MY OH MY OH MY------WHAT HAPPENED??????



My Head hurts, my neck, my back, shoulders, knee also hurt, can't understand why!!!!!! Can you???????????

So it was a nice warm Sunny Sunday and I was driving from church to my friends house for a nice Sunday dinner. I was thinking how nice the morning meeting was, how lucky I was to be alive, have a great family and wonderful friends. I was thinking about how nice it would be if spring was here and was going to stay, when I turned around the corner from Crombie onto Middleton and bang before you knew it I had driven into a parked car.



I still am not one hundred percent sure what happened. I truly believe that the sun must have gotten into my eyes and I did not see the car. This was my very first accident and it sure does shake you up. I was taken to the hospital by ambulance to be checked over. They ran a bunch of xrays, put a collar on my neck and checked for spine injury and head injury.

After a few hours at our famous Cambridge Memorial hospital they said I was free to go and that I was not to stay alone for the first 24 hrs in case of head injury. Well by Tuesday my head ache and my aches and pains had not subsided very much so off to emergency I went again. Once again after a few hours they sent me home and told me I should get some massage therapy on my neck and back because of whip lash and also I had a concussion. They said concussions can last for months and hopefully only days and the head ache should start to go away.

I can not believe how wonderful my insurance company has been in helping me out with everything. With in a few hours of reporting the accident they had a rental car here at my home. They authorized immediately for me to get a massage when I told them about this and the massage therapist suggested physio so they immediately approved that as well. I also broke my glasses in the accident and they authorized me to go and get an eye exam and new glasses as well.

Now I am not stupid I realize my insurance will probably go up but if it has to go up they might as well be paying for the things I pay insurance for.

I was also charged in this accident and I should have been cause it clearly was my fault. So when the police officer came to the hospital to see me it did not surprise me at all when he handed me the ticket. I have a wonderful lawyer in the family and he says we will be able to get this reduced in cost and points and that it should not effect my insurance as badly.

I am so thankful to God that this was not more serious and that there was no other people involved and that it was just a car. It is still very disturbing but it could have been far more serious. God is watching over me and helped to keep me safe. I am so grateful for this. My God is an awesome God!
