Hi folks. #:o)

These last couple of days ive had incredible support from all of you. Gotten a bunch of get well-IMs and everything. And alot of people seem to want to know what happened. And since writing is quite hard and exhausting for me at the moment, i thought i would just announce it in here once instead of answering all those IMs.

So this is what happened:

I was driving real slow on my way to work. Huge snowstorm made visibility almost zero. I came to a little hill only a few hundred yards from my house when i met a car. I slowed down further and after the car had passed and the snow-smoke had cleared i saw two headlights on my side of the road. The head on collision was unavoideable. Probably didnt take longer than half a second from when i discovered the lights till we crashed. The impact however went in slow-motion. I could see how the airbag unfolded (FIAT has the smallest airbags by the way...such a tiny one, not bigger than the steering-wheel), CDs flying around and the keychain breaking against my knees. Horns honking and loud music....and then absolute silence and darkness. Only the strong wind blowing. Soooo creepy. My first thought was to get out of my car before more cars came crashing into us since the visibility was so bad. Doors was of course stuck but i suppose you dont feel much pain when youre in shock. Then i helped the other people out of their car and 25 minutes later the ambulances came. By then i wasnt feeling too well and i was frozen to the bones. Then bla bla bla bla....here i am. Feeling alot better now with only a few broken ribs to worry about. The doctors say that theres still chance of internal bleeding but its slim. The first 2 weeks are the most critical appareantly.

So thats how it happened. There was like 300 car-crashes that night in sweden due to the blizzards that was raging across the country. I walked away from mine extremely lucky. Now i just have to hope that i get something out of my insurance. The people driving on the wrong side of the road that crashed into me were the ones calling for ambulance...and they told the emergency-personal that no police was needed at the scene. DUH! Had i been driving on the wrong side of the road i wouldnt want the police to come either. So now theres no record of how the accident happened, and if im unfortunate they can blame me. And if that happens they will be 4 to 1...sigh. #:O( Hopefully the firedepartment and rescue-personal can testify on how the car was positioned when they got there though if it comes to that extreme. Another thing that bothers me...they were responsible for the accident and I was the only one ending up in the hospital with tubes going into my body...and neither one of them have even bothered to check on how im doing. Had this been America i would have sued them for sure, lol. One thing im certain of is that i wont be able to afford a new camera for a while. Not that i need one as long as my eyes are this out of focus though. #:oP

Anyway...this little announcement took me almost 5 hours write, lol. So now im going back to bed. Hope youll have a wonderful humpday everyone!!!! It feels EXTREMELY good to be back by the way. #:O)

MAS4eva!!!!

P.S. This "texture-shot" is the kind of bruises i have on my body after the seatbelt. I assure you though....IT`S WORTH IT!!!

How come we say 'It's colder than hell outside' when isn't it realistically always colder than hell since hell is supposed to be fire and brimstone?
