Antsy and Worried.

General
Got a message from Charm/Gentle. They T-boned some asshat who ran an intersection and failed to stop. Truck destroyed, and as of 7 hours ago they were till in the hospital waiting on scans and stuff and sore as all get out. But they messaged me so hopefully everything will be okay physically. <:( Ugh. I need a hug now.
***UPDATE***
Charm is home from teh hospital, severely achy and bruised. Truck is wrecked, and ashole who t-boned is claiming brakes locked up. Then explain why there are NO skid marks till AFTER the point of impact? Hmmmmmmm? Charm is relaxing and being momma henned (hir words) back to health. I am VERY relieved. >.> Thank you all for the well-wishes and I WILL pass them on.
***UPDATE #2***
Poor Charm is incredibly sore. No insurance, and the hospital kicked hir out with the bare minimum of care. I am so STEAMED right now it's not funny. Half-tempted to drive down to florida with the biggest cannon I can find and start blowin' shit up. Then I remember that the hurricanes do it for me. >.> Seriously though, I am just glad shi's alive right now.

Still being able to text (and be coherent) means no immediate brain damage. The scans are probably to look for hidden damage. Sore all over sounds about right for being in a front collision, the seat belt and airbags are there to keep you from flying about the cabin and keep you from cracking your head open on the dash, they're not kind to the parts they protect. The cabin would need to be expanded about five feet in every direction to provide enough space for 'no injury deceleration.
Charm's a tough wolf, considering everything shi's gone through, and the asshat's insurance should cover replacing the truck, depending on how fly-by-night the asshat's insurance company is, they may try to argue 'shared liability.' (The idiot who hit me had a company like that, they tried to argue that I should not have stopped while making a right hand turn on red after starting the turn simply because an ambulance was screaming into the intersection with lights blazing and having just turned on the siren.)
