Wow, this was not a fun day. And a definite Friday 13th! I got rear-ended this morning on my way to get gas after the route. The car's barely got a scratch, and I think I'm ok. I'm hurting as hell, but it's hard to tell if it's just muscle ache from tensing up during the collision, the fibro being what it is or the stress of it all compounding what already wasn't a good fibro day to begin with.
I could not stop crying and shaking for a good 45-60 minutes after it happened. I got Trina to come pick me up, as I didn't feel it was safe for me to drive in that condition. The car was left in the parking lot of the Red Lion Hotel (very nice people there, I might add), until such time as she was able to pick it up after work and get it home to me (which she has now done, and which is why I am up, partially. More on that in a bit). That was my first accident as a driver, second one total in my life. I pray it was my last one ever. I do not think adrenaline rushes (and the subsequent crashes) agree with me very much.
Dustin was home when it happened, as I'd given him the day off. When I called him and told him what had happened, I asked him to please have tea ready (he normally does not make tea. Ever. He claims that he doesn't know how to do it properly, so that it tastes as good as when I make it. Nonsense, if you ask me, but ok). He told me he was already putting on the water for it. Love that man ^_^.
Eh, brain not functioning properly..... anyway, bottom line is that insurance has been called, information exchanged, and I'm waiting to see if things get worse before calling a doctor (since I'm going off the premise that it's just my muscles reacting to tensing up).
As for why I'm awake... I got woken up by UPS, followed by Trina not half an hour after that. And now I can't fall back asleep. Blah.....
