I just need to vent a minute....

I am in sooooooo much pain. Hubby and I were in a car oops last Thursday. I call it a car oops because it wasn't really an accident since we didn't hit anything, nothing hit us, and there is not a scratch on the car...

But we were on the highway doing about 65-70mph when there was an accident right in front of us - hubby slammed on the brakes and we missed the accident by less than a foot (thankfully).... also thankfully, the 4 car accident that we missed being involved in was not too serious and the worst injury was that one guy had a broken wrist... everyone else walked away with bumps and bruises and aches and muscle injuries.

Even though we didn't hit a thing, our car went from 65mph to 0 in a few seconds, and the rapid braking and stopping caused both of us to get muscle injury to our backs and necks from the rapid change in speed.

I also have severe bruising on my chest from the seatbelt slamming into me as hubby slammed on the brakes.

I hurt. I ache. I want to scream.

My entire back is in a constant muscle spasm and nothing is helping. I have been to the ER twice (once right after the near accident, and again on Saturday) and both times the most the doctor will say is to continue my current meds and "take it easy". I called my doc and she is closed until the 2nd, and the doctor on call is the same one who I saw in the ER.

Anyway, I just needed to vent and moan and complain. This is not how hubby and I wanted to start the new year...

I hope everyone had a good holiday, and Happy New Year to all.
