rear ended...

This evening on my drive home from work, I got rear ended. I was at a stop sign, thought that 74a was clear to go, but then quickly realized it wasn't so didn't continue. The person behind me decided not to come to a stop at the stop sign and instead was gunning it and ran into me. It jolted me and I guess according to a guy who saw it happened pushed my car out further. Luckily for the lovely corolla and the woman's car who hit me, no damage was done. The woman just wanted to continue on our way, but I was asked for her information just in case something happens to me! When she said our cars were fine, I told her I wasn't really worried about the cars, but that I'd taken quite a hit and jerked forward and I was worried more about me and the baby, so I'd like to trade information just in case. The guy who saw it happen was awesome and told me that if I needed a witness here was his card. That was awesome that he stopped.

Then I got in my car and had to pull out across 2 lanes of traffic in order to make it to my chiropractic appointment. Which I did and by that time, I was a blubbery mess because I couldn't believe that had happened. It's been about 10 years since I was in my last accident and that was some guy who rear ended the car behind, but was going so fast that it hit me and wrecked the bed of my truck. Anyway, my chiropractor told me to have 2 epsom salt baths tonight, one when I got home and another just before bed to help my neck not tighten up. Hope that it works, because I am doing a guided hike tomorrow morning!   I'm sure I'll be fine, it's more shocking than anything.  And I thought the craziest thing that was going to happen to me today was that I had to ask a woman who's pet bird was pooping in her hair that her pet needed to remain outside in accordance with the sign posted on the window "Pets Not Allowed".
