   Hey, guys, I'm back asking for a little TDK white light and healing energies. I was in a minor car accident this morning (first rainy day we've had in forever, and this happens!). I was rear-ended at a stop light and don't have any serious injuries, but I'm sore. My boyfriend is fussing over me -- it's sweet (but I think he's overreacting!).

   My car is a little beat up as well -- scratches, dent in the back bumper and a rear quarter panel, and I'm not sure whether I'll be able to open the trunk.

   It all could have been worse, but I'm a little frazzled nonetheless! I'd gone about two years without an accident, so I'm disappointed and embarrassed and overwhelmed with everything that needs to be done.

   Thank God you were not seriously hurt! Please watch your neck--whiplash can show up later. My prayers are with you!

   Catherine, please accept this white light, some prayers, and a (gentle) hug! Go ahead and allow your BF to coddle you, I am certain you deserve it with or without an accident! With the accident, you NEED it! Glad there was no major damage. Don't be embarrassed, it wasn't your fault. (((Catherine))) (kitty snuggles help too!)

   Thanks. I'm grateful it wasn't worse -- my overactive imagination has already imagined ways it could have been worse!

   Catherine, I'm sorry you got rear ended. I hope the insurance company doesn't give you any hassle. Remember that you don't have to go to their estimate/repair shop and you shouldn't accept a check as payment in full from them until the car has actually been fixed.

   So far as being pampered goes, let BF do as much as he wants. We could all benefit from more pampering.

   My BF says darn right about letting him fuss! And no, I'm not taking the car to the recommended body shop -- I had used them before and was not thrilled with the end result.

   The embarrassment mostly stems from the fact I decided to go to the hospital in an ambulance (I just couldn't help but think about Natasha Richardson and what happened to her) -- there were all these people around, and they put a collar on me and laid me on a back board. The folks at the hospital did a few minimal tests, said I was fine -- that I would hurt but I was fine -- and sent me home. So I feel like I made people make at all that fuss for nothing.

    Been there, done that Catherine! That whole ambulance thing seems like a big fuss doesn't it? But you just never know and it is better to be safe then sorry!

    I'm glad you weren't seriously injured. Let yourself be pampered a little!

    I absolutely agree with MollyCat, Catherine. It never hurts to be checked out. I write Worker's Comp reports for a psychologist and I can't begin to count the number of people who ended up in pain because "they didn't want to make a fuss." Always better safe than sorry. A little embarassment now may save you bigtime later.

    *Steps off soapbox* and sends hugs and healing.

    Hugs, healing and white light to you Catherine. No need to be embarrassed--it was the smart thing to do!

    Honey, you need to take full advantage of this and moan and groan every time your BF is near! Wear a neck brace, too! ;) Who knows, he might do the cooking and cleaning for a couple of weeks while you recuperate!!! Seriously, thank God you weren't hurt and it's always better to be safe than sorry. {{{Catherine}}}

    Sending White Light to you Catherine. I've had the same thing happen to me, a sixth sense told me it was about to happen and I just had time to put the car in neutral and foot on the brake so I didn't hit the car in front of me. Do not be embarrassed at all, it's not your fault you were rear-ended. Let your BF fuss over you, it shows he cares. Good on you for taking care of yourself and getting your neck checked out.

    Car accidents are so unsettling Catherine. Thank God you are okay. I have been in several car accidents (all other cars hitting me while stopped or parked!) and I have learned to *always* go to the hospital in an ambulance no matter how minor the accident. If your neck is killing you tomorrow from whiplash, it is easier to get the insurance company to cover your doctor visits if you went to the hospital by ambulance. The jolt of adrenaline that a car accident shoots into your system is exhausting and may leave you a little shaken up. Get a day or two of rest and let your BF do anything he can for you! {{{Catherine}}}

    Catherine, allow your BF to fuss over you. You are very lucky to not be injured but just the same it is always good that if you are sore or a little pain, it is good to go in an ambulance. Better safe than sorry and also it is good for your claim to the other person's car insurance. I hope they were insured. Sending healing prayers and a gentle hug to you. Tell your BF, thank you for taking good care of you.
