I am ok.

Alright, I am ok. Nothing is broken. I gashed my elbow, but it will be fine. Plus chicks dig scars! I was in a wreck coming into the office this morning.

If you have been to the place I work, you know the parking lot is kind of empty most of the time. Everyone cut across the first couple of lane of spots. This morning was no different. When I crossed the first set of parking spot a SUV slammed into my driver’s door.

I could see glass fly around inside the car as I was pushed sideways. I hit my head ageist the door jam. The next thing I remember is realizing I was rolling still. I Put my foot on the break and put the car in park. By this time there was a person at my driver’s door telling me to call the police. My brain was doing an inventory of what was still working. I remember saying “hold on… give me a minute” as I mentally asked myself if I was ok.

Trying the driver’s door I found it would not open. I found my cell phone and glasses by the passenger door on my way out. As I started to dial 911, I realized I was bleeding. My elbow had gone through the driver side window. I could not see or feel the gash, but blood was starting to pour out. I grabbed the napkins from last night’s drive-thru dinner before class, and started to hold pressure on my elbow. By now the 911 operator was on the line asking the ‘who, what and where’ questions.

I was shaken up, but everything is working. I have some safety glass cuts are here and there. Now for the funny part, I was driving the courtesy car from the dealership where I am getting my car serviced.
