The neck brace of doom...

[kellifer]

So, I was rear-ended last night pretty badly. I was driving home from work later than normal because we had a meeting run long and this woman pulled out in front of me and I was able to stop in time to not hit her but the guy behind me?

Not so much...

I had to spend six hours in the hospital, three and a half of which in the uncomfortable hard neck brace so they could clear my neck and spine. I have whiplash and am home feeling mostly annoyed by the whole thing.

Only three days ago I was telling someone I was in a position to pay my car out free and clear which would be one less debt I would have to worry about.

This is the fates having a big old laugh at me.

The guy who hit me wasn't insured so while I am, he's going to have a more horrible time of it I suspect. His car was totaled. Plus, my insurance company will be wanting to recover their money from him some way.

Urgh.

You never wake up in the morning thinking your day is going to end so badly.

Oh, that's just awful! I hope your insurers come through for you and you feel better! I was wondering where you were yesterday, actually....

But I hope all the love for your wonderful fic is cheering you up! Also, see icon for extra cheer!

It sounds all pretty straight forward. I was hit from behind so it's pretty clear I'm not at fault so they've already arranged for work to be done and everything.

*touch wood that it all stays relatively pain-less*
