the scariest day ever...
Ok so here goes... Perky and I went on this awesome trip to Fla to see my family. We had the best time. We stayed really busy;Perky got to ride horses; we went to the beach; we had a cookout with my family. On the way back is when the adventure began. We were driving through Opelika, Alabama and it was raining. We hit a water pocket and did about three spins and ran off the road into a ditch. Impressively, we didn't hit any other cars at all. But the car was pretty messed up and we were pretty shaken up from flying over the side of the road. So hydroplaning sucks pretty much. Well we're fine. We call the cops. Three or four people stop to check on us. Yay human society. The cops get there. Three cop cars, a firetruck which Perky persistantly wanted to ride in and i think So the cop tells us we can get in the back of his trooper car and call the wrecker while he fills outa report which he has to fill out cuz damage was done to the car. So we're sitting there peacefully in the back of a cop car. Reasonably safe place right??? wrong. A semi rearends the police car while we're sitting in the back and he's in the front. I assume it pushed us up, but I dont' know for sure. The back left side of the car was caved in and I couldn't remember anything all the sudden because I hit my head on the partition between the front and back seat and Perky hit her head, but I started freaking out. First car wreck, I was making jokes, second, I started to panic a little bit. We'll call it a lot. SO then we are sitting there and I am calling my mom and Perky is calling hers and the cop is calling the cops cuz well we're screwed. Finally an ambulance comes and we all get neck braces... Totally worthless cuz by this time Perky and i have moved all over the place because rain was coming in through the shattered windows and we were soaked. They get us all out of the car and on to stretchers and into the ambulance. In the meantime an EMT tries to pick up tilley and she bites him, but they get her in the ambulance with me. She pretty sore at this point and not a fan of loud noises. So we go to the hospital and I'm making jokes again, but the EMT askes me how old I am. Totally forgot. I told her I was 23 and while she was calling it in, i was like NO WAIT.. I think I'm 22. DO you know how many questions they ask you when you don't want to answer any? A lot. A lot a lot. So we get to the hospital and the guy that pulls me out says, "well you dont' see that everyday," cuz tilley is sitting on my stomach with a towel on her. I had to put her in a crate and they took her to the humane society at this point. Perky is already there and in her own room and I get put in a different room with the cop who we were with. I'm cold, I'm wet, I'm on a backboard and I can't find Perky. They keep asking if anything is numb or hurts. Our favorite question, "on a scale of 1-10 how bad is the pain." I'M ON A STRETCHER!!!!! so we both said 5-6, but there was a chart to guide us in case we couldn't figure out what "n a scale of 1-10" meant. OH insert ( did i forget to tellyou that the semi didnt' pull over. he just kept going.) So fun part, CAT scan. Well Perky's wasnt fun, but i was entertained with mine. i was like, wow i've never had one of these before. But everything checked out and we were both fine so we are ready to go home. NOW we can't find the after hourse number the humane society left with the ER so we can pick up tilley. So a really great nurse calls a lot of people and finally someone meets us there. YAY!!! and on the road again. Two very not happy people. My mom picked us up and brought us back to Charlotte on a really short road trip. The End. PRetty much. We're both pretty sore and our head hurt really bad and we're still dizzy sometimes, but other than that. THE END.
