R.I.P

Post by EWC88 »

Hey guys, I haven't been on here for awhile, been busy with school, life, etc. Well everything has been fine till yesterday came. Yesterday I was driving home in the morning with my girlfriend and at 6am we got into a bad car accident. My car is totaled for sure, there is no doubt about it. We ended up going across a highway and into a wooded area were my car decided to take out several little trees and then came to a stop on a tree. I'm glad my girlfriend was the smarter one out of us and was wearing a seatbelt, me being a idiot I wasn't wearing one. Both of us had to go to the hospital, she went before I got to because I had to deal with the police. She has neck/back pain, I have neck/back pain, wirst pain, short of breath, fainting, dizzy, heart doesn't beat right..just alot. Luckly we are alive, because if you see the car we shouldn't be, atleast not me since I had no seatbelt on.

I will be getting pictures tomorrow of my car and of the scene, I will post it up then.

Just ask for your prayers for me and my gf, were still in alot of pain and shooken up..

I was tapped in the back rear of my bumper by a incoming car...that got me to move a little but when he hit me I was like "omg!" and when I said that I moved my hand that was on the wheel which caused me to shoot to the left side of the highway on dirt...I tried to control it but I lost control and it swirved across the highway and ended up slamming into several trees.

I am glad to here you survived the encounter, and that the mistake of no seat belt is one you took lesson from. I definitely look forward to pictures, I love seeing what these cars go through to protect their occupants.

We both still have massive head and neck pain. I deal with the pain, probably not the best because my neck will hurt or head and I just ignore it which may cause more problems, but she tries and not to move as much as possible. Were just so thankful each day were alive, espically me since I wasn't wearing a seatbelt and you can see by the damage my body didn't stay still.


Thank you everyone for your prayers and thoughts

Come'on, a little hammerin' out some dents, some duct tape, this Bonne can be right back on the road!

OK, I'm trying to be sarcastically funny despite the grim nature (so I hope some one got a light hearted chuckle).

In all honesty, WOW! That is horrible!! But, cars can be repaired or replaced, people can't. You may be sore, but you didn't loose any body parts or your lives. Just make sure if you got prescribed pain meds, follow your doc's advise. Sounds like you and your G/F are in for some pain management and maybe pyhsical theropy.

Just glad you both walked away from this one. It could have been far worse.
