(Let's try this again...looks like I will have to express all my thoughts in
acronyms or 3 sentences....Todd help!)
My first semester of my senior year, right before
finals, 2 dental students rear ended me. I was driving
an old Ford FBI mid-size LTD, they were driving a 1978
Buick Lesabre (2+ tons of road warrior fun). I was
stopped at a light behind a pick-up turning left. They
hit me at an estimated 45-50 miles per hour. A full
size 70's Bronco then hit them; a Total of 4 cars.
Long story short, my seat, steering wheel and seat belt
broke...I received a concussion and damaged knees...I
threw-up on a cop's shoes when they hauled me out of the
car.
I ended up in a cervical collar on metha-carbonol,
voltairin, praxin, and flexaril for 8+ weeks (graduated
from college a semester late due to missing a couple
exams)
I had to do the physical therapy gig for a couple months
and I still have neck/back pain over 8 years later if I
exercise strenuously.
Make sure you check w/ your dr... my concussion was
fairly immediately apparent...whiplash set in 48 hours
later (I literally couldn't move)
Take care of yourself...
