Short version: We're all pretty much OK. Except for the Prius, that's pretty much toast.

Yikes!

What a mess! But, well done, crash-cage designers. Yay, everybody okay!

You might try some glucosamine/chondroitin supplements for a couple of weeks, I like what they do for soft connective tissue.

And yay for good carseats, too.

I'll look into the supplements to be sure there are no interaction warnings with other stuff I take, but thanks for the tip.

That's a great idea. Another thing to inquire about would be vitamin B-6 supplements; I was in a car wreck several years ago, and had some back strain and when it was not healing quite as fast as he'd have liked my doctor recommended B-6, and it really seemed to help.

Holy crap, that's an impressive photo.

It's a scan of a polaroid the aid people gave me to take to the hospital to show the doctors "this is what happened to the car, please guess likely injuries." I was pretty amazed to see just how much everything really folded up.

Did anything interesting happen to the Prius batteries?

[emmacrew]

I have no idea! Roger's going tomorrow to get all the rest of our stuff out of the car, I'll ask him to take a look.

yikes! poor car! so glad you are all ok, though!

[emmacrew]

Poor little car. I really liked it.

I'm glad that you're (more or less) OK. That's some impressive damage to the Prius. Yay for modern safety technology!

[goingdriftless]

Wow... So glad you're all OK!
