I had a car accident on Friday morning on the way to a dr. appointment. I was on the feeder road and saw my turn coming up on the right --didn't brake hard or fast enough for the turn --took it too sharp --wound up jumping the curb and hitting a concrete sign.
I was going the speed limit. Airbags did not deploy. I checked out okay at the hospital the day of the wreck. Went back to the ER Mon. night b/c of severe chest pain --found out that the cartilage in my chest is inflammed from the impact (I was wearing my seatbelt, but still hit the steering wheel.) Been resting as much as possible--been having bad asthma/wheezing and pain --will be going back to work tomorrow (hopefully I will make it through the whole day.)
Car is a total loss. It will go to the insurance adjuster in the next few days to get the value of the car calculated. If insurance also says that it is a total loss, then insurance will pay what I still owe on the car (I still owe $7,000.) And I will have to go find a new one somehow.
As much trouble as my Taurus has been (in the past year, alternator went out twice, radiator went out, air compressor went out, had to replace all tires and front brakes), I'll miss her a little. She was my first car, though I only had her for 2 years.
Got extra time on my term paper b/c of the wreck, but I still need to finish it ASAP. With all the insurance/body shot/credit union people calling and with still recovering from my injury, it's been hard to focus. This is my last paper of the semester. I am 1/5 of the way through it.
Thank you all for your prayers. I appreciate the support so much.

"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

Woah, I'm just glad you didn't come out worse after the incident. Will be praying. Will be praying that the inflammation goes down and that car expenses will be payed. Hope everything will be alright.

Wow, I'm so sorry this happened to you, but I'm very glad you're alright! I'll be praying for you! I also hope your pain will be relieved soon. That sounds terrible. 
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
