• OUCH!

  Yesterday I needed a button for an outfit I was sewing so my mom came over to babysit my babies so I didn't have to take them out in the rain.  I was sitting at a stoplight stopped signing and BAM hit in the rear by another car!  Ouch Ouch Ouch my back and neck hurt so badly.  The police officer at the scene asked me if I wanted an ambulance and I told him my back really hurt (I guess that means No b/c he walked off to his car).  Note I am 31 years old and this is my very first car accident I was very shook up and all alone..sniff, sniff....I couldn't get ahold of my hubby b/c he was working out of cell phone range..(yeah that still happens in 2008!).  I didn't know what to do I was so confused and hurting I just wanted to go home and hold my babies and take a very hot bath...

  Today my back was hurting much more so my husband insisted I go to the Dr.  I went to a local urgent care and they wouldn't see me without full payment or filing it on my insurance...um...the accident was not my fault I'm not filing stuff on my insurance history...so I had to leave that office and go to the local ER.  3 Hours later I was told by the ER doctor after he simply tapped me on my back very lightly asking me if it hurt...that I needed muscle relaxers and pain pills....um...I'm nursing can't take those...sooooo....he hands me a script for ibuprofen.  So much for a complete medical exam and I was all prepared for xrays and some medical attention....sigh...
