This is Flame/Redletters. I'm sure most have you have heard what happened to me by now - my roommate Cryo/Truevision said he told many of you what had happened.
For those who haven't heard, I was on my way to my future brother-in-law's house on Sunday, going about 55 mph (the speed limit) and was hit on the left side by a car coming off of a cross street. I was hit in the rear driver's side door, slid off the road and flipped four times! My fiance was with me, and although she's a little sore, she is completely fine.
I know God was watching out for us - there are so many things that could have gone a lot worse. The point of impact was just about two feet behind where I was sitting, and although the outsideof the car looks horrible - the inside where we were sitting looks pretty good. There was also a cop following us who saw the whole thing and was right by the car seconds after we stopped rolling.
We were taken to Akron City Hospital where Rachel (my fiance) was checked out and released. She just had some soreness on her right side and was able to go back to work on Monday.
I stayed Sunday and overnight until Monday afternoon with a concussion and a 'bruise on my brain.' I still don't remember the accident, anything from Sunday, the date of the accident, OR anything from Saturday, including being in Rachel's brother's wedding. I'm not sure if it will come back, but if that's all that I lose from this, then that's fine with me.
Things have been coming back to me slowly. The main thing is that I remember everyone and everything that I should, it just seems like everything was a long time ago.
I have a lot to do, like finding a new car, getting the police report, finding out the other driver's insurance, and getting money from them for a new car and to pay my hospital bills.
I know that God has been with me this whole time, and will work this situation out for me. I look at the pictures form my car and I know that He kept us safe.
They told me that on Sunday I kept asking the same questions over and over again, so my sister made a sign for me explaining everything.
I'm at my parent's house right now resting, and I'm going to go down to the police station today and get all the info I need. I'm not sure when I'l be able to be on again, but I'm glad you all are praying for me. I'll check these forums periodically and see you all when I can!
Always wear your seatbelt - it saved our lives!
