I was in a car accident Friday night. I was driving to work in the pouring rain, and I'd been going fairly slowly compared to how I usually drive. The car started to hydroplane, and I wiggled the wheel, thinking it would stop like it always does, but this time it didn't. I kept rolling off to the side. I saw I was going to be in the grass, and had a brief thought that maybe once I was there I would have some traction. I turned the wheel slightly, ready to curve back onto the road, but the ground was so saturated with water that there was zero traction. Looking up, I saw that I was aimed at a barbed wire fence, a telephone pole, two wooden posts and a road sign. I hit them all, curling up in my seat and covering my head. I didn't say anything... I just thought about how I was going to die or be paralyzed or seriously injured. The car came to a stop right in front of another wooden post of the barbed wire fence. I looked up and then dashed out of the car, pushing against the barbed wire, ripping my clothes and cutting into my side. I just wanted to get away from the mangled metal and shattered wood. I ran and then turned and stood in the pouring rain, just staring at the wreckage. A car pulled up and the person got out, checking to see if I was kk. He stood with me until my mom came to get me.
It's Sunday now. My back and neck are killing me. I'll go to the doctor tomorrow. My lymph nodes are incredibly swollen, too. My tonsils are the largest I've ever seen them... When I swallow, some of the food gets rejected because of the soreness and how swollen my throat is. The back of my head and my neck are so incredibly stiff. I think I may have a double ear infection, too... My sense of balance has gone to shit.
Interesting weekend. Welcome to being 18.
