After yesterday's car acident

I'm in a lot of pain. For some reason, I have pain in my left hip, right ankle, and right wrist. The symptoms of concussion seem to be less, and I don't think my neck hurts too badly, but it is kinda hard to tell because my hip hurts alot. That is what I seem to be focusing on. Most of my back is stiff, too. I wrote about the accident yesterday, so I won't add details here. I just woke my daughter up to check on her, and she says her neck hurts, but other than that, she thinks she's ok. Both she and I have very high pain thresholds, though, so how much pain we feel doesn't always tell ya how badly we are hurt. I will say I do understand Uncle Joe now and why he was moving kinda slow...this morning.🫤

Sounds like a pretty violent hit, possibly from an angle. Glad you are ok. Your hip make hurt from the seat belt or hitting the door. The same with your feet hitting the petals weird.

@Livingwell Yeah, I think he was trying to miss us at the last minute, because most of the damage is in the back on the driver's side. I think you are right about why I hurt where I hurt. Thank you for your kind and thoughtful comment. It has helped me greatly because your comment is helping me put the pieces together. Yesterday, things just kinda all ran together. I know that sounds weird. 😔 I really do appreciate your help. 🙂

@Journaling4MeAgain It's weird how we process such things. The mind goes into slow motion and we hear every sound and see things move like we are looking from the outside. Afterward.. silence.
