hit and run

i was rear ended on Tuesday morning by some dumbfuck as i was getting off the freeway. tried to pull over safely into a nearby, less busy street and the fucker DROVE OFF! my cell phone was dead so i couldn't call the police and i had to go to work to call. by the time i get to work (in less than 2 min), i start panicking about the baby. the receptionist calls the police and dispatch sends over 2 cop cars, a fire truck and an abulance.

they ask me a bunch of questions and transport me to the nearest emergency room via ambulance. once i'm in emergency, i undress and put on one of those backless gowns. Not flattering or comfy LOL i stay there for a max of 10 min to be told by the ER doc that i have a lower back strain and that the baby needs to be monitored in L&D for at least 3 hours. 3 HOURS! holy crap!

i'm wheelchaired up to L&D by an orderly who barely speaks english. he was a very nice man, but left me alone several times. i ended up in one of the birthing rooms where they strapped a fetal heart tone monitor and a contraction monitor on to me. well, baby girl did not like the contraction monitor because she kept kicking it LOL. even though the whole ordeal was a sacary experience, it was nice to listen to her heartbeat for 3 hours.

everything is okay so far...my back is still incredibly sore, but as long as the baby is okay that's all i card about. now i just have to deal with getting my car fixed and the insurance adjusters.
