All Shook Up

Well, I’m probably not going to be blogging this weekend, or at least for today.

 

I was in a car accident this morning and am pretty shook up. No one really got hurt, but I think I’m about to go to the hospital to get my knee checked out. I have a big welt where my leg slammed into the dashboard.

I was driving in the left lane of a 4 lane highway (2 lanes going one way, 2 going the other – no turn lane in the middle). So, I was in the left lane and this lady a little ahead of me in the right lane decided to make a u-turn and turned right in front of me, crossing over into my lane. I just couldn’t stop fast enough to not hit her, siince she just came into my lane to turn around.

I’m glad everyone is okay and no one was coming from the other direction because we ended up in the opposite lanes of traffic.

I’m pretty shook up and my leg hurts so we’re going to go have it checked out.

Anyways – if you don’t see any more posts from me, this is why.

 

Seat belts save! And airbags. Make sure you wear your seatbelt at all times. I don’t know what would have happened if I didn’t have mine on – the whole right front of my car is banged in from where she crossed in front of me and both my airbags went off.

  9. You have every reason to be all shook up. Those are scary times. Never ceases to amaze me, though, how much people turn their brains off when they get behind the wheel. I pick up far too many patients that way! Good idea to get your knee checked out, definitely not something to mess around with! Take it easy and take care :)

  10. Glad you are okay! It’s amazing how ignorant people are on the road. I hope everything is okay with your knee.

  11. I am so sorry, I hope you are starting to feel better. I think cars are terrifying – I’ve been in/seen some pretty bad accidents and now I am always jumpy when I’m riding in a car. I hope you did go to the hospital just to make sure everything was ok (and that everything was ok!).
