Grateful

Monday was President's Day and of course I had to work. Our clinic was pretty slow in the morning so I decided to go home for lunch and see Kent. Now, I hardly ever go home for lunch, usually just stay at work, run errands, or go to the park. So, I am driving home and there's a lot of traffic on Hwy 95, but what else is new. I am almost home and getting to the corner to turn off of Hwy 95. I get into the left turn lane while the truck in front of me turns right. A small pickup behind me slows down for us to turn off the highway. Now, you have to know that this corner scares me to death! There have been too many accidents and a couple of deaths happen here in the past. Well, as I was getting close to the corner to turn I heard a crash behind me and knew that I was going to get hit. What a weird feeling. I just prayed that they wouldn't hit me in the driver's side door. Everything happened so fast and then it was over. No really sure who hit me or what. I looked around and saw the little pickup sideways in front of me and my car was facing the opposite direction. I immediately called Kent and looked around for the other drivers. Across the highway I saw a big 4x4 pickup and recognized who the driver was. She waited a couple of minutes and then opened her door and fell to the road. I ran over to help her and called 911. My main concern was helping her and waiting for the cops and the ambulance to show up. Kent got there really fast and helped the EMT's and the cops. Not really sure what happened in the crash still, as the girl in the truck can't seem to recall anything that happened, although we do know that she was behind the small pickup. Anyway, our car was pretty messed up as I was hit a couple of times as I was spinning around from being hit, but not on the driver's side door! There as an eye witness who was on the side road who saw the whole thing and told me I was pretty lucky the semi truck coming the opposite direction didn't hit me. Not something I really want to think about. I did hit my head on something, but no blood or bruises. On Tuesday, the aches and pains started, and my upper body was having some major muscle tension. We went to the doctor and everything is fine, just a little sore. Good news! I am very grateful to have been protected from any serious harm throughout the accident and to have been able to walk away unharmed. I do seem to be a little scatterbrained lately and very jumpy at noises behind me!!
