My Poor Outback

First off thanks everyone for their concern and well wishes for me after my car accident. I tend to downplay things right off… saying I’m fine, all is well, and then I have to realize it’s okay to be human and it’s okay if I’m not all that strong. I went to the chiropractor yesterday after my accident to get checked out. He took a number of x-rays and it did seem to whack my back and neck out of alignment. Today I have a nasty head ache and I bet it’s related. Yesterday my upper back hurt quite a bit after the adrenaline wore off, and my shoulders had pain radiating in them.
This morning my Mom and Dad came and picked up Me and my Husband and took us to Sterling Auto Body, who will be doing the repairs. This is the third time they’ve had my poor car in their shop… first was when we hit the whole freakin’ herd of dear about 2 or so years ago. Second time was when someone hit my rear end when I was at a flyball tournament and then drove away, no note no anything. And this is the third. My poor Subaru Outback, only a 2004, has really had some awful luck in it’s lifetime!
Not to mention me. Two rollovers (only one was my fault lol) and now this. Each time I go through an intersection, now, I’m freaked out and I get some awful anxiety and I have to slow down and look both ways. Thank goodness this afternoon I get to stay home and just take care of myself. I need a playstation 3 to forget about the wreck. I will probably have dreams about it in a day or two… sometimes it takes a couple days for things to sink in.
Otherwise, I’m okay. Stressed, tired, not feeling too hot, but getting by. I’ll try to reply to everyone’s comments soon! My friend Marie’s Husband said, after looking at the pictures, that he’s gonna get an outback! LOL my car did hold up well… and her’s was pretty bad. I do love my Outback. I do hope it’s not totaled. They don’t know yet. They don’t have time to start working on it until Tuesday. Ugh!

Glad you’re okay, and that your car is mostly okay. I think that some cars are lucky, and some cars are targets for other cars! My RAV4 was a target, poor thing!
Hi Splash, I agree. My toyota pickup was great, never got hit! This car isn’t so great!
Thanks God you are fine. Think positive and you will get much better much faster. And get that PS 3, it will move negative thoughts aside.

Thanks Jacob! I have been doing okay today.
It really doesn’t look as bad as I thought it would considering what her SUV looked like! Hopefully they’ll be able to repair it and not have to total it. Hope you get to feeling less achy.

Hi Lynne… yeah, it doesn’t look that bad, but the front drive train is all screwy too, it was hard to get that on the picture. The Jeep sure did look worse, I bet it was totaled. I sure hope my car isn’t totaled!
I’m doing okay… though my neck has been bugging me a lot today.
I was wondering about the post you had made earlier after your wreck. Somehow, it just didn’t sound quite right, especially after seeing what the vehicles went through.
The human body and mind are pretty amazing at putting up with a lot, but it does seem that eventually the proverbial Yit does hit the fan.
Hope you get feeling better.

[...] I haven’t posted much about it here, but on August 1, 2008 I was in a car accident. A lady ran a red light on the way into work and I T-Boned her. She flipped and rolled a good 50 or [...]
Overall, what did you think of Sterling? I\’ve got a friend who runs a body shop and he does not have a high opinion of Sterling, since they are owned by Allstate.
I once had a car insured with a subsidiary of Allstate and ended up cancelling it when they really went cheap on a claim. The only claim that I had had with them in over 20 years. They lost me as a customer over $800. It seems to me to be a bad business decision. It’s unclear to me if you are insured by Allstate or not, since I came across this blog on an unrelated search.
By the way, I REALLY REALLY LIKE the page that you go to if you get the chapcta(sp) wrong that gives you a chance to copy your page. What a great feature to have enabled.
