Today we were in a car accident...
My H pulled out in front of traffic and the car hit my side but missed hitting my door directly....THANK GOD..
It was SCARY..they didn't want me to move until the paramedics came..but I'm mainly just sore and shaken up..
I was panicking though...
My H CRIED LIKE A BABY and the POLICE OFFICER HAD TO CONSOLE HIM..saying, "I could have killed her"....
It was all very emotional for us both...
He said that he learned a lot from this..that it happened for a reason..he's been very solemn all evening and now has gone to sleep...
I made it happen..a joyful life..filled with peace, contentment, happiness and fabulocity.

Glad you didn't get seriously hurt. Might take a little time to get over the shock though, so take care. TT

Mimi - unless you are in a time zone where it is about 7pm... you need to go to sleep! You were in, what sounds like, a serious automobile accident today! You are going to feel like you got hit by a train tomorrow and I for one am hoping you were given some EXCELLENT muscle relaxers because you are going to feel like pooh tomorrow. So - go to bed! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> ~one nosey lost sheep, formerly known as "bossy" (for reasons that should now be apparent if not before) *glad to hear you are ok!*

Oh mimi...so sorry to hear about the accident. I'm sure you are stiff and sore this morning. Time for self-care. Your DH is probably needing it as well. How horrifying for him.
Not to make light of it in any way...was it your cute little sportscar??

Mimi,
So glad you are okay. I hope you went to the Emergency Room after. My wife is an ER nurse, and almost two years ago, she was rear-ended. She said she felt fine at the scene, so she just went home.
Each day after that, she got a little worse. Now? She is on several pain meds, has shooting pains down her arm, and sometimes cant get out of bed. She is in deposition today for the lawsuit to have her $100,000 worth of medical bills paid by the insurance of the other party. And why is it so hard to do so right now? Because she didnt get checked out!! She came home for two days before going in. And as an ER nurse, she knew better!! Now, the opposing lawyers are having a field day this morning with her. "So, Mrs. mortarman...how do we know these injuries didnt happen in the following two days after this accident?"
Get checked out! Take care of yourself. You never know for sure what damage has happened, especially with whiplash! Follow up with your doctor in a week, after everything settles down.
And give your husband a hug! He probably needs it right about now!

How are you feeling today??

Mimi,
I just now saw this....I've never posted to you (I think), but wanted to let you know, I know what you're going through. I was in a horrible accident two days before Thanksgiving, and it was a head-on collision. Someone was waiting to turn across traffic in front of me when they were hit from behind. That pushed him into my lane and I could do nothing to stop. The man who was rear-ended and then hit by me, died. I had my daughter and her friend in the car with me....fortunately (miraculously) we were not seriously hurt.
The worst part for me didn't really begin until about a week after....I was so terrified of driving, and I was very emotional. Realizing how much is out of our control was the hardest thing I ever had to deal with.
Hope you're doing ok!
NOW

Mimi,
WE love you too!
Please listen to MM had to say about having yourself checked out. It's easier to treat an underlying problem if you catch it sooner than later...

Glad you're all right. Accidents like that can be life-altering, so make sure you take it easy for a while and let it sink in.
