Tuesday. I was supposed to have Savannah but Britt never called me, thank GOD!.
Tuesday morning, I went to Matts earlier than usual because I had issues sleeping the night before. So I crawled into bed with Matt and the Kitty and we talked for a little bit and tried to go back to sleep. We went to 7Eleven again for hot chocolate with Irish Cream flavored creamers, and I dropped him off at work. When I got home I played on the Xbox for a while as I ate my coffee cake. I wound up getting a headache around noon so I took an Advil and went to take a nap. When I woke up, it was already 3:00. So i rushed to do my chores and got out of the house to go get Matt by 3:30, giving myself plenty of time, seeing as how he was off work at 4. Then it happened.
I was driving east on Chatsworth to go to Woodley. When I passed Havenhurst, I changed lanes to the right, even though I didnt have to turn right until Woodley (Debra was the next light in between Havenhurst and Woodley) I knew it would be really difficult with traffic to change over after Debra. I got half way down that segment of street when I notcied a white car flying down the left hand lane. When the car caught up with the car infront of it (which was still in front of me as well but in the left lane) the white car slammed on its breaks and turned into my lane just as I was passing, therefore hitting me. (Almost as if it was trying to change lanes before it hit the car in front of it in order ot avoid hitting it.) When it hit me, my front tires blew, thier windshield and passanger side windows shattered over my car, and I was slammed/dragged into a car that was parked at the curb on my right. Needless to say I slammed on my breaks just before impact, not that it did any good. I turned on my hazzards and called 911 (at 3:42) as I watched the car drive off!!! I managed to stay calm while i talked to the operator but when I called Matt to tell him I got hit and to ask him to call dad while I talked to the witnesses and police, I broke down and never stopped crying.
There were some really nice people that helped stop traffic behind me so that i could hobble my car all the way over to the curb. Then we found that I couldnt get out of the car, both sides. So while I tried calling matt again to see if his dad could come stay with me until my family got there, a witness too pictures of my car and the car I hit. He then had to pry the door open to get me out. I remember him letting go of it after i was out and it slammed shut like a rubberband.
The chick that hit me magically reappeared a half hour later. I never saw her car afterwards. I managed to get hold of Melissa's mom and she was the first person there and she helped me to get all of the other chicks information and helped me find mine.. Seeing as how when i hit the parked car, my glove box flew open. After all the info was exchanged, she took off again. Then Matt showed up. He ran halfway from the Van Nuys Airport before he was able to get hold of dean, who brought him to me the rest of the way. Then Dad showed up. This by now was an hour from impact at least. Dad made a call and found out that apparently the 911 operator didnt find that it was an emergency even though i TOLD HER that i needed LAPD and EMT Ambulance because i was hurt. While we waited Chris showed up and tried to calm me down as Dad and Matt looked at the street, you can see the skiddmarks from the chick swerving into me. Then I saw it.... Just over Chris's shoulder in the window of the neighbor's house that I carshed in front of, was a security camera!!! YAY FOR EVIDENCE!
Just after I saw that, the ambulance and fire truck came. They showed up at 5:12. They decided that I was injured badly enough to go to the hospital. Chris and Dad stayed with my car to wait for the police while MAtt went in the ambulance with me. I told him I was scared and to call Brianna and ask if her dad was working (he is a triage nurse at Holy Cross) and when we got there he was waiting for me at the door to the hospital. The took me in on a gurny and Ed took care of me personally. Mom showed up about 20 minutes later. And I cried again. I was in so much pain. I was in such a state of shock at the site that the only pain i noticed was in my left arm and left shoulder/neck. At the hospital, my thighs hurt, my neck, my back, my chest.... everything.... THey released me around eight. Matt carried me to the car. He stayed for dinner adn we watched Stardust. I fell asleep and Matt took me to bed. He tucked me in and made sure i had my meds, then Dad took him home.
When I woke up today, I woke up to Matt kissing my cheek. Him and dad had gone and gotten all my stuff out of the car and had it towed.
We spent all day in bed, playing playstation and sims. He took good care of me.
Well here is a pic of my car. the angle is not so good from the initial impact but the only thing on that side is a MASSIVE dent. have this for now and wish me luck for talking to my lawyer and the LAPD tomorrow...goodnight
