Short story: I had a car accident today. Got smashed into by a pickup truck while I was making a left turn - obliterated the right side of the car. I can handle that. The part that gets me is that’s where Tisha was sitting We think she’s alright, but they’re taking X-Rays now to be sure.

So I’m waiting here while they do her X-Rays. Again, she says she’s fine, but I wanted to be sure. I couldn’t handle it if she was hurt.

The fact that we’re pretty much okay is a testament to how well built the VW Jetta is. I swear, it was just like those commercials you see on TV. If I wasn’t so paranoid, she’d have crawled out on her own, and we’d be standing by the car muttering “Holy Sh…” just like in the ads.

Pretty sure the car is totalled. We’ll see.

I’ll post more when I know more, but again, I’m pretty sure everyone’s okay (else I’d not be sitting here writing about it casually in a blog).

Sigh.

UPDATE: Follow-up to the previous post. Tisha’s okay, just sore (passenger side of the car took the impact, and she was the passenger). My leg will have a nasty bruise from where the center console hit it (the car’s a mess, trust me).

But, in all, we’re walking away from this one with some scrapes and bruises. And are VERY lucky to be doing so.
