Still a Lot of Madness!

 In the middle of last week, Victoria was rear-ended in my car on the way home from a walk. She came to a stop at the light of one of the hills in our area, and the lady behind her, who was probably on her phone due to the force she hit her with, since she obviously had no idea Victoria was coming to a stop, rear-ended her with a lot of force. She hit the person in front of her, but that part wasn't too bad. I'm just glad she had the sense to pull over and call 911. She thought she was okay at first, but has had many days of head and neck pain, as well as soreness where the seat belt was. The dispatcher asked her if she needed an ambulance, to which she responded in the affirmative. They took her vitals for 30 minutes, and the police got the information needed from the lady in the rear, so we can more easily take care of the damage, for which she is fully responsible. They declared her okay to drive home and the vehicle okay to drive, if she wanted. She did, and Jason was on his way home in the meantime. By the time I heard about it all, I was almost done with my shift and met them at the ER, where we decided she should go to get more thoroughly checked out. After the MRI and xrays, they determined that she just had soft tissue damage and would recover in a decent amount of time. They gave her muscle relaxers and told her she would feel worse the next day, which she did. She is still not 100%, but is much better. We'll see about the car. It's not too bad, but it's getting old. We were told to clean it up so it looks better (the car mats are still covered in salt from the winter roads), and then they would determine the cost of repair vs. the value of the car. Never a dull moment around here!
