Could have been worse right?

Car accident 

6:50pm Thursday night 12/1/16

My fault 

Other car's driver had no injuries and no other passengers 

Thank goodness 

Saw someone speeding behind me from my rear view mirror; they swerved around me but by the time I looked down again there was a car stopped completely in front of me 

I veered to the right but still hit the bottom right corner of her SUV

I hit the steering wheel and blacked out momentarily

When I came to, my hands covered my face and chest 

I was breathing deeply in and out over and over because of the pain and to calm myself down 

I didn't know where I was for a good five minutes as I sat there, cars swerving around me and sounds of glass crunching everywhere 

My glasses flew off my face 

Couldn't find my purse, cell phone 

My knees were killing me 

I pulled over to the side of the road somehow and found my phone on the floor and dialed 911

I could barely tell the operator where I was

I was shaking and crying 

The lady in front of me got out and was looking at her car

A cop arrived 

Wrote up the accident report 

I apologized to the lady 

Explained what happened 

She was nice 

She didn't want to leave me there 

Because I was so close to home 

And the car actually drove

The cop allowed me to drive it home 

Are you sure you don't need EMS?

All I could say was I don't know 

My chest hurt but I was walking around so I figured I was just shaken up 

I got home and the pain set in

I took a cab to the ER

EKG normal

Fractured rib 

Chest wall contusions (bruising)

Pain will get worse over next few days 

And yes, it is

Lots of rest

Ice

Muscle relaxers 

Pain meds

Still hurts like hell 

Thank goodness for sleep 

Thank goodness I am alive 

Car will be a total loss 

Almost paid off, naturally 

New tires

Excellent little car

I know I won't be given much for it from Geico

Have rental car 

But I'm afraid I'll have to get a new car 

And soon

Here's my little Scion, poor thing...
