Car Accident

I was hoping to get my Thailand blog entries up this weekend, but I spent the weekend recovering from a pretty bad car accident.  On Thursday, when my mom and I had just left the house to find a coffee table for my new apartment, we got t-boned by a guy who ran a red light in his SUV.  Thankfully, we are both okay, escaping only with non-fatal injuries.  I have a concussion, and my left shoulder is pretty banged up (as it and the left side of my head crashed into the driver's side door on impact).  My mom is also sore but more shaken up than anything.  It definitely was a scary experience.  When our car came to a stop, my mom was frantic and yelling, and I felt the worst pain I've ever felt in my head.  But luckily, a policeman was also stopped at the same intersection and saw the whole thing.  He helped us out of the car and handled everything else.  He told me the man in the SUV had admitted he ran the red light.  (He was also, thankfully, not hurt).  I spent a total of 9 hours at urgent care and the ER, but all is well, and that is something to be grateful for.

Be safe everyone!
