WIP & Chat #47 - My First Car Accident (I’m Sore!!), When Will I Ever Get Some Sleep?!?!

[@amanda_g147]

Your tired brain rambles made me smile, Elisa. I look forward to listening to you on a Saturday morning while I’m enjoying my coffee and diamond painting. You are spot on with the aspect of feeling pain days after a car accident. I somehow managed to stomp on my left ankle in an accident while trying to hit the brakes and didn’t realize until the next morning when it swelled to the size of a softball that I had even injured it. 😂 I’m so glad you’re okay and taking care of yourself and that your little green car isn’t totaled. I hope you’re able to figure out a sleep fix soon and that your week ahead goes well despite not really getting much of a break this weekend due to being on duty. ❤

Thank you Amanda! The sleep is still being worked on, but the accident pain is gone now, so that’s good! You made me smile with your ankle stomp!

Thanks Elisa! Such a cute image and so happy that you finally have the Lunar New Year Kitty behind you. I am so sorry about your car accident but so happy that you weren't too terribly hurt. I so get the TMJ thing as I suffer from that myself. The jaw flaring up after the accident makes perfect sense as mine always did when I was under great stress and the car accident would have tensed your whole body causing the flare up. Glad you are feeling better.

Thanks Carol! TMJ issues suck for sure! No bueno!

Sorry you had an accident, but glad everyone was okay aside from some minor pain. This diamond painting is going to turn out really nice. I love the colors!

[@MenckArtsandCrafts]

Thank you! Yes, the colors here are gorgeous!!

Hi Elisa, so sorry to hear to that you got in a car accident, ahh, that stinks. But glad to hear that you are okay. So sorry you haven't been sleeping well either, I can definitely understand that. Sending you all the good vibes, friend. I am finally catching up and it was so nice listening this morning to your WIP n Chat. Good times! Take care Elisa. Hang in there!

[@MenckArtsandCrafts]

I’m still playing catch up myself! Thank you Chris!!

Thanks Lee!!

Glad your accident wasn't too serious. Sorry you are sore. I got hit by another car (they ran a red light) about 10 years ago and even though the other driver admitted fault his insurance fought mine because the cop put in his report he couldn't figure out who was at fault. So I got paid our for my car (it was deemed totaled) and they went to arbitration and my insurance company won. Hope you get some good sleep soon.

[@MenckArtsandCrafts]

Thank you Stacy! Insurance is good, but at the same time it sucks that they act like that because they don’t want to pay. So annoying.

Not to state the obvious but you’re overdue for a break my dear! The vid, monster migraines, insomnia episodes and now an accident- yep life owes you a show of amends in my humble opinion. Couple 🐿️s. 1. Had that person been wearing a headset from the other company that should’ve made all background noises nonexistent. (Yes completely unprofessional) 2. Consider if you can hear all of that others likely heard your convo too. Be very careful with your info in that scenario. 3. Your very first accident DANG! You must be a stellar driver. You can still claim you’ve never caused an accident just saying… 4. Keep a log of your injuries however minute and report them to insurance. Yes, you’re the doctor here and I strongly believe we each know our bodies best. Still, this is a be safe not sorry situation. More than likely it won’t come to anything based on what you’ve said so it won’t hurt anyone to play it smart in the event something does become a problem you need another professional to treat. Logic is helpful on occasion which you know as you’re an extremely logical and practical person from my observation (diamond painting purchases do not apply 😂). With that said thank goodness you’re relatively okay as is your green bean mobile. Your health and wellbeing supersedes all else! To have gone so far without an accident is damn impressive! I will neither admit nor deny the several instances I’ve experienced such as driving over the roofs of three brand new Mercedes on a lot. 😅 Seriously, take care of you. Rest as best you can and keep counting your blessings. Your positivity will do wonders in this regard. Very, very thankful you’re okay- don’t know each other or anything but still super grateful you’re okay!!! ❤❤❤ Bless you sugar 🤗

Three Mercedes?!?! Hahahaha! You totally made me smile there Laura! This comment totally made my day! Thank you! The green bean mobile. Love it! The great thing about my healthcare is everything is free and totally covered - I’m not worried about that piece - and the wrist and TMJ were just exacerbating existing issues. I am a pretty safe driver. 36 and just had my first accident. It has been a pretty rough year so far though. I feel like I’ve taken a beating in 2024. Well, nowhere to go but up!

Bummer about the accident . Hope you are feeling better and healing quickly ❤️‍🩹

[@MenckArtsandCrafts]

Thank you! I’m slowly feeling better!
