Physical Therapy

Today was physical therapy day. I love my PT days because it's so relaxing, especially when I get my massage. The electrode-thing they do (I don't know what it's called but I love it) helps to loosen my neck muscles. Rocky Mountain is fantastic! The staff there is great and really nice.

So it's been two months since my accident and for the first time I feel I'm finally on the mend. For those who don't know, this is what happened...

I was in a bad car accident in November. I had just left work and turned onto 6th north. A truck had hit ice and had spun out, then hit the wall. When I reached him, his vehicle was facing traffic, blocking the lane. I hit ice and cruised into his truck. The damage wasn't too bad on either vehicle. My car had a dent in the bumper. It was a little bit scary. The guy came to see if I was OK. I opened my door and said, "I'm fine". That's when I got hit. A lady slammed into the back of my car. I was thrown out of the vehicle and onto the road. I don't how long I was out. When the lady hit me, my car hit another vehicle's bumper. The two guys (one from the truck and one from the other car) helped me up. The back of my head was pounding, my leg hurt. I had cut my leg but it wasn't bleeding.

It took about 30-40 minutes for the police to arrive. A tow truck came a couple hours later and hauled my car away. I went to the hospital that night for x-rays and to get checked out. The x-rays came back negative. I had a bone bruise on my leg, I was bruised from my ankle to my knee. It's was so hard to walk on it. I couldn't do anything for days. I had muscle spasms in my neck and bad whiplash.

The lady who hit me drove off. Just hit me and drove off. Her car must have substantial damage. My car was totaled. The entire back end was crunched. The two back doors don't open. It's beyond repair.

It could have much worse. The doctor reminded me I'm lucky the car didn't run over me. It's been painful and I've been very emotional the past two months.

But now, I'm recovering. And I'm so happy there's physical therapy. :)

First Night!

Happy new year!
Brent and I celebrated the end of 2008 downtown at First Night. There were bands, fire performers, a hypnotist and dancers. I love being downtown on new years!
We were really entertained by the guy on stage, not the band, but the painter. You can see him above. He painted random things while the band performed.
