Car Accident

Well, the jeep is totaled or so we think. We're still waiting for the adjusters findings. You see on Sunday I went to Walmart to get some rocks and a new telephone and on my way home I reached down and turned the steering wheel along with my head and bam!!! I hit four boulders which caused the air bags to deploy and the front axle to break. I also broke my sternum and bruised myself up pretty bad. The good thing is that it was just me, no kids...
I'm doing okay...it hurts to do simple things like turning door handles or pushing the button to open the microwave but I'm getting along okay. The sad part is that now we have to get a new vehicle for our family and right now we're kinda stuck home. Ryan said the funniest and most wonderful thing after he found out I was in an accident and that I was okay...He said, "If you wanted a new car you could have just asked." I had to laugh...
At the scene of the accident I refused an ambulance ride to the hospital and they said that if I start feeling like something is wrong that I should go to the hospital. Well, I felt fine until the adrenaline started wearing off and then my chest was very painful...It even hurt to breath. So, Ryan took me to the hospital and that's when they did a CT scan and found my broken sternum. I thought for sure they'd come back and say that I was just bruised. I was then advised that I should agree to being admitted into the hospital because the pain was going to become very intense and they wanted me there so they could manage it. I agreed, so I spent the night in the hospital with high amounts of pain killers being administered. I'm pretty grateful that that first night I wasn't home and that my pain was being managed because it was pretty bad even with all the pain medicine they were giving me. It's still pretty intense and I was told the pain would be pretty bad for about 4 weeks. I'm not looking forward to the next few weeks but I'll be alright. I'm just still so thankful that I didn't have any of my kids with me.
