Steve and I were in a pretty bad car accident today. Thankfully, we both came out mostly unscathed. I have a couple of pulled muscles in my neck/shoulder but that's pretty much it. We are both pretty shaken though. Thank you Lord for keeping us safe today.
We were not at fault... we were actually cut off by a car trying to make a left turn when they didn't have the right of way. The impact was pretty hard and we both were pretty scared when it happened. Both airbags deployed and when that happened it shot dust into our faces. The impact was so hard that my head snapped forward and I couldn't hear or see for a few seconds. It probably all transpired in 30 seconds from impact to the time the Steve was getting out of the car to help me... but in that instant it felt like it lasted forever. I was absolutely terrified. I've never been in a situation where I truly felt like I was in danger of being seriously hurt. I was so afraid for Steve. I felt relieved when I looked over and saw that he was awake and alert.
The paramedics strapped me to the board and took me into the hospital just to be safe. I have a lot of neck pain and I'm on some meds... but all in all I don't feel that terrible. I'm going to have a terrible bruise across my boobs. The seat belts really saved us from what could've been much worse.
Again, I am thinking of how God kept us safe today. That accident couldn't been much worse than it was.
My white Corolla is totalled... still waiting from the final word from Geico... but the odds are we'll be car shopping again in about a week.
What a bad run of luck I've been having lately!!!

Wow! I'm so glad you both are okay (besides the few things you mentioned - could've been so much worse).
