Recovering After an Accident

No one ever hopes to get in a car accident, but sadly it happens anyway.  You might take all the precautions in the world, but where there are cars, there are bound to be mishaps – they just haven’t got rid of human error yet.

Unfortunately for me, I am in the process of recovering after an accident.  You see, just a little more than a week ago, the temperature dropped below freezing and there was rain.  The result was ice all over the road, and that is something we are just not used to out here on the coast.

So, when I was out getting groceries, someone behind me hit a patch of ice and slid right into my vehicle.  I happened not to be paying attention at the time as I was looking for something in the glove box and ended up hurting my neck due to the collision.

I was a little mad at first, and it was sad to see my car injured, but I am most worried about my lost wages because I won’t be able to work.  Supposedly I should be feeling better in a couple of weeks, but in the meantime I will have to live off my savings until I can go back to work. 

It has definitely not been the highlight of my year.
