Oops, I forgot!

So this weekend I was reminded that I never mentioned that I was in a car accident (thanks, JJ!) - On September 23 (I remember because it was Kenny's birthday), after I dropped off the kids, I was in an accident on the way to work. I was driving in the left lane on Hwy 30, when a little gal turned right onto the highway and right into the left lane - where I was. She hit the passenger side of the van, in the front, and squished it enough that we couldn't open the passenger door. I went right to the doctor's office, as my neck started hurting as soon as the adreneline wore off. He sent me directly to physical therapy, which I have been continuing. Some days it does feel better, but lately I have found myself being depressed sometimes about the pain continuing on. I'm just afraid that it will be that way from now on. I guess it's been a down time with the economy and layoffs and all - and the pain isn't horrible -certainly not unbearable - it's just there...and it's starting to wear on me a bit.
But don't worry, I'm hanging in there - so many people have things worse than I do, and I am so aware of it...but that's one of the downfalls of being empathetic, I'm feeling badly for them too! :-)
Anyhow - that's the story of the car accident...
Blessings,
Lisa
