If you know me then you know what has happened to my girlfriend earlier this week. Not the way we wanted to start the new year and end the Holiday season. I know how she feels in a way and wish there was something I can do to help her. Another problem when it comes to long distance relationship, all I can do is sit back and watch terrible and great things happen to her. Rougher when she doesn't say anything to me. I have to call her up (If I can get a hold of her) and ask her how things are going. It is rough for me and for her too.
But to top this week off it is my birthday today and I lost my car in a accident yesterday. Imagine going to wrok in your car. Going about 45mph with three lanes to decide on and you take the far right lane. Now imagine you look up at the stop light and see a green light. So everyone is thinking the same thing right now 'I can keep going' and I did. Cross into the intersection and look at what is in front of you all of a sudden...A CAR!
Now I could not tell you how that car decided to show up in front of me and they not knowing I was there. My lights were on, I had a green light, my car is silver and a SUV so it isn't something you miss. I wasn't speeding so I have everything, by law, right.
Alright so I hit there car right on and come to a stop right in front of a pole for the stop light. Air bags go off on impact saying me from hitting my steering wheel with my head, and the seat belt stops my body from going forward too. When I stop I look to the left and see the car I hit rooling backwards along my car. Let me tell you many things went through my head at that moment. One was "They are leaving?"
So like a idiotic fool I am I jump out of the car and calling 911. Man that was the hardest three button pushing I have ever done. But soon I was talking to someone while I looked at the other car. I saw one of my co workers there and he was helping the other car's people. When he looked up at me he did a double take because it was me. I asked them if they needed help and he said yes. I went back to my car to talk to the operator on my phone and then I started to feel pain myself.
After I hung up with 911 my chest was hurting and I had problems breathing. Next thing I did was call my parents. Not sure what I said other then "I am in a accident and it isn't my fault" So they were on their way to me. Next I text a message to my girlfriend. I have this weird honor thing or something. I always feel like the ones who count the most to me should know what is going on in my life. So these three people were the only ones I contacted.
The police and fire truck showed up and lights were flashing all over. I was shaking from the shock of all this and my breathing was still not coming to me. A police man came up to me and asked for documents and such so I grab them and hand them over. He takes them then looks up. "well that was quick. The news is here already." And I laughed, or tried to anyways.
Next a fireman came up and asked me some questions about my body and I answered as best as I could. He pressed my chest lightly and I groaned. Him and the policeman said I should go to the hospital. Since it wasn't my fault it would not cost my insurance anything, though I didn't give a damn.
So I had my first neck brace put on, put on a stretcher, rolled to the ambulance, put into one, had air tubes put into me, and went to the hospital in a ambulance. Not sure how I feel having all this cherry taking happen to me in one day. But I do have to give the medics their spot of glory in this. While we were going down the street he put a IV in me with one shot. I figured I would have had five holes in me or something but they hit on first try.
So now I am in the emergency room and being asked questions. I send another text to my girlfriend, keeping her updated on my status though at this point I think she knows I will be alright. If you are texting someone you must be in good enough shape. My parents come in and we talk while they check me over. My breathing and pain have gone down and I am clear to go. I feel a bit foolish but they say it happens alot to first timers on accidents like this. They warned me I would be sore and they are right. I felt like I was skiing, lifting weights, got into a fight with someone and lost, and ran the mile all at once.
Well to say the least I was lucky in the end. I saw my car later that day and took pictures. The front went back and to the right. My back left passenger door was latched and broken. My doom light INSIDE the car was busted and the dash board on the passenger side was a good foot out. The driver area looked like it should, other then the air bag being out. I think I know why my area was like this and makes me scared a bit. But I am glade it was just me in that car and I came out with a sore body.
Now I am sitting here on my birthday with a sore right shoulder and neck writing all this down for you guys. I feel out of it and lonely. Always expected my Birthdays to be something more and they never are. One year...one year they will be. Hopefully.
So I sign off now
