To bring everyone up to speed on my most recent shitty experiences, add auto accident to the list. Yep, that's right folks, not only did my daughter die this year, but also I totaled my Envoy on 12/26! It happened at approximately 7:15 a.m. on 12/26/14. I was on my way to work, and I am well aware that most people were still in bed at the time and I should have been too. But, my employer wanted us to work that day, I signed up for skeleton crew at the office so that my coworkers could have the time off. I know....aren't I just such a great boss? Hell, it seems the nicer I am the more shittier luck I receive. Anyways, I do not remember the wreck. However, I was told by medics and police that I was unconscious for 10-15 minutes. I learned that I lost control on my vehicle due to patchy "black ice", hit the guard wire in the median on 70 West, and it threw my vehicle back out onto the interstate and then I was t-boned by a stratus. Needless to say, my vehicle is totaled. Luckily, I survived, almost unharmed. I am having some memory issues, and some headaches. I have extreme bruising across my mid-section and my hip is messed up. I remember getting ready for work that morning, leaving the house, and then nothing else until waking up in the ambulance with an IV being shoved into my wrist because they couldn't find a good vein. Hurt like hell. I had a neck brace on and my clothes had been cut off of me. Brand new outfit my mother in law got me for Christmas just laying there shredded. What was one of my first thoughts? "Aw shit, everyone in this ambulance knows I went commando to work today. That's right, no undies. I might have been embarrassed if I had any sense about myself at the moment.
All I have heard for the last 5 days is......."You are lucky". Yes, I am well aware of that. I think Claire had a little something to do with it.
While this year has been anything but pleasant, I am thankful to be alive.
On another note, Christmas was ok. Kids got way too much stuff. Every year I say I am going to slack off on buying gifts. Every year I prove to be a liar. And yet, these kids still act like they should have a cameo in the Jay-Z Hard Knock life video.....geez.
Here is a picture of my Envoy after the wreck. Hubby said it scared the shit out of him when the hospital called.
Yes, that is my rear door sitting in the backseat. They had to take my door off to get me out.
Please 2015, be good to me.
