Of course, mentally I feel terrible. I mean, I do everything I can to protect myself, my Stims, etc. then a careless person hits me and I can't do anything about it.
That's my rant of the day. Says he wasn't texting, but why do you rear end someone going 35 mph unless you're distracted?!
Arrrrrrrrrgggghhhhhhh.....sorry! I have spent most of the day in tears!

Geez TK, you just can't catch a break lately! I am so sorry someone hit you, I sure hope you are ok. Did you get checked out? The pain from the accident will more than likely hurt more on the second and thrid day. I have been in a few accidents, a couple where I was rear ended, and none were my fault. Were the police called? His insurance should pay for all of your medical expenses. You need to have an x-ray on that cervical scs right away and his insurance should cover it! It really bites when you try so hard to take care of yourself and be so careful to then have someone careless ruin it!
The only thing that the drs did for me after the accidents was give me muscle relaxers and pain meds. The muscle relaxers help with spasms and muscle tightness...this happens from tensing up on impact.
I do hope everything calms down for you and that you feel better.
