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.

That's always the way. Just when you think things are going well... OUCH. Thank the fates that you're basically okay though. The universe is NOT ALLOWED to injure you!

That just sucks...but, I'm glad you weren't more seriously injured.
3 seconds space between your cars, people...and at night, 4 seconds!

I was hit by a car when I was on a bike, and it took a while for my neck to get better; what really helped was when the doctor gave me some exercises to do. If pain persists, don't hesitate to ask for help, and to do whatever it takes: exercises at home, a little PT, whatever. Really. I wish I'd voiced my problems sooner.
But I hope you don't have to worry about that. I'm so sorry; that's awful to go through! Shoot, I got thrown from a bike (twenty-five feet, according to one witness; not surprisingly, I don't remember), and they only kept me about half as long as they kept you in the hospital! I was wearing a helmet. Always wear a helmet when cycling.
Sometimes it seems like it might help when driving, too!

I'm glad you are mostly intact. I hope the whiplash doesn't hang around too long.

*fetches and carries for you, moral support-wise, until recovered*
And I'm sorry about your car, because that sucks out loud. :(

Take care of your neck and treat it gently until the docs say you're OK. I'm just glad you *are* OK, really.

In other news, I had to blink when I saw your name on my friend Heidi8's LJ! I've known her for virtually for, um...(counts on fingers)...13 years years. We met back in the dark ages of the 'net on a Friends mailing list. A list that's still active, I might add. I got to meet her face last May.
She was uber-squeeful about the fic you wrote, and I had to agree with her that you rock. :) It was pretty funny to see two utterly divergent corners of my life cross. :)
