Totaled the Z today

Sundown

Definitely not too soon to ask. I think discussing the accident is part of the healing process. Fair warning, though, I just got a shot of dilaudid for pain, so my spelling and gramar may be jacked up.

Anyway, it was just a matter of seconds before the flames started. It went like this : Impact, brief mental check of my own injuries (deep breathes, wiggle fingers and toes, etc), then waited for the airbag smoke to clear. Once the smoke cleared, I saw the flames come up. It was actually his truck that ignited first, not the car. My nose broke his driveshaft, which tore the fuel lines, and ruptured the gas tank.

Update on me: I had my first round of rehab today, which I can honestly say SUCKS!!!. Rehab sucks donkey nuts, actually. It's hard to believe how much just walking hurts. And they saw it'll be 8-12 weeks of this crap. Oh well, the pain reminds me that I'm alive, I guess. Here's a picture of my boot I'll be in for a while.

They still plan on discharging me tomorrow with outpatient rehab follow up. I'll check back in with you guys later.
