Okay I have another story Options

[libertie]

Soo, I woke up in a hospital bed last night.

Baasically, I was getting ready to go to a study session for my music theory final which was at 8am today. I was standing in the parking lot outside the music building, and that's all I can remember. I woke up in the hospital room totally freaked out, and the first thing I did was try to get someone to talk to me, and bitch about my purse (which had my laptop in it). My roommate came in and told me the story according to a friend who was with me at the time.

Apparently I was standing outside, probably wasn't paying attention, and a car backed into me. It hit me (I'm not sure which direction, but I was hit nonetheless) and I fell to the ground. I was knocked unconscious, probably from hitting my head and not from the impact of the car.

The interesting thing about this is that I have no recollection of the event; but in addition, I have no damage to show for it. No bruises, nothing's broken, nothing hurts, no blood (I think). Last night I thought that I didn't even hurt my head when I fell, but when I took a shower, I did notice that one spot on the back of my head stings quite a bit, so I guess I do have a bit of a.. something.. from hitting the ground.

They did a few silly reflex tests to make sure I didn't have a concussion, and I was able to leave (I asked several times if I'd be able to go home last night). I walked into theory this morning and people clapped. O_o

But yeah, last night was interesting. I talked to a few of you when I was in the hospital waiting for someone to tell me something, so that was fun. =]

OH and probably the most important thing I keep forgetting about. I don't have health insurance, so the ER visit (while not being a big deal) will cost. The person who hit me (I still don't know who it was since I wasn't awake) is going through her insurance to cover it, and I'm not suing for anything more.

That's really scary.

I've been really sensitive about car accidents recently because a good friend of mine had been hit by a car a few months ago and was severely injured. Nobody was with him and the car didn't even stop; thank god there were other people who saw what happened and chased down the car (we live in NYC so I guess it's not that hard to do that) and called 911. He doesn't remember anything that happened, but he ended up with a few broken ribs, a fractured vertebrae, a broken leg, and a bad concussion.

It just really scares me; for weeks after that, I wouldn't cross the street unless the crosswalk said go, lol.

Be careful.
