till the 6th of December.So I'm just here trying to heal and feel better.Please, if you pray, do so for a fast recovery for me, and that I can get some sleep without nightmares. I love you all and will see you later. HUGS carefully so not to jar my ribs. ;)
