Moderate owie

As expected, I feel kinda crappy. Neck to hip -- all the sideways stuff went directly to the spine. Glad I'm not flying an airplane. Not too awful though; I've certainly had far worse, and I'm firmly aware that I am very fortunate. I'll be surprised if it's not noticeably improved by tomorrow.

Heading out in a few minutes to drop my car off for an estimate (needed to determine whether it'll be totaled), pick up a rental, and start SHOPPIN'.

YAY! Buying a new car is a nuisance, but it's exciting, too ... so many possibilities...!

On balance it sounds like you're rolling with the punch really well. I have a friend who has such a positive attitude that when she was hit by a teenager running a light, totaling her 1-year-old Camry (!) and injuring her (not seriously, thank goodness, but she's in her mid-70s, and healing is much slower at that age), her reaction was, "Oh, goody! Now I get to pick out a 'new' car!"

That's a bit extreme, but your positive attitude tempered with just the right amount of realism is very healthy! I hope you heal quickly and have fun shoppin' for your new car! What are you planning to look for?

Thanks for the hug! Now I need to figure out just what car I want.

Yikes. I don't think I want to see the kind of accident that can total a 1-year-old Camry.
