Justin picked me up for lunch and on the way back to the office, we were hit. This old guy tried to change lanes IN the intersection from a right-hand-turning-only lane into a straight lane and hit us. Big scrape from the back passenger door to the front passenger door, where I was sitting!! I'm a little shaken, but ok.

He says, "well, I had my indicator on..."

YOU CAN'T CHANGE LANES IN AN INTERSECTION PERIOD!!!

Especially if you're in the turning lane!

Justin handled everything so well, too. Got all the guy's info and called in the claim. He's worried cause I'm shaky, but I'll be ok. It has more to do with the thinking of what could have happened than what did.

I just thank those powers that be that we're ok.

I'm so, so sorry! I know how nerveracking it is! I was in an accident once and I forgot things like copying down the guy's license, getting his number. Good thing that you weren't alone. And that you're fine. I hope that you stay fine. I started to hurt as soon as the adrenalyn went down. ((((((big hugs))))))))

Well, I'm feeling a little achy this morning, and will be going to the doctor this afternoon.

Better to be safe and get checked out.

Hugs, dear... glad everything important is ok... including your nerves, even if they're a little shaken.

You poor thing - that is a big inconvience and scare. Thank goodness Justin was with you and you are both okay. Good luck getting everything back into place.

Thanks guys.

The doc checked me out and ordered xrays. She said it seems that I strained the muscles. Gave me some muscle relaxants and a list of stretches to do. Said I will probably feel a little worse before feeling better, but that by the end of the week I should be feeling better. If not, then I have to go back.
