Shit happens

[mata]

I was poked a while back and thought about updating, even though there isn't that much going on right now, but then tonight happend. Dun dun duuun.
Anyhow, Anton, my baby nephew, is doing quite well. Close to 8 months now and he's trying to stand up. Currently my sister is spending a month in Malaga with him, before it's back to work soonish. Pityu is holding up too, going on nineteen now. I'll hopefully post photos sometime soon, right now I'm a tad too shaky to sort this out.
Just got home, I was in an accident and I have the need to 'talk' about it, but there's barely anyone still awake, so I'll just ramble here.
I was picking my mother up at the airport and on the drive home - she was the one driving - pretty much around the corner of the airport, some guy thought it's a jolly good idea to make a turn without looking. There was no room to change the lane, my mother hit the brakes, but it was too late. Went straight into his side and the next thing I know is the airbag deflating in front of me, smoke everywhere and the horn going.
The car is totaled, we have a few bruises (and the other driver is okay as well), but overall we got away lucky. Will visit my doctor for an exam, just to make sure. But boy, that certainly was an experience I could've done without. My aunt picked us up and brought us home. I had a good ten minutes of being slightly nervous until I settled to just not looking at the traffic.

I'm awake... and making a rare appearance at livejournal!

Gosh you were lucky to just get away with bruises, but please take care incase any injuries show up later on. Hope you aren't too ache-y tomorrow! xx

Now that's timing then. *g*

I feel lucky too, even though it still hurts. I've been checked quite thououghly now, I'm fine, it's really just bruises. :D

[justjo2u]

glad to hear it. Hope your mum is OK too. xx

[padabee.livejournal.com]

She is indeed. Now it's running around trying to sort the mess with the car and the insurance. *g*

[justjo2u]

Tha't a pain but it's just 'stuff'. As long as the people are OK is the main thing.

Hope you recover soon! Steal that cookie from Cookie Monster's mouth...you sound like you need one.

[padabee.livejournal.com]

Now that sounds like a great plan! Cookies do help. *g*

[gothrockrulz.livejournal.com]

*waves* Woohoo, so glad to hear from you! It's been a while.

Glad your sis and nephew are doing well. So sorry you had such a scare, though thank goodness all parties are okay. Nothing like crazy drivers to freak you out. People, man. People.

Hope the rest of your week is quiet and soothing to make up for a scary beginning!

[padabee.livejournal.com]

Yes, and I continue to feel slightly guilty for updating so rarely lately and not being able to keep up. :s

Seriously. I mean, the guy was friendly and calm, and he had that one derp moment we all have at some point, it's just that most of the time luck prevents anything worse. Not just this time. His navigation system said he had to turn, so he did. Without looking.

I'd like that too. *gg*

Oh, that's rough! Now I feel kinda sorry for him. But, still . . . ah, well. I'll bet he'll be very careful to look in future!

So sorry you had an accident! Airbags can save your life but can be very damaging as well. A man I worked with had a small slow impact accident, (this was back in the 1990's when airbags had some metal mesh coverings) and when the airbag deployed it damaged the skin on the insides of his arms so badly he needed skin grafts!

So glad all involved came out unhurt *hugs*

Our pups are getting old!! Cayman is going to be 10 this year! Testament to how much we love and care for them :)

[padabee.livejournal.com]

Gosh yes, I've heard quite a few horror stories about airbags. Especially with slow impacts they can be more dangerous than helpful. This time though I think the worst it did was punching me in the chest. xD

*hugs back* Me too. I'll miss the car. I really liked the car, but better it than us.

Wow, ten years! I think I remember when you got the little furball. Time flies.

Dear Lord!
As happy as I am to read you, what happened, makes me everythiung but happy. :s
I hope you´re fine. Go to your doctor, it´s the best you can do. Hopefully it´s nothing very bad and you are fine again soon.

I hope, to read you more often again. With more news about your nephew und Pityu doing fine.

[padabee.livejournal.com]

Yeah, sometimes no news are the nicer alternative, mh? Luckily, the bad stuff only tends to stand out more than the good.
I've just spend a few hours in the emergency room, needed it for the insurance anyway. I'm okay, it's just bruises indeed, but I feel better for knowing. :D

I'll try and really want to, I miss LJ and you guys!

[roxy42.livejournal.com]

Glad to read, you actually are okay.

[msilverstar]

I'm so glad you are OK! I was in a high-speed fender-bender (or really, mirror-ripper) and it freaked me out for months. So please be kind to yourself, that's a trauma for sure.

[poetic-self.livejournal.com]

Oh, poor you-. Car accidents are such a shitty thing to live through (and remember). Here, have a *hug* and a cup of tea.

What did the doctor say, btw? Neck and everything ok?

[icequeen3101.livejournal.com]

Damn, sorry to hear about the accident, but I'm glad nothing bad happened to either of you! (minus the totalled car, but better that than any serious injuries!)

[violateraindrop]

That doesn't sound good and I'm glad you only got a few bruises! Sending good vibes and *hugs*

[cat-o-wen.livejournal.com]

Oh my gosh, I am so sorry to hear about your accident! *gentle cuddles* No doubt you were quite shaken by it!!! I hope that neither you or your mother find any lingering injuries. I am relieved that you were not hurt!!!

Please take a day to rest and recover.

xxxxx

[eumelkeks.livejournal.com]

OMG glad you're okay! Well, relatively. Accidents are scary as shit. *clings*

[ohfreckle.livejournal.com]

Poor you, car accidents are always so scary *hugs*. Make sure that you'll go and see the doctor, dealing with untreated problems later is so not fun.

[siberian-angel.livejournal.com]

Oh God! Glad you're okay, besides being shaken!
And 19 is a proud age, even for a dog!
Hope the rest of your week goes without incidents!

[hai-di.livejournal.com]

Lovely to hear that Anton and Pityu are doing well :)

OMG - that sounds horrible!! Good that noone is badly hurt, though it sure was a shock plus minor bruises and a wrecked car - poor you - sending big *hugs*

[ladyithildiel.livejournal.com]

Goodness!!!!I am so so glad you're alright and that you weren't hurt, my dear!!!*hugs close*

Glad to read about Pityu and the little nephew!:D

[andnolewen.livejournal.com]

hey sweetie~good to see you around.
What a shock, that car accident. :( I am relieved to hear you are well and mom too. You were lucky!
Hopefully insurance will take care of everything smoothly and you will be able to drive a car again soon. Is best you get back on the road asap.

Would love to see piccies of your nephew. Miss seeing you around here. Are you still busy with Larp-ing (is that a word *g* )

xx

[stolenglimpse.livejournal.com]

Accidents suck. Glad to read you're okay. Hopefully that doctor's appointment will get you fixed as to how okay you are.

*hugs*

[sasha-b.livejournal.com]

Well I'm super glad to see you but I'm really sorry that happened. *hugs* Take it easy tonight and you will be sore - I've had that happen before and you always feel really weird for a while. Give yourself a break and rest ok?

xxoo

[macfraser82.livejournal.com]

OH MY.... Glad that you are okay *hugs*
What did the Doc say?

[nila-rena.livejournal.com]

Oh my! Glad everyone is okay! *hugs*

I'm glad no one got hurt in the accident, can only imagine how scary it would have been.*hugs you again*
