January 21, 2002-
Three car loads of Alpha Gams were on their way to do community service in a nearby town that has population like 2000. Anyway, we were about to turn right into a parking lot, the first car was turned and the second car in the process (all 3 had their blinkers on and were in the right hand lane) when a Semi Tractor trailer rear ended the last car (the one that I was in- in the backseat no less) which was almost stopped. The semi was doing 45 and the driver said he "just didn't see" us.
Anyway, I was taken to a nearby hospital and I was sore for like 4 weeks solid. I ended up having to drop down to 2 classes, take 12 months of physical therapy and have 3 surgeries. My neck, shoulder and back were all screwed up.
Now, I am in the middle of a lawsuit because over and above what the personal injury insurance paid (your auto insurance pays for car accident injuries) of around $10,000 I am out to collections on another $20,000 at least!
I had the nerve endings in my C4, C5, C6 and C7 vertabrae burned and I no longer have any sensation in the upper left quadrant of my back (and I never will again). My shoulder has scar tissue inside of it that I have to exercise and keep broken up (my arm will forever make noises! Like SNAP CRACKLE POP!) and I have developed a high tolerance to pain killers and muscle relaxers (you take em for 12 months and see how you do). So Percocet, darvocet and Lortabs along with valium, skelakin and Ultram are all like tylenol's to me. My last surgery they used enough medicine to put me under to put out a 250 lbs. man... and I was just barely medicated...
I hate car accidents!
