I was in a car accident. ~Rika~

Me and Cameron were in a car accident yesterday. We were JUST turning into work and we were t-boned by another car doing about 30 in a parking lot and it hit my side.. I wasn't wearing my seatbelt and I was thrown into the windshield [not breaking it, luckily] and the rearview mirror. I only remember bits and pieces. I was in a daze for a couple hours.. my head hurt really bad and I couldn't move my neck, but I told everyone I was fine. I even went into work and clocked in and started setting up before Cameron insisted that I clock out. He was like, "um.. what are you doing? Are you serious?" The top of my head was bleeding and everything. I'm just a workaholic. =/

We got the car towed to a place right by my mom's house and then we walked to my mom's. I laid around for a couple of hours and the headache got worse and worse. Finally, Cameron and my mom insisted that I go to the hospital. I was diagnosed with a severe concussion and whiplash. They gave me one of those ridiculous neck braces and everything. They also gave me percocet and valium which help, but surprisingly don't take ALL of the pain away.. I thought those were pretty heavy duty. They give me really annoying hiccups. -_- I got a prescription for them, so I have them when I need them. I woke up today in a lot of pain. Both of my arms and my chest hurt really bad, too, and I didn't seem to notice that yesterday.

The car is ruined... don't know what we're going to do.. the insurance won't cover it, but they paid my medical bill.

Anyway, I just thought I'd let everyone know what happened and that I'm okay. I'm not supposed to be on the computer according to the doctor, so just dropping in. I'll always wear my seatbelt from now on!

Date: 10/12/2008 4:33:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 35720    Angi, there were a lot of technicalities they went through as to why they couldn't pay for our damages.. we were making a left turn when the guy slammed into us, so technically it was our fault according to Progressive.. even though the other guy was doing 30 in a parking lot which is definitely not legal.  
Date: 10/12/2008 4:34:00 PM  From Authorid: 28848    I'm sorry this happened Rika. I hope you heal really quick.  
Date: 10/12/2008 4:58:00 PM  From Authorid: 30747    I'm so glad you and your boyfriend are okay and I hope you feel better soon. *hugs*  
Date: 10/12/2008 4:59:00 PM  From Authorid: 14314    I hope you feel better very soon, glad that you are ok *hugs* God Bless  
Date: 10/12/2008 5:23:00 PM  From Authorid: 15677    omg Rika im so happy you are ok. dont miss a dose of your pain meds the more they build up the better it will help with the pain. take it easy hunny an keep us posted  
Date: 10/12/2008 5:25:00 PM  From Authorid: 63572    That's not good Rika, I hope you feel better soon. Seatbelts aren't always as effective as they make you think, I was t-boned by a drunk driver a few years ago and i was wearing my seatbelt and ended up fracturing my neck from the seatbelt not to mention the bruises from it and there were even places the seatbelt dug so hard into me that it cut my skin, but that just might be because I was almost tipped over by the impact though. It'll take a few days if not about a week or so before the pain gets better so hopefully the time will go by quickly until then! But yes, I still always wear my seatbelt no matter what, even if I'm just moving my car over a parking space.  
Date: 10/12/2008 5:37:00 PM  From Authorid: 64365    I'm sorry to hear you were hurt. I hope you get to feeling better really soon. HUGS  
Date: 10/12/2008 5:37:00 PM  From Authorid: 21839    I am sorry you are going through all that. I would see if you could get a consultation with an attorney just to see what your rights & if you are really at fault..some insurance companies will try & get over on you, espically if you don't know the laws...might be worth checking into. I have a slipped disc in my neck from a car accident in 95. I didn't discover it until years later. I could not lay on my left side longer than 5 minutes.. never knowing it was from the accident until they did an MRI on me... check all of your options.... I am praying for you!  
Date: 10/12/2008 5:50:00 PM  From Authorid: 21435    Happy to hear that you're OK, Rika. You are young and tough and I bet you'll heal up in record time. Take care of you.  
Date: 10/12/2008 6:24:00 PM  ( Admin-MG )   Gosh I'm sure glad you guys are ok! How scary! Take good care of yourself Rika! Hugs.
Date: 10/12/2008 6:24:00 PM  From Authorid: 42945    Hope you get better real soon hun...*hugs*  
Date: 10/12/2008 6:31:00 PM  From Authorid: 63241    I was sorry to read about this. I'm glad you're okay.  
Date: 10/12/2008 7:27:00 PM  From Authorid: 27534    The year of T-Bones...I was hit last February...glad you are ok...can always replace sheet metal and rubber.....stay strong Rika....  
Date: 10/12/2008 8:43:00 PM  From Authorid: 7830    wow, well im really glad you werent hurt worse. take it easy for a while!  
Date: 10/12/2008 8:57:00 PM  From Authorid: 14909    Get you a good personal injury attorney. They can get him for speeding in a parking lot for sure. I'm glad your ok. Just take it easy for a bit  
Date: 10/12/2008 9:40:00 PM  From Authorid: 13119    when you do wear your seatbelt please be sure to always make sure it is lying flat. If it is twisted at all it can work like a razor blade and slice you.  
Date: 10/13/2008 1:52:00 AM  ( Admin )   Rika 1000.. hugs.. I'm glad you are still with us. You are part of all of us and the world would be a dimmer place without you in it. Life changes on a dime and doesn't give change.
Date: 10/13/2008 1:56:00 AM  From Authorid: 63961    Wow, I truly am sorry to have to hear this. I definitely know how you feel as I was in 2 car accidents within a week of each other (neither were my fault). This was last year. I really hope you can work out everything. It sucks losing your car. And it sucks having an insurance company that doesn't give a crap about you on top of that. I don't care what any commercial says, all Insurance companies are no good. Another blunder by idiot drivers out there that can't seem to put a simple concept in their head and determining speed, conditions, and location. Of course, for some people that might be a hard concept to pull through their head...but it's simple really...You're in a parking lot...do you go slow...or do you go fast and plow into someone in the process...it's a pretty easy decision. You're on a major road...everyone else is going slow...it's raining pretty hard...either decide to go fast, wreck and take down a few cars (and lives) with you...or go BELOW the posted limits due to the conditions. Pick the first option and see if I feel a bit sorry for you when your car flips over into oblivion. I'm terribly sorry, Rika. This is just something that all too common happens in America...people think they are so important that they are entitled to drive faster than everyone else. Blessings in recovering from what this idiot done to you and your car.  
Date: 10/13/2008 1:57:00 AM  From Authorid: 63961    Excuse my angry rambling there. These things tend to fire me up a little. And, Rika, I'm glad you are alright and safe and sound. Along with Cameron. That, above all, is the most important thing in situations like this. Above all.  
Date: 10/13/2008 2:12:00 AM  From Authorid: 21266    Wow. Glad you're okay though *hugs*  
Date: 10/13/2008 4:29:00 AM  From Authorid: 26203    OMG Rika you poor thing, I am so glad you are ok though, and that you were'nt seriously hurt...Please as you said wear your seat belt..please...Get well soon hugs  
Date: 10/13/2008 4:46:00 AM  From Authorid: 17275    I am really glad you are ok. How scarey for you and Cameron! If the other car t-boned you shouldn't they have to pay for the cost of your car I would research it deeper. Good luck and hope you heal quickly!  
Date: 10/13/2008 5:08:00 AM  From Authorid: 53961    Sending {{{gentle huggs}}} No matter - wear your seat belts! I lost my son because he didn't...  
Date: 10/13/2008 5:32:00 AM  From Authorid: 4995    I am SO glad you came out of this alive! I will keep you in my prayers! *HUGS!!!* CP.  
Date: 10/13/2008 6:04:00 AM  From Authorid: 46527    Glad you're OK.  
Date: 10/13/2008 6:46:00 AM  From Authorid: 51106    OMG I am so sorry to hear this has happened to you! I wish you a speedy recovery. Hopefully you can work something out for you car as well.  
Date: 10/13/2008 6:47:00 AM  From Authorid: 53558    Glad to hear you are okay. *hugs*...  
Date: 10/13/2008 6:57:00 AM  From Authorid: 21903    Definately get yourself into the habit of wearing a seatbelt! Once you do, you'll feel naked without it! I do anyways. Will the other person's insurance get you anywhere? I am surprised they didn't have to pay your med bills. I am terribly sorry to hear you were in an accident at all!! I am not surprised you're in a lot of pain, you're poor body must be reeling! I really hope all that soreness subsides quickly for you! Thank goodness you are okay! Get some rest, missy!! *HUGS*  
Date: 10/13/2008 7:00:00 AM  From Authorid: 16845    oh wow, glad your ok!  
Date: 10/13/2008 8:08:00 AM  From Authorid: 59418    Glad you're okay!  
Date: 10/13/2008 8:10:00 AM  From Authorid: 61847    I saw this on myspace. I was praying you were okay. Feel better honey!! *hugs*  
Date: 10/13/2008 10:17:00 AM  From Authorid: 40979    OMGOSH! You're lucky you were not ejected from the car! I am glad you're alive. When I was in my accident, I was not in any pain until the day after. I could not even get out of my bed because the pain was so severe. I hope you start feeling better soon *hugs*  
Date: 10/13/2008 10:21:00 AM  From Authorid: 7341    I'm glad you're okay!  
Date: 10/13/2008 11:49:00 AM  From Authorid: 63243    Why is this on the top of the page?  
Date: 10/13/2008 1:46:00 PM  From Authorid: 16865    Oh dear! I am glad you are okay. I have post concussive syndrome after my head injury. You may feel really confused at times. It's normal but disconcerting. PM me if you ever need to vent.  
Date: 10/13/2008 2:35:00 PM  From Authorid: 58416    I'm glad you came out of it okay.  
Date: 10/13/2008 2:41:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 35720    Thank you so much everyone for your get-well wishes. I'm feeling better today.. I'm in the most pain right when I wake up and then it gets duller as the day goes on. FreckleFace, the insurance company did pay my medical bill, but not the damages to my car. Joy and Sorrow, I don't know why it's at the top. Probably because the admin wanted me to feel like I'm cared about.  
Date: 10/13/2008 2:44:00 PM  From Authorid: 21764    omg! so glad to hear you are ok! big hugs and a speedy recovery to you!  
Date: 10/13/2008 3:28:00 PM  From Authorid: 10245    same thing prompted me to start wearing a seat belt. an uncountable number of stitches, stopping just short of your face, can make you thankful that's the extent of the injury and nudges you to stop tempting fate so much ;o) Glad you're going to be okay. Cars can be replaced, YOU can't ;o)  
Date: 10/13/2008 3:30:00 PM  From Authorid: 24673    What a lesson that was! I am so happy to hear you are okay and I pray for your continued recovery.  
Date: 10/13/2008 3:51:00 PM  From Authorid: 33925    Miss Rika! Seat belt from now on Lil Girl!! I am so glad you are on the mend. *Gentle hugs*  
Date: 10/13/2008 6:17:00 PM  From Authorid: 62993    Glad you're ok, and hope you feel better.  
Date: 10/13/2008 6:32:00 PM  From Authorid: 22275     feel better soon. I will keep you in my thoughts  
Date: 10/13/2008 6:47:00 PM  ( Admin )   I wanted you to KNOW that you are cared about. x 10000
Date: 10/13/2008 7:14:00 PM  From Authorid: 12341    I am so sorry Rika, I hope you are okay!  
Date: 10/13/2008 7:47:00 PM  From Authorid: 64413    Im so glad that you and Cameron are okay...and glad you said hi..make sure you take care of yourself and take care of your soreness, and make sure you take care of anything that might begin hurting...something positive will come of a car if you keep it in a positive light and energy...it always works for me...love, Sage  
Date: 10/13/2008 11:02:00 PM  From Authorid: 37150    omg hope you'll feel better soon.  
Date: 10/14/2008 12:50:00 AM  From Authorid: 63121    Woah! It's good that it wasn't worse. Though it isn't a pleasent thing at all. I hope that you feel better soon. ~hugs~  
Date: 10/14/2008 6:31:00 AM  From Authorid: 53909    I read about this on myspace and sorry to hear that happened. I'm glad that it wasn't anything worse than that.  
Date: 10/14/2008 7:16:00 AM  From Authorid: 52746    Gosh, that's awful. I'm glad that you've come through this to post about it but my goodness, it must have been a terrible fright for you both xxx  
Date: 10/14/2008 9:57:00 AM  From Authorid: 51292    Aw I hope you start to feel better soon and Im glad you guys are ok.  
Date: 10/14/2008 10:31:00 AM  From Authorid: 18928    I'm glad things were not worse. I hope you feel better soon.  
Date: 10/14/2008 11:36:00 AM  From Authorid: 26542    Oh poor you! Glad to hear that you're okay. *gentle hugs*  
Date: 10/14/2008 11:51:00 AM  From Authorid: 3835    I hope you are feeling better, Rika...  
Date: 10/14/2008 11:56:00 AM  From Authorid: 55533    I'm glad you're alright!  
Date: 10/14/2008 2:21:00 PM  From Authorid: 62901    Sounds like you should really go see a chiropractor! Trust me, if you see that kind of doctor, you are bound to find more problems that will need to be treated! That's what they specialize in. When I was in a small car accident when I was 13 and my mom was bringing me to school, I didn't have any pain and didn't think anything was wrong with me but my mom brought us and I wound up treating with him for several months! I'm telling, please, just go get checked by one! Also, as far as the insurance.... what about the other persons insurance? You shouldn't be having YOUR insurance pay for this, his insurance should be paying for this! Do you get a police report? Have you sought counsel to file a lawsuit? If you need any advice in this area, please, please let me know because I work for a personal injury attorney and handle MANY automobile accidents! Please let me know if I can be of any help! And I hope you get to feeling better!  
Date: 10/14/2008 4:28:00 PM  From Authorid: 63831    i will keep you both in my thoughts and prayers. take care. *hugs*  
Date: 10/14/2008 10:28:00 PM  From Authorid: 36352    Sorry this happened to you, I hope you feel better real soon.

Love and Smiles JJ
