Car Accident #2 in Two weeks!

Happy New Year! Mine has started off with a bang, pun very much intended. Tuesday of this week I got a phone call from Cezanne saying she forgot her lunch- I hurried to throw some goodies in a lunch box and ran out the door. I entered onto 290 E and exited onto Northbound Lamar - suddenly my car was floating toward the median cement wall. I tried to correct but at 55 mph all you can do is watch the wall. I hit the wall, with the drivers side bumper, bounced off the wall and ran smack dab into it again and stopped. My airbags didn't deploy! My car was dead in it's tracks and the impact from my seatbelt knocked the wind out of me.

A lady who was driving behind me pulled over and called 911. I tried to dial but was having trouble moving my left hand. When I got the numbers dialed they put me on hold!!! There were so many accidents they had to put me one hold. I tried to tell them where I was but I was shaking and terrified. The fire truck arrived and pushed my car out of the way and as soon as they did a truck a 1/4 mile up the road in the same spot did the exact same thing! Then it was mass chaos- fire trucks, ambulance, police cars galore!! How embarrassing- I ran my car into a wall. I called Joe to come get me, we had to wait for the tow truck. I was still in shock because the pain really didn't start to set in until we had been there for about an hour. Then it was too much. My neck, my shoulders and especially my left shoulder were throbbing. The tow truck came hauled "fluffy" away to the city yard and my insurance company took care of the rest. Joe and I drove to Cezanne's school, we made it 5 minutes before her lunch started then I asked him to drive me to urgent care. I now have a very fashionable cervical collar, steroids for the inflammation, pain killers for the pain and muscle relaxers, yuck. I'm better today, but I can only stand in spurts. I think I've reached my quota for car accidents this year.
