Ouch!

I've just had an unexpected afternoon off work... sadly because my car was dunched at lunchtime - with me in it. I'm OK - although I was very shaken at the time. I was turning off the road to go to our main work stores, checked the car behind me as I slowed to a stop, and he seemed to be decelerating, then there was an almighty 'bang' and he had accelerated into me. He was only a young man, accepted it was entirely his fault, and there was a witness - so no worries about that, but I was very shaken, and the work car is a bit second-hand.

I actually went on down the 20 yards to stores, where I was sat down, given a cup of tea, and as soon as my manager knew she came straight up and took me to A&E, waited with me, sorted out the car stuff, and brought me home. She also cancelled my afternoon clinic. A good manager!

A&E doctor declared me to have mild whiplash, gave me some anti-inflammatories, and predicted I will feel much stiffer tomorrow.

I'm pretty sure he is going to be proved right about that. But - I'm fine really.

Thank you - and yes she is a good one - she was making calls to cancel stuff for me, and also to cancel a meeting she was meant to be having because 'You are more important'.

I was really quite shocked when it happened - my brain only really began to function properly about 90 minutes after the knock.

I got a mild concussion in a car accident ten years ago, and didn't realize it until the next day. Be gentle with yourself for the next few days as your body and emotions start to settle down.
