So I'm gonna start this email nice and simple. I am going to set-up the beginning part of it like one of my dear friends does..
Monday(Oct. 30th): Nothing interesting happened besides regular P-Day stuff
Tuesday: HALLOWEEN!! I had a glow-stick sunglasses party and started growing my unicorn!!
My companion and I had to be inside by 7pm. We went to dinner and before we went home we stopped by at 2 members' homes and did a silly "trick-or-treat", and that was the extent of our candy. We just chilled out that evening and it was kinda nice! I also organized my desk and got a white board. I decided to be creative and make the foam roller box into a stand for the white board.
Wednesday: TEMPLE DAY!! I love going to the temple with the missionaries that I serve around! Going to the temple in general is just such an amazing experience for me in general. Driving home from the temple I felt something was off. I don't know why I felt so uncomfortable, but I did, and I didn't like it, and then...
Now the rest just became a blur because I had a little bit of a brain damage so I can't name what happened on what day.
Car accident;
As I was driving, because my companion can't drive, there was a car in front of me who wasn't being very smart. He/ she was cutting off a bunch of people and swerving between lanes. Then I was cut off by this car and they pushed on the brakes for no reason, no one was even in front of them. This car then goes to one of the left turning lanes. I was on the far left lane that went straight and I had a green light. The left turning lanes had a red light, and all of a sudden this same unsafe car decides to change their mind. They stick half of their car in my lane and don't move. Already being close to this car, I slowed down, thinking they would move. Then not thinking about anything else, the car behind me, who was a truck, was too close to me and hit the back of my bumper, not with a lot of force. The car in front of us left the scene so it was just the car behind us and us. He was annoyed with the car that was in front of us, because he was also cut-off by them as well and then they caused this to happen. He was super nice about it all and gave us his insurance because he was too close to us anyways and didn't see fast enough to hit the brakes.
After affect;
So I didn't notice anything out-of-the-ordinary until about 2-3 hrs after the crash. We did service then came home for lunch. I was stretching out on a foam roller and I woke-up sleeping on the floor. Apparently, according to my companion, other things happened once we got home and I can't recall what occurred. I also woke-up on the couch and then another time on the couch with a blanket over me. We then went to the library and Sister Aversa started feeling a little dizzy with a bit of a headache. After dinner Wednesday night our nurse told us to go home and sleep.
Thursday: The next day my companion was feeling better, and I wasn't. We both received a Priesthood Blessing from our wonderful District Leader. We called the nurse and she contacted the surgeon, they both agreed that I should go to the chiropractor. So that's what I did, but nothing super big came out from that besides knowing that I got a concussion from the whiplash. I never hit my head tho. For most of this day I just rested and slept.
Friday: I rested some more.
Saturday: I felt completely fine. This morning we went to the car and it wouldn't unlock. After many texts back and forth between us and our leaders and a good couple of minutes we found out how to take the plastic off of the handle and get inside the car. It turned out that the car was dead. I learned how to jump start a car!! Super happy about that. We went to an appointment, and she didn't let us in so we stood outside her house the whole time. After standing up for so long and then driving around, I didn't feel so wonderful anymore. Halfway through the day I started feeling nauseous again. We called our nurse and then I was driven to Urgent Care. While I was there the wonderful Brother Brent Jones, the guy in the stake in charge of the missionaries, met us there. I'm not exactly sure how he found out, but I was glad to see him there and see how fast he could get there. I was told, once again, that I had a concussion. This Dr, who also was a member, told us to take it easy.
Sunday: I wasn't allowed to go to church.
Monday: No P- Day for me and I stayed home.
Tuesday: Also stayed home. I bought a dress online with my member and my previous companion. I was about to cut/ hem it.
Wednesday: FREEDOM!! Now I'm outta time so email me any questions and I'll get back to you next week. I am back to normal ;)
