So, some of you know, and some of you don't, but last wednesday, November 4th at about 12:30 in the morning I was in a car accident. I was driving home from a friends house on I-80 Westbound when I looked up and there was a car stalled in the lane in front of me, not visible until they were in my headlights. I slammed on my brakes but it was too late and I ran right into the back of the car, we spun out of control and I hit the center divider. When the car stopped I was stuck in the car, and I couldn't move my leg and the smoke coming from the dash board and there was a lot of heat on my legs. I tried to get out of the car but to no avail. I then called 911 and tried as best I could to tell them what was happening without screaming or being hysterical (easier said than done). I then called jeff then my sister, told them what happened. After more futile attempts to get out of the car I saw the guy from the other car up and walking about and tried to call out to him that I was stuck, and thought my leg was broken and my car was on fire. He turned around and walked in the other direction. The emergency people arrived and had to cut the driver's side door off in order to pull me out.

I'm going to fast-forward through the more gruesome hospital-y bits, my foot is broken in two places and I had to be in surgery for 8 hours to get it fixed. Luckily I had one of the best orthopeadic surgeons in the the country working on me, so I am very thankful to be alive and healing well. I'm at UCDavis Med Center, but I hear I'm being transferred to Sutter Roseville in the morning, and should only be there for a few days before they send me home. I'm on enough pain meds to keep me comfortable most of the time, and I have my cell so if you want to talk feel free to call. I'm borrowing ashley's laptop to post this, so I won't be reachable via internet until I come home, but if you leave me messages I'll try to respond to all of them when I can :3

Oh yeah, for the curious, here are some pictures my mum took of my car when she went to the towing place:
