Yesterday, I went to go to the gym, which is about 50 minutes away (everywhere decent is far away >:O) I took the shortest route, which happens to be almost all back roads, and very curvy o_-. I was going about 25 mph, and when I went to turn right, I was quickly sliding left….I crossed the next lane….I didn’t even have time to react, to turn the wheel in the direction I was sliding. Bright white snow slammed on the windshield. I bumped my head hard on the glass sunroof, and then I woke up. The radio was blaring, and I could feel the car was tilted so far forward…fear and panic shot through my body. I knew I was out, because the snow had mostly cleared from the windshield, and I was achy. I saw that I had landed in a ditch, and I started flipping out…I was afraid I could have hit a car, with other people in it. I climbed outside (it was kinda hard to do that, the door was stuck) and then I landed in the creek (the water came up to my ankles, and it was ice numbing cold >_< ) I looked around, and there were no other cars. I sat/fell down hard in the cold wet snow, and started to cry really hard (I think I was in shock/crying out of relief/scared/confused -_- ) I was freaking out because I was afraid of the damage to the car, what my mom would say, how mad she would be at me….=\
I looked up at the road, and it was taller than me >_<. I swung my purse up, and with a lot of time and struggling, I climbed up to the road. By the time I was done, I was soaking wet, and it was getting very, very windy (I think it was supposed to be about 10, 15 degrees outside *shiver*). Because it was a back road, houses were mostly rare….and I don’t have a cell phone. My headache had started up, so I was pretty shaky as I started walking down the road, knowing I had a long, long walk. A van went by, and then backed up very quickly. He opened his door while talking into a radio, calling for the police and ambulance. He asked me if I was ok, but I was too busy shaking and crying to answer >_<. He got me to sit in the front seat with the heat full blast (I somehow knew to trust him, I usually have a huge fear of strange adult men o.o) He looked at the back end of my car sticking up in the air, and then decided to move the van, in case someone else slid on the curve. As he was talking into the radio thing, we heard a loud screech and a huge crash, and he ran outside. It turns out a car slid on the curve, and hit a tree 5 feet away from my car ( 0.0!!! ) All the snow fell off the tree, and buried his car….
When the ambulance finally came, they put a neck brace on me (I knew my neck wasn’t broken….>_< ) put me in a head strap sort of thing, strapped me to a stiff board (very, very uncomfortable >_< ) and stuck me in the ambulance. There was an old guy in there, and he was trying to stick a needle in me, for an IV….personally, I don’t think he knew what the heck he was doing. He stuck me about 13 times, twisting, pulling, jabbing (There is two bruises, each half the size of my palm =( …lol, the worst part is, he never was able to jab the needle in a “good enough” place, so all the jabbing, twisting and pricking was really for nothing >_< ) I was shivering and shaking the whole time I was in the ambulance…
When I finally got to the hospital (after some embarrassing moments including removal of wet clothing >.- ) I got a CAT scan, and a neck and back X-ray. The results showed nothing was broken, and they finally took the neck brace off (w00t!!) When I finally got dressed and stuff, it was 4:00. I asked if I could leave, and they told me the only way they would let me leave is if I got someone else to come and get me (Blah, I forgot about my car!! Where is it??? 0.0 ) I called home, and no one was there….I called again 15 minutes later, and my brother answered. I told him what happened, and he said he would tell our mom when she got home. I sat in a little room from 4:00 until 7:30 at night, when my mom had finally came home from work and grocery shopping, then went right off to get me. (She came at the hospital at 7:30) I spent three and a half hours worrying and thinking…..thinking and worrying *sigh* =\
I felt so lonely throughout the whole accident...
The doctor told my mom to wake me every two hours during the night. If she couldn’t wake me up, she was supposed to call the ambulance…. I guess that means people who have concussions aren’t allowed a good nights’ sleep. >_<
Today, I called the not-so local police (the station is an hour away >_<) and they told me who towed the car. After getting a bit lost, we finally found the place that had it…
All that was broken was a part under the driver’s side door (you can’t really see it, but you have to shut the door extra hard to get it shut) and a rock from the creek broke a small headlight. Snow was shoved into the radiator part, and that could be easily removed by hand. I am really glad about that, things could have been much, much worse..
I do have to pay for everything out of my pocket though, and it is kinda…empty >_<
Ah well, I really hope I start the job soon, so I can be out of dept to my mom =(
I thought it was really nice of my brother to post on my otaku...sometimes he can be really sweet, and sometimes he can be a real honest to goodness jerk. *Thinks about brother's Dr.Jykle/Mr.Hyde act* Sometimes, I love him and hate him at the same time...=\
I have too many complicated sad/troubling issues/thoughts racing through my head....it makes my headache worse ;_;
