weird and not so wonderful year?

I was hit on I95 by a tractor trailer. My beloved 350z is squished on the rear, windows blown out on the driver's side, driver's side rammed from the front quarter panel all the way to the rear light and who knows what else. I was somewhat out of it when I saw them tow my beloved away.

I'm basically okay, which is a miracle considering he hit me once, then I spun a couple of times before he broadsided me which sent me spinning off again. I drove out of the last spin and *then* I fell apart, lol. The scariest part was seeing that grill in my face come through the window -- EEEEK!!

I was in the emergency room until 4:00 with all the trauma cases and they told me it might be more than an hour before the got to see me (I had already done the intake exam). So I left and will see my doc on Monday. I've got a wallapalloosa of a headache and my neck shoulders and back are stiffenning up - small change compared to what might have happenned if I spun off the bridge we were on, thank goodness.

So, I guess that solved my problem of whether or not to keep my z :-(

I'm thanking goodness that I came out of this, whew.

And my trusted service dog, Jackson, was so scared that he pooped all over the seat on the passenger's side which I had to slide across to get out of the car. Well, you can guess the rest of the story -- smelly and gross all over my butt. Hurt, scared, AND embarressed...



*sigh*

OMG Beamerdog. Having had too crashes in our household on the same day this year was scary, so I can empathise. Here in the UK, they say it comes in threes. Hopefully that was the third bad thing and it can now get better for you.

Huge hugs (((((Beamerdog))))) and love from the Baloos.

I hope Jackson will be ok too as he could be a bit scared to go back in a car now too!

Once he was out of my car and into the police cruiser he regained his composure pretty quickly. Tonight is the first time he's been able to tear himself away from sitting/lying leaning against me.

He sees a chiropractor who comes to the CPL campus regularly. I'll give them a call to see when she's available and have him checked out. I have stretching excecises that I do with him and he doesn't seem to be having any pain as yet. He's eating and drinking normally.

However, he still is trembling from time to time and is also panting which indicates stress. He's probably reflecting my state of mind. Boy, I wish dogs could talk...

Honestly, beamerdog, how scary! I'm so glad you weren't hurt worse.

Whoa, beamerdog, what a terrifying experience! I am SO glad you weren't, well, that you didn't, well, you know, go over the bridge. My goodness. That was a close one for sure. I got chills a little just reading your post.

I am definitely sending extra good vibes your way.

(((((((beamerdog)))))) (((and Jackson too)))

You are in our prayers for sure.

I'm sorry to hear what you went through, and I'm glad you are O.K.

I went through something similar about fifteen years ago, but not quite so bad.

Get a lawyer.
