Two BIG experiences

edited November -1 in General Discussion
Like the title says, I had to big experiences in one day. First of all, I am now a graduate of 2006. That was fun. I tried hard not to cry, but all of the other girls around me were crying so it was hard to not get all sad.

But I was late going to my graduation (not the acutal thing, I had to be there an hour early for photos and a run-through), because of this:

That's the second experience. I hit a loose patch of gravel, thought I had control of my car, but I hit another loose patch as I gained control, then lost control again, then swerved into that ditch. I rolled twice. I kind of sat there upside down for a bit, in shock, then I unbuckled myself, fell to the roof of my car, crawled out, then walked to the nearest house to call my mom.

I was scared out of my mind. I'm fine though, I just had a headache all day from rolling around and hitting my head on the roof, but other than that, I didn't get hurt.

My mom said if I didn't brake while serving, I would have hit the tree.

That made me cry a lot. Thinking about my car and me actually smashing into the tree.

  • Oh my gosh. Im so glad your fine. Dont think about the car, just be glad that your not hurt.
  • Oh my. I'm happy your ok. Your very lucky. Congratulations on graduating though.
  • Holy shit. That's scary. I've only ever barely tapped someone while driving, and that scared the shit out of me, so I can't imagine rolling. I'm glad you're okay!!!!
  • Holy shit!! Jaded, I'm so glad you're safe. What an amazing story. That's quite a memory for your graduation. Wow, congrats though and I'm glad you didn't hurt yourself!

    (P.S. if it were my mom, after the initial shock wore off, she'd kill me for doing that to her car, lol. Ok maybe not.)
  • wow... i'm glad you're okay... and congrats on graduating...
  • Oh my god Jade.... that's insane. I'm glad you're alright though. You're extremely lucky.

    That picture still has me in shock.
  • thanks, guys.

    That's my car, actually. But my uncle fixed it up for me, so I didn't pay anything for it. (he didn't do a really good job on fixing it up, though. We had to get a new hose that leads to the gas tank a week before because it was completely rotted. and the speedometer doesn't work all the time, my window on the driver side is stuck. the brakes suck, the struts suck, two of the tires aren't aligned because my uncle cut the rims to fit them. He basically jipped me out of a safe car.)
  • id get to the docters hun just to make sure your ok?
  • Oh my sweetie! That is so scary. I'm glad you're alright though and were able to make it to your graduation and the such.

    My mom would have taken me if she thought I needed to go. She did say that I would ache this morning from rolling around in the car, though. She was right.

    Thanks again for all of your guy's concerns.
  • ah good, mums always know best!



    glad your ok hun
  • AHH That GOODNESS YOU ARE OK *showers you with hugs and kisses*


    Congrats on Gradutating..god you make me feel insanely old!

    xxoo
  • Aw, honey what an insane day! I'm so glad you're ok--that is terrifying!
  • man! wow! jeez!! I'm glad you're alive, quite a scare! I can't believe you made it to your graduation too. Are you okay now? All the soreness coming to surface? Is your neck super sore? Get plenty of rest!
  • OMG you must be terrified, a while ago my car got away from me as i was coming out of my drive, and for some reason my brakes weren't working and I rolled into someone elses car at like 2mph (hahahaha shhhhhh) and that scared the shit outta me, so I hope you're ok. Congrats on graduating, but yeahm really sorry about your experience. Are you gonna be ok to drive still (i mean psycologically, not physically) ??
  • again, thanks for all of your concerns, I really appreciate it.

    my aches have gone away, I am still a little distraught from it though. My neck didn't really hurt surprisingly, just my head. I think that was from rolling around, getting dizzy from that, then hitting my head when I unbuckled myself.

    and I just got my lisence back today, a cop that my mom knows gave it back, he's a good family friend. Because of that I don't think I'm going to get any points on my record and my insurance won't go up, so I'm really grateful for that.

    and I think I'm ready to drive now, I just can't go fast on the dirt roads. I was going 45 because I was going to be late for the last rehersal. That's fast on the dirt roads, especially the ones around here because they aren't in good condition. So I'll be going about 25 on them now.

    I went to go get my CDs and a pair of shoes I had in the car, and I saw the hood of the car; it was crushed. I freaked out. I don't want to see the car again. It scares me.
  • *hugs**

    im glad you are feeling better..that is the MOST IMPORTANT PART!!


    *hugs*

    take all the time you need to start driving again...if your ready go for it! and remember...we love you biggrin.gif

    xxoo

  • i agree with roz, dont rush getting back in a car


    as if it was me i would freak the hell out just sitting in one, but im sure your not a wimp like me!
  • well, I drove by myself for a bit yesterday and today. I wasn't worried or anything. I think if I go on a dirt road, I'll freak out.

    if I stay on paved, I think I'll be all right.

    And I went to PH with my dad today because he had a doctor's appointment. I went shopping. it was good. I actually went shopping yesterday too. that was good.

    and it was better today because I saw my friend Kevin (he skipped school today) and his "friend" (hehe) Ryan. (Ryan goes to UofT, RoRo!) So that made me better. Got some hugs, it was nice. smile.gif
  • I'm so sorry! I'm glad you're ok, though.
