I had a shower and omg it took three hair washes to get all the coffee, with creamer, out of my hair lol.
Snack went and got us Mexican, my fav, and i'm just gonna chill out. I did go to get a cup of coffee a few minutes ago and my right bicept is already sore. I'm sure it will get worse before it gets better lol.
I am so, so fortunate i wasn't hurt worse. Thank God i wasn't in a car, or small car. I have always loved my xterra. Now i love it even more.  |
Several years ago, I was sitting at a red light on an overpass when a very sober but stupid (and uninsured) driver decided to try to beat the light behind me. The guy behind me saw him coming and moved off to the shoulder which means he rammed into the back of me. And I rammed into the back of the Jeep Cherokee that was in front of me. Crumpled my van like a slinky. My airbags didn't go off but the lid to my coffee did. And the 12 pack of soda I had in the back busted open and turned into little carbonated projectiles. I was not injured. I felt ok. Until I lit a cigarette and tried to smoke it. The act of inhaling made all of the muscles under my chin and down my neck scream. That's when I really found out what whiplash was!
I am glad you were not severely injured. I know you said you opted for Employee Health but you didn't say if you actually went.
If you didn't, go tomorrow. If you did and they suggested PT, don't put it off. I did about three weeks and it wasn't fun but I know it helped.
Take care of yourself. Hot shower, warm blankets. Oh, and chocolate really helps.
