Car Accident tonight!



Recommended Posts

God I feel awful. I was in a car accident tonight. I was going almost 70, slammed on my brakes for suddenly stopped traffic, and rear ended a car on the freeway. The car I hit was a husband and wife...she is seven months pregnant. They luckily drive a Volvo and have very little damage. We called the police and they blocked the freeway with two firetrucks, an ambulance, and five police cars. I have never been so scared in all my life! In fact, it happened three hours ago and I am still shaking and crying. I just called the hospital and I spoke with her husband. They are releasing her and she and the baby are fine. But I am sooo freaked out over this whole thing. My car has alot of front end damage but is still drivable. The ambulance driver wanted to take me to the hospital to have me checked out but I told them I was ok. But now my neck on the right side is aching and I have my second killer headache for the day coming on. Maybe I should eat something? I haven't eaten all day. Just Water and two cups of coffee. But I feel if I consume anything it will come right back up. I don't have any Advil cause mom went out of town this weekend and took it with her. Oh, BTW...mom was in a wreck last night also. (and I wonder why I am stressed?????) She hit an orange construction barrell and ripped the passenger mirror off her car. She wasn't going to tell me, she hoped I wouldn't notice..LOL Yeah right! She was driving at night and she can't see too well anymore.

Sorry I just had to unload. I was hoping for a romantic weekend alone with my boyfriend since mom would be out of town. Herman turned 50 yesterday and has Strep throat, pneumonia, and Fluid in his lungs. They want to put him in the hospital Monday if he isn't better. Needless to say, he won't come near me for fear of getting me or my mom sick. So here I am...home alone freaking out over the accident and my head starting to hurt even more. Time for a run to the store for Advil....liquid..LOL

Thanks for listening!!!

How scary!!! I'm so sorry, but glad that you're ok and sounds like everyone else is too ~ just take it easy tomorrow because it always seems that you'll really feel it most the day after. Take some advil and maybe make yourself a margarita or something to try to relax abit ~ alcohol = good muscle relaxer!

Just a heads up, I had a small fender-bender years ago and thought I was fine. The next morning I could hardly move - I had whiplash.

Get yourself checked out and don't freak out if you really hurt tomorrow.

Big hugs!!

Oh you poor thing. I don't think any of us haven't experienced this at one time or another, I know I can totally relate to the shakey and crying feeling. Try some soothing tea, like chamomille(sp) and a hot shower with it running down your neck and back might be soothing as well.

I'm glad no one was seriously hurt, although you are probably in a lot of pain from the sounds of it, I hope that passes quickly.

My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.

Take care,

(((HUGS)))

Sorry to hear things are going so crummy for you. It seems like when it rains it pours.

Please rest, and hopefully all 3 of you will get to feeling better very soon.

Oh, Tammy, how awful! Strong vibes coming to you for peace and calm. What an ordeal for everyone. :) Thank goodness no one was seriously hurt...all else is just hassle. Please do see a doctor, though; you could indeed be injured and not know it.

Tammy -

I am so sorry. It sounds truly frightening. I'd be a mess, too. I'm sure the gentlemen appreciated you calling the hospital and checking on his wife.

In the meantime, I hope your BF is able to heal on his own and not have to be hospitalized.

Peace and Good Luck

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
