    I was driving back from San Deigo with one of my business associates from a Training Session down in Long Beach. We hit the road Utah time about 9pm and stopped in Vegas to stay at a friend's place to nap. (sister of the famous Paul walker! hehe) And then I took the shift from about 3:30 am and on. I was totally up for it and doing great on I-15 heading north. Even on the canyons, which was really really curvey (thanks to MarioKarts!), did I ever tear them up! i was proud of myself. So come about 7:30 am, I accidently started to vear toward the left, ( i being in the left lane) and almost hit the poles that are reflects by night. So I overcompensate to the Right and lost control of the car. I yelled, "kyle!!!" and he quickly woke up and tore his shirt trying to help me, he brought me and i was completely out after that. until finally after rolling 3 1/2 times, and going over a barb wire fence, ( we certainly got air!) and 2 football fields later we stop. And the car is landed on the passager's side. so Kyle hops out with all the adenraline, and I finally wake up (open my eyes) and start cussin' Man I was so shaken up. And I couldn't move until the paramedics got there, they want to take apart the car to get me out, but I'm pretty stubborn and so no, I'm fine I'll get out this way, and I did. My left arm is soooo much in PAIN and my hand is soo puffy (like a balloon it really hurts). and my left arm is torn up. The only window that didn't break was the front window all the others, smashed.
    I was escorted by amibulance to the Hospital and there cleaned up a little. My clothes are so dirty from the ground and my hair, we won't even go there. I was so mad, I kept telling the ladies All i wanna do is go home. And so I go to the hospital, and they tried to help me, and they took x rays of my hand, which it feels like it's smashed into pieces but it's not and got some stitches in my hand and one for my elbow, (it was so courageous getting it, they didn't even num it.) I didn't cry either rather got cheery, although I wanted to faint.

    The police gave me a citation, well well, I'll have lawyers review that...

    The Police officer rated our accident a 10, but give us as injuries a 1, thanks to seatbeats and pure luck.

    And I have a big (two) bumps on my head. Ouch! but other then all those things, the car is totalled and I'm ok, JUST REALLY REALLY SHAKEN UP RIGHT NOW.

    I called Matt right away. I had to tell him that I loved him again.

    Trish, Michael read your message to me last night and I was stunned. I'm glad you're all right, even if the car didn't survive.

    Is there anything I can do for you?

    I was wondering how you were able to type so well with the pulverized hand.

    I'm glad that you are alright.

    yeah the typing that post took a while. That's the only bad thing about it. I can't play the piano as well now either, errrgggg!

    but for now the swelling has gone down to almost as if there was none. I still have the stitches in. I can't squeeze my left hand yet, and the gash are still sore. I accidently pulled out a stitch from my elbow! oops. o well. Things are alot better now. still wake up in some pain and stuff, but i'm under dr.s care and I'm going to a physical therapist to make sure that in the long run I don't suffer from something.
