I'm ok




But my car is totaled. There was a picture up there but I deleted it because I'm trying to forget it.

Instead, here's a picture of the blue sky.

Thank god the girl I was with, who was in the passenger seat, was wearing a seatbelt too because she's fine too. I had just met her.

I'm still a little muddle-headed.

-----

Thanks for all the kind words.

I'm going to make an appointment with the doc today.

My neck's a bit stiff but hopefully that'll clear up.

I just spoke to the girl; she went to work but is leaving early because she's going to see the doc. This was only our second date. At least we'll both remember each other vividly.

Well, in a way, this is a good date story, no? We both walked away almost completely unscathed.

On another note entirely, I was actually sleeping well last week.

Last night...not so much.

Oh shit.
How scary. I'm glad you're both ok physically, but I know from experience that a bad wreck can leave a mental scar for a while. Be good to yourself.

I've never cursed in this blog.

But when this all went do, "Oh shit!" was my thought exactly.

I may buy myself a doughnut today.

I think so. My neck hurts like the dickens but I was mostly worried about the chick.

She says she's ok but she's gonna see the doc anyway.

The cabbie that hit us looked like a million bucks.

Holy shit, indeed (I'm going to be cursing a lot in this entry, I feel it).

I think we're both ok. I'm contemplating going to see the doctor regardless but, man, buy Japanese when you buy a car.

The picture does NOT do the scene justice. It was pretty insane.

She took a DIRECT hit. The cop on the scene said that it was totally the angle of impact - 6" to the right and it would have been a completely different story.

Was thrown back some 30 feet.

We both seem totally fine - she ended up walking home.

It happened just last night, just after midnight in Harlem.

Craziness.

jesus christ. relieved that you and the girl didn't suffer any major injuries. usually you don't start feeling the pain til a day after the accident - once the adrenaline wears off - so i strongly recommend that you two see a doctor immediately.

Hey, sorry to hear about this accident happening but am glad to hear that you and your friend walked away from it. I do recommend seeing a doctor though because some injuries may not show up till later. I'm sure you've heard it already. Take care and I hope you both feel better.

Always see the doctor. The adrenaline can make you ignore a minor fraction for up to a few days. Need to set up a paper trail. If you don't go right away the lawyers say, 'well you were fine enough to avoid it for a few days' or 'anything else could have happened between the accident and the day you finally went to the doctor to cause your pain'

I hate it. Because sometimes it's just soreness but you gotta pay out to see the doctor. Luckily they reimburse you for everything.

I don't know if you're a chiropractic kind of guy, but I'd really recommend finding a good one for something like this. We see so many people who've been in car crashes and unknowingly suffer a lot of damage to their spine. Looks pretty brutal...hope you're finding a good way to unwind.

Gah, the thing with accidents, at least of this kind, is how you truly think up to that point that your reflexes would somehow kick into gear. But nope, just Bang and everything goes black. At least it did for me, when I blinked and rear-ended someone 3 years back (off a minor road feeding a parking lot fer chrissakes).

I ended up in an ambulance as I was a bit shell-shocked, but walked out of emerg fine, cept my burny burny face from the caustic airbag powder. My Acura was smashed all the way to the engine, but the American boat I hit didn't have so much as a dent.

To share, take a look at my airbag face here: http://i.xanga.com/Stickles/picture%20166.jpg

Luckily all the scabs fell away within a week, and I stopped looking like a monster, like this:
