Bless Your Heart

So I was on my way to work on Thursday (9/27) morning when I stopped at a stoplight, but the Cadillac behind me didn’t.  He hit me going (in his words) “45-50” miles an hour.  When he hit me the impact knocked me forward into my seatbelt, then back into my seat.  Then my seat breaks and I’m flat on my back as this Caddy is pushing me along Billy Graham Parkway.  I have never been so scared- I couldn’t see where I was going!!  He scraped me along the bumper of the Honda in front of me then deposited me in the median pushing me a total of around 120 yards from the point of impact.  The lack of skidmarks until where the broken glass is tells you that he never hit his brakes until he hit me.  I found my cell phone which was now in the back seat and called Jon and 911.

The tow truck man took one look at my car and pronounced it totaled.  He showed us where the a-frame (whatever that is) is all bent and how it had come within an inch and a half from puncturing my gas tank.  He had to hammer away metal out of the tire well just to roll the car up onto the tow truck.

Jon took me to an Urgent Care and I’m going to be fine.  I’ve got severe whiplash and everything just hurts right now, but nothing’s broken.  Just all banged up with some bumps and bruises, Thank God.
