The good news is . . .

I'm okay, except for a maybe sprained ankle, my neighbor is okay and the other guy is okay.


The bad news, if you haven't guessed is, on the way to the theater in Milwaukee, I was in an accident. My fault, I hit the other guy. Thankfully his car is fine (really, amazingly minor damage!) and my car fared worse - the hood is kinked and the grill is smashed, but it was driveable.


I feel so stupid! And I feel so bad about my car! I love that car! I only hope my ankle is only sprained (I think I sprained it hitting the brake!). If it keeps hurting, or hurts worse tomorrow, I'll go see a doctor.

Sorry to hear this happened ..
TG you & your neighbor are ok though .. that's most important.
And the fact that the other guy is ok..
You can always replace your car.
Hopefully you can repair what needs to be repaired

Oh you poor thing. At least it wasn't too bad. Let us know what you're update is. What kind of car do you have?

I have a "95 Olds Cutlass. I know it sounds like not much of a car, lol, but it's in great shape and looks (looked) so good and I just love it. Much as I love it, though, I don't know if dh will think it's worth fixing. But I suppose fixing it would be cheaper than buying a new one.


It's driveable, I was able to drive it home last night, but the hood has a big buckle in it and the front.... grill I guess... is smashed up some.


I don't know how I did that to my car, but barely made a mark on the other car. I don't think he'd even have to get the scuffs in the rubber back stuff fixed! Lucky him!

I guess it can be fixed. It will need a new hood and grill, but the fenders aren't damaged and I don't think the frame is bent. It "tracked" well when I drove it home last night. So maybe the fix won't be as bad as I fear.

Yeah, I think my ankle will be okay in a few days. It's not badly swollen and not very bruised - just hurts a lot, so I'll keep it wrapped and up as much as I can and hope for the best.


Today, though, I am feeling other little aches and pains. My shoulders, knee, and chest a little (where I hit the seat belt, I think) are giving me twinges. I must have tensed every muscle in my body, trying to stop!


And the car is here - I can drive it, it just looks like Hell, lol. Hopefully there will be some places open today to get some estimates on fixing it. If not, I'll have to go myself next week and the thought of that is very intimidating.

Thanks. I know accidents happen and, as accidents go, this wasn't that bad (we all walked away and even the car can be driven). But it was ME and it was MY car and I just don't get myself into situations like that, LOL! I feel really stupid. And feel like I should apologize to my car for being so careless with it, lol.
