I drive a 2004 Chevy Tahoe, he was in a little sedan. His car didn't make it. I instantly pulled off the road to the right and he pulled into a parking lot to the left. He got on his phone and was cussing me up and down to whoever he was talking to. I couldn't believe it.
I was shaking all over. My mind was all over the place. I was feeling a bit light-headed and queasy. I also have Solar Urticaria, meaning I'm actually allergic to the sun, and at this time of the afternoon, it was blazing and I was breaking out in hives all over. It wasn't a good afternoon to say the least.
So I moved us over to the parking lot as well and call the Police. When they got there, I got out and told him what had happened and then he went to talk to the other driver. The other driver tried to tell him it was my fault. He hit me, but it was my fault. o.O Ooook?
So anyway, I saw him hand the other guy a yellow slip, I think he was ticketed. I'm not certain, but I wasn't ticketed and was only handed a small white card with the officer's name and our case number. Johnnie says we are ore than likely headed to court. Court is scary. I don't want to go to court. :(
When we finally pulled out of the driveway, I started hurting really badly in my shoulders, neck and my head was killing me. I didn't want to go to the hospital if it wasn't really anything, so I waited a few minutes to see if it was going to stop and it only got worse. I ended up in the ER anyway with whiplash. He hit into the back of us doing about 40mph. And even though we thought we were ok, I guess once the shock of the accident wore off, I found out I wasn't. I am hurting so bad right now. Johnnie went to pick up my prescriptions, but I already took 4 Ibuprofen tablets and all it did was softened the headache. My shoulders and back are still hurting.
Hopefully I will feel better in a bit and I am praying I wont hurt worse tomorrow, even though the doctors said I will.
On a different note, Mary's facial rashes have been pretty steady, but not every single day and she hasn't been running a fever, although I am highly suspicious that my thermometer might not be working properly, because sometimes when they feel warm to me, the temp read 96 or 97, and I know that can't be right by how their skin feels. But who knows? I can't afford a new thermometer, so we will just deal. Her rashes have also spread to her inner thighs now as well. Not sure what that's all about. I'm logging it though and will discuss it with her Rheumy next visit.
Kathryn is doing much better lately. She is starting to learn that she has ADHD and while she can't always help or control her actions and reactions, like her fits and outbursts, she knows she can not use it to her favor and she's learning to give a little more on the listening side of things. We're still struggling with tantrums and her fits when told no about something, but I'm also learning how to talk to her in a way that gets her to listen and understand why she's being told no. So let's just say, we're working on it. Kat had a facial rash this past week. Her cheeks were a bit pink and she had some bumps around her mouth. I don't know why, but I logged it in her medical file here at home anyway, just in case.
(Kat's rash. Pink cheeks and bumps around her mouth.)
Clara has been really complaining about her joints hurting the past few days. This afternoon, she was in the restroom at school and her knee gave out on her dropping her to the floor. :( Sound familiar? This same thing happened to Mary in the beginning. :( He left wrist is hurting her too. So Mary's is predominantly on the right side and Clara's is on the left. But it's Mary's left ear going deaf and Clara's right....little oddballs. :P
*Update* The dude that hit us didn't even have valid insurance! :(
