Car Accident

I was in a car accident this morning on my way to work. I was heading towards Ft. Madison running about 65 with the cruise on and a lady pulled across the lane in front of me to turn onto a side road. She said the sun was in her eyes and she didn't see me. Who knows. But I t-boned her and it did quite a number on Steve's car. I think it's probably totaled but we won't know that until the insurance adjuster takes a look at it. I went to the hospital by ambulance because I was having chest pains and generally felt pretty bad. They x-rayed me and everything came back fine so that was a plus. My knees hit the dash though, so they are pretty banged up. I also have a spot on my forehead that looks like a carpet burn from the air bag. I also have a bruise on my upper left chest from the seatbelt and of course I feel sore all over. The doctor told me to not go back to work until Monday. The girl was ticketed for failure to yield and thankfully she has insurance. Hopefully it won't be a hassle to get everything taken care of and either get the car fixed or get a new one. Steve went this afternoon to get a rental and they gave him a Mazda 3 so that should be interesting to drive. Everyone has been super nice and helpful, from the ambulance and hospital staff, so the insurance people. I think I am going to take a nap now, because the doctor gave me percocet and muscle relaxers for pain and it's starting to kick in. I am very thankful that God was watching out for me this morning and always.
