time is on my side
Ok. so dad's doing better. still doing physical therapy. right now he's pissed at me because of a very minor accident. no ticket no nothing. i owned up to what i needed to and now he's pissed. it's the scary pissed too. like not talking to anyone pissed. he barely said anything to jason last night. mom and i are nervous around him. neither are really talking to me though. i'm kinda sad/confused /mad at dad though. i'm exactly who he raised me to be, honest and someone who owns what they did accident,or anything else, and he's treating me like this.

what a whirlwind
my dad got hit by a car thursday when he was riding his bicycle by someone i know apparently he didn't see dad when he was turning and cut the corner. my dad ended up on the hood of the truck and flew across the street. he's all banged and bruised.he was at the Medical University last night but he's home now thankfully. they thought he had fractured his neck but the only injury besides brush burn and some gashes (arms legs scalp) was his right pinky. (he's a south paw) it was bent back all the way. not broken but all the ligaments were damaged. surgery on that jason stayed with my mom and me last night because we were both such a wreck oh and it happened right outside our house. he got thrown into our yard he's all loopy from the pain meds singing "i love you" to my mom earlier (while doped up) using the voice of my favorite disney character, Eeyore... it was kinda funny and sweet at the same time he was joking around a little last night in the room before he started taking them. he was trying to keep my mom, myself and the one brother who lives in town lighthearted. he got home late friday evening and is getting better slowly each and every day. crazy thing was that it was about 4 months after my accident. everyone bombarded me with questions on how he is today after mass. everyone but our pastor that is... but anywho saw the second sherlock holmes and it's good...

ok so another month
ok so another month has gone by and i just never got around to posting agin. it turns out that I didn't have trachitis. I had an upper respiratory infection. It was extremely hard to breathe for awhile.
Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving was great this year. This Sunday before J met one of my CCD students (CCD is Sunday school ours is on Wednesday nights and I teach 1st grade). She was shy at first...until he said I talk about her all the time.
Spent most of Thursday in the Kitchen except for the few times I sat down to watch part of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and when I went to pick up J's cousin who joined us. Counting him, my parents, J, His mom, 2 sisters and another couple we had 10 people. My Mint Brownies were a hit.
The following Saturday J joined Planet Fitness and we went 4 times together before I joined and went 1 more time that week. In that week I lost 2 1/2 pounds then the following week (last week) I lost another 1/2 pound. Trying to keep it up because my goal is to loose a total of 47 pounds before the wedding. So here goes nothing.
We started decorating the apartment last night!!! and we did a stack of Christmas Cards. So YAY!!!

Car Accident
Ok. After much thought I have decided to share on here about my car accident that I recently had. On 14 September, just 2 days after the Disney Trip, I flipped my car. Yes, you read it correctly... FLIPPED...
A car pulled out in front of me and I swerved so not to it him. In doing so my car aka Khloe went off the road. When I got back on the asphalt both drivers side tires popped and as the Khloe skidded diagonally across Harborview Rd, it felt as if my car were fishtailing. When she got to the other side of the road and hit the dirt she flipped/rolled. My seatbelt saved me and my never deployed. A family friend who I had just seen at the bank called my parents for me while a nurse who had ran across the street to check my vitals called my fiance for me and someone else called 911. I'm not sure how long it took emergency personnel to get to me though the firefighters got there rather quickly. I was about 2-3 blocks away from the ladder they came from. The firefighters had to unbuckle my seatbelt to get me out of Khloe and get me right side up (since I was upside down) before they put a collar on me and put me on a back board.
I was fine until I heard my mother. The moment I heard her voice I went from trying to not show how much I was scared shitless to "I want my mommy" in .0000000000000000001 seconds. After she saw me on the backboard she heard me say "oh God I'm scared". My fiance got to me in Med U's Trauma Bay before my mom did. All I wanted was Mom and my fiance because I knew Dad was taking care of everything about the car.
I cried from when I said I was scared on and off for the rest of the day.
My fiance left work when he found out (the nurse who called him for me held the phone up to my ear so I could talk to him and he could hear that I was trying to be brave). When he found out, he drove quite quickly from North Charleston to West Ashely to get his car, told work he had to go because I flipped my car and got to the hospital. He had to park on the 6th floor on the parking garage and said that the elevator was taking too long so he ran down 6 flights of stairs, across the street and into the hospital. They let him into where I was quickly I guess since he said he was my fiance and he was still in uniform (he's an emt) and also because I had just tried calling him. They asked me if I wanted my mom back with me and I answered yes before they could even finish. My mom couldn't find my Eeyore because she knew I'd want him so she brought me a stuffed animal bunny that my fiance had given me for our first Easter. I felt so cold in the hospital. Between the saline drip and the fact that my clothes were cut off me, it's no wonder. My fiance helped move me from my bed to the CT scan thing and back since he had just gotten there in time. At one point my fiance was holding my hand and i squeezed his so hard that my pulse oximeter messed up. So after that he sat at my head and my mom held my hand.
I was complaining of hip, neck, and back pain (all left side) so they gave me 50 mg of fetenol which is a painkiller stronger than morphine which kicked in while they took CT scans of my head, neck, abdomen and kip. The later two were taken with warmed radioactive dye injected through my iv so they could check all my organs more efficiently. By the time they said I could go I was starting to feel everything again so they gave me 6 mg of morphine making me so loopy. I was on loratab for any other pain for a week after the accident. 2 people I knew checked on me while I was at the hospital and one once I got home. The 2 that checked on me were a fellow choir member and another fellow choir member's husband. Both of which saw me after I had gotten both the fetenol and the morphine. The person who checked on me when I got home was one of my best friends. She came to see me when she got off from work. I've gotten better, I'm still shaken up pretty much though.
I was sitting in the sun in the huge scrubs they gave me to wear home obviously doped up swollen from the accident (and crying and shock) hugging my bunny (better known as Rubix) when a guy commented on him. When I said my fiance gave him to me the guy said that he hoped my fiance had gotten the same type of hug from me and "God Bless you". I left before the Chaplin came to visit me but as luck would have it he's been visiting my church for the past month.
I received a blessing from the pastor at the church where I grew up the Saturday after the accident.
I got flowers and get well notes from 2 couples. One was from a co worker of my mothers (she works at the church I go to now) and said co worker's husband. They sent me an arrangement of daisies. The other couple were in a class with my fiance and myself. They sent me yellow gerber daisies (my favorite flower) and pink carnations. They sent me the flowers "to brighten up my day" and to "cheer me up". Both arrangements did just that.
More later. I'm just glad I'm ok.

This music video especially when you see the little girl saying "mommy" is how I felt. I thank God for the fact that all I walked away with was a mark from the seatbelt and a little soreness...
