Two weeks ago today, I got hit by a car while riding my bike. I'm long-run fine; my legs are enormously bruised, and my right knee is bruised, hematoma-ed, and severely sprained. Thankfully, nothing is broken or torn, so the prognosis for healing is good-but-slow. I was wearing a helmet, so while my helmet is destroyed, my head is fine. My road

Dude, no body would expect you to be positive right now. A blog about how much getting hit by a car sucks is totally reasonable and understandable given your situation.

Don't let the bastards get you down.

(If that sounds familiar, it's my all-purpose expression of support and encouragement that I use when I want to be supportive and encouraging but don't know what to say.)

I don't think you are being whiny in the least! and you sent me Gabapentin while in this state??? that even more makes you my hero!

A few years ago I was in an accident which resulted in my car being totaled, the truck in front of me had a dent...I relived it for weeks every time I closed my eyes. It was in shock for at least a week afterward and wasn't sure what to do with the wrecked car for quite a while. I know what yo mean by wanting to be done with this chapter, I am in a similar boat. With the dislocate shoulder of last year still aching and healing, and my lower back pain, there is mostly not any time I am not in pain as well. It is really irritating emotionally and tiring physically. I wish you quick and thorough healing!!!
