Annnd it continues.....

I said I take it back! I don't want to use my insurance. I want to pay for it and have just the security of a little card that I don't have to ever take out of my wallet.
This was almost 2 weeks ago but I'll tell the story anyway.
I had worked the night before then had an appt the next morning so I stayed up. On my way home from my appt I am driving and look back to check my blind spot and when I look forward again all the cars have slammed on their brakes. I slam on mine and try to move over but I rear-ended the car in front of me. ( NO, I wasn't TEXTING)
I felt fine, my airbag didn't go off, but I got out of the car, made sure the other driver was fine. Called 911 and waited. As I'm standing there my back started spasming. And it kept getting worse and worse. So the paramedic made me get into the ambulance.

Never been the patient in an ambulance. I'm the EMT!!
Who doesn't love an 18 gauge in their AC?? That HURT!!

My back kept getting tighter and I finally started crying when I had to walk. I was given tons of drugs, but none of them actually worked. My x-rays showed that my muscles were so spasmed and tight that they were pulling my spine straighter.
I'm feeling better. My car was totalled, I had to get a new title (Thank you Rex for helping!) and now I'm shopping for a new car. Ugh!!! I miss my Galant!
Something good.... my parents and family were so great helping me through this whole process!
