Major post

So I realize it's been almost a month since I last posted. I'm still working at Super America albeit not for the next few days.

I was in a bad car accident this morning. My roommate Amber picked me up from work at about 12:20 am and we gave my coworker, David, a ride home. After that we were headed to the grocery store. We were at 31st and Park when we were T-boned. Amber had accidently ran the red light, but the guy that hit us was drunk. We were going about 38 mph in a 35 zone and he was going much faster than us. Amber's car was totalled.

She fractured her collarbone on the seatbelt, but otherwise was relatively unhurt. I wasn't wearing my seatbelt *insert sheepish look here* and so I cracked the windshield with my head (ironically, the windshield was the only thing cracked; my head wasn't). I also hurt my left forearm and my left hip. Other than that, my neck and shoulders are really sore and tight and my left shoulder is tender. I still have a knot on my forehead and the top of my head is sore, too.

So anyways, Amber and I were taken to HCMC by ambulance. We got there at about 1:15 and were released at 3:15...shortest ER stay I've ever seen. We were both x-rayed and given pain killers. Her arm is in a sling, but I don't really have any outward signs of injury (other than the grimace of pain on my face whenever I have to move). I was given a prescription for both Vicodin and Ibuprofen so that should help with most of the pain. I also have doctor's permission to be out of work for a couple days, but I think I'm gonna go see my doc and try to be out recouperating for the rest of the week.

Amber and I need a lot of prayer. We appreciate it greatly.
