I've been Hit...

Literally, physically..... seriously! I was driving on the freeway, minding my own business, going to work on Saturday (which stinks all on it's own) so that I can enjoy Christmas with out stressing about the upcoming deadline, when I heard tires screeching. I look over and BAM, then BAM again, and then finally BAM and I stop. Yes that was three BAMS! This girl slammed on her brakes to not hit the car in front of her ( traffic in that lane was slowing down) so instead her car turned and hit my car on the back passenger side. That spun my car back into her car again on the front part of my car and A LOT harder. That hit sent my car flying across the lane and slammed me into the concrete median dividing the two sides of the freeway. My head started pounding so I reached up and there was blood oozing out of my head. I FREAKED OUT. I'm ok I think, I have a nasty cut on my head that bled for a good two hours after the wreck, and feel like I got hit by a train. My whole body is achy, but no one was seriously hurt so I am sooooo thankful for that. I called 911, and I would like to say that they are not near so nice as those on Star people on those commercials :-) Here is how it went...

Me "I've been hit"

Operator "Where are you located"

Me "Across from Albertsons on XXXX (road)"

Me "I can't get out of my car"

Op "Are you hurt"

Me "I don't know"

Op "Do you need an ambulance"

Me "I don't know, my head is bleeding"

Op "OK I will send one just in case"

Ok seriously, I've been hit, can't get out of my car (that implies BIG wreck and body damage to either me or the car) and your asking me if you should send an ambulance. Your the expert here, what do you think. Anywho, the Fire and Ambulance guys were really nice and helpful. I didn't talk to the girl who hit me because she was across the street. Needless to say my car was not drivable. :-( Here are some pics from the towing place and my head. Pay no attention to my inch long roots that I should have gone again and fixed yesterday, but now I will have to wait until this cut heals. I can only imagine the pain of hair dye in an open cut for 25 to 30 minutes. Suck!!! No car and dark root... Merry Christmas. Oh, and I really wish the picture better displayed the trauma of the whole thing. Why do pictures never look as bad a the events when they happen. And now on to the show....
